When I started writing Magical Penny I wanted to share my experiences of investing and encourage my friends to start investing too. I built up a readership of people interested in what I had to say about money topics and within a few months I started receiving emails from companies wanting to pay me to write about them. This was my first taste of earning money from a website, rather than websites costing me money to develop and keep running!
I have continued to earn money from my blog, and for a a couple of years, I lived off the income from this blog before and during my career transition into the financial planning profession. I have continued to earn money from this and other blogs but compared with a lot of other ‘probloggers’ my blogging income has been relatively small. There’s a reason for this – the blog world moves so fast and is always changing and adapting.
What worked well to attract readers, advertisers and sponsors in 2010 and 2011 might not necessarily work today in 2017.
That’s why a new book, Blogging your way to Riches, is such a great read. It’s current, relevant and is written by two bloggers who are actually doing (successfully) what they are writing about.
The book has been written to give you the formula you need to turn your blog into a profit-making business. The real-life examples of both the good and the bad of blogging for a living were informative and entertaining.
Personally, I’ve enjoyed about flexible blogging can be, and experienced first hand how surprisingly profitable it can be. Creating and maintaining a blog can also be empowering and it’s satisfying to see how a little work in the present can grow over time into something that impacts thousands of people through the power and potential of the internet.
If you want to take your blogging game to next level I can highly recommend Blogging Your Way To Riches
