When it comes to blogging, there are only two kind of people:
- People, who believe, blogging is just an egocentric way of annoying everyone in the internet with an opinion, nobody asked for. It’s a weird hobby and certainly not a REAL job.
- People, who think, that being a blogger means getting everything for free as long as you take some pictures of it, being paid crazy amounts of money just for typing some words on your laptop and looking pretty.
The truth has nothing to do with either of them. Blogging is a REAL job and it’s HARD work. However, if you know, what you’re doing, stay on track and keep working on your blogging goals no matter what, the sky is the limit!
Let’s answer some burning questions:
How much money can you actually make blogging?
How long does it take to make a blog profitable?
What are the best ways to make money blogging FAST?
How much traffic do I need in order to make a full-time income from my blog?
I’m a strong believer in learning from the best. Why would you try to figure it all out yourself, when there are so many people, who reached everything you dream of and are willing to share, how they did it?
