Occupational Bloggers experience: Darren's blog storiesarticle from Darren preface, one article [blog] On complaints about the secret operations of the author ProBlogger: a typical career blog, a full-time blog writers and make a living, improve the use blog to make money when people think of ProBlogger, The blog currently has a six-figure income, mainly on how to make money through blog. The following is the text: I started writing a blog in the first year, I who is three jobs, work-study, and then taking the time to write a blog. Many readers initial login ProBlogger.net common misconception, they think by writing blog I earn six figures a year in revenue dollars overnight thing. Fact not the case. Write blog does make more and more people get income, but the process is definitely not overnight. For this reason, I would like to share my own blog story, talk about how I became from an amateur career blog author. Well, the first cup of coffee, do not be binding, relax. This story is a long story. Former ...... November 2002, when I first time in his first (and for a period not longer) blog click the 'Publish' button, I do think that this kind of 'blogs' on and heard to above, it can only provide a little fun for themselves only. The reason I created this blog a lot, but the most important thing out of curiosity, trying to find a new hobby, but hope that through it and I met some new friends with similar interests. At that time I work who is three. My three jobs at that time, my main job is to serve in a church pastor, three days a week. This is not a full-time job (I was not the main pastor, but is Popular Nike Force 1 Mens Black Pink Shoes part of a four-person team), my major responsibilities and young people to deal with. I was already engaged (and Vanessa, I call her 'V'), and are trying to save money for the wedding, but also has car loan and pay tuition, so have to find several part-time. (Even in the best of times the pastor's salary is not impressive, part-time earn even more worth a mention.) My other job is to work in an online store. This may sound funny, but also to write blog seems a little help, but in fact not the case. I'm actually a warehouse run errands and do odd jobs in the company, the main job is nothing more than sweeping, cleaning, cargo handling, sorting packaging, as well as some other trivial but boring task. Nevertheless, part of the job to help me pay the bills. The third part of my job is temporary. I want to listen to the disposal of an employment agency, to undertake a wide variety of temporary work, whether it is on the conveyor belt numbing pipeline operations, or assist in building circus venue (in short, just call). In addition to these efforts, I have to find time to come and collect my theology degree - to this degree, I struggled for a full 10 years. So one day, as if predestined general, I made a first blog. Amateur blog author first I want to say I click 'publish' the moment the earth was moving, the kingdom of light shine on the earth, and then I suddenly became a professional blog author - but we all know that this situation is not too likely to occur, even if there did not happen to me. In fact, in the first 12 months or so almost less update my blog. The only change is that I am more busy because I more than a course in school, but also to put aside the priest's work in favor of a new leadership team to carry out the 'emerging church.' At that time, write a blog for me is just interested in it, but it is also a way to keep my contact with other people on the 'emerging church' of interest. That year my blog LivingRoom (http://www.livingroom.org.au/blog) had little visibility in the emerging church circles, but at the same time the cost of access to my hosting and ISP (then I was through dial-up Internet access) are beginning now gone. I wrote a blog about a year later, I stumbled upon yet another established digital photography blog. Initially it is a picture blog, but no one sees my photos, but rather I wrote a review about your own camera to attract a lot of traffic. To pay for hosting fees, I decided to add some inside this blog affiliate marketing mechanism AdSense ads and Amazon. My aim just hope to fill in spending. I soon discovered that the desire to fill the expenses become a reality. Not only is there the reason Google advertising revenue, more importantly, because of my blog every day thousands of readers stable presence (Please keep in mind that). However, even if web traffic is very stable, early income is not high. In my first month (October 2003), I earn an average of $ 1.40 a day, but there are many times in which Special Nike Air Force 1 Low Womens Pink Shoes ad clicks are caused by curious readers. In November, my daily income reached $ 3. The money insignificant, Air Jordan 4 but it helped me pay the costs. At this point I started out a little more imagination will save money down, and then buy a new computer (when my old PC has been used for six years, and I use it every day to blog dial). Another one of my long-term goal is to save enough money to get someone to conduct a professional design blog. By December, my income has reached $ 6 per day in January is $ 9 per day, $ 10 a day in February, then in March of $ 15 per day - not a lot of money, but it has made me start Imagine, if the income according to the look how long-term growth will continue. I'm not saying that every month more income twenty-three US dollars a day, but -! Think about it, if I can maintain a monthly 30%, 40% or even 50% growth rate, that I started to think how cool exponential growth problem. Part-time blog author was about this time, a few more free time I need to find another part-time job. I gradually reduce the academic burden (I finally graduated), while other work is not done. V (now wife) began suggesting that maybe I should find a part time job (indeed should), but we decided after I get my degree by the end of June, must be free of two days a week to find a fixed work. And since that time I have been in my heart secretly wondering name, wondering how in the end need to earn in order to write a daily blog called my part-time job. April's income credited into account, the average is about $ 20 a day. I realized that I had found a part-time job for themselves. Blog make money by wonderful is that it does not rest day, seven days a week can bring you income. So my weekly total income is $ 140. I started to work harder to write blog (often from work until about midnight), hoping to earn enough money to persuade the V no longer forced me to find a 'real' part-time, so the focus to write a blog on it. Hard work paid off. May average daily revenue reached $ 32, while the end of June, my monthly income for the first time broke through the $ 1,000 mark, on average $ 48 per day for Houston. This is a critical moment, I and V must consider how to take the next move. I might be able to continue like this every day after work, take the time to write a blog, but to find a job; or I could learn the time originally belonged to two days for the blog, and in the end able to see for yourself what kind. I decided to try to write a blog for six months and see what happens finally. But after six months, I and V still undecided - get a 'real job' as lingering pressure like clouds. At the same time I have a new computer, and have long admired professional blog design. The story was talking about this to stop it. I must say that New Nike Air Force 1 Mens Red White Shoes this decision on the V and me really a bit crazy. Neither of us start over, and although I have so little entrepreneurial spirit, but in many ways we were still a fairly conservative person. Although the figures show that there are a lot of credit to the possibility of other dimensions, but the idea was weird listening. I mean, who would make money by writing blog? Of course, we do not put a lot of 2015 Latest Nike Shoes people decided to tell their own, and only told his family and a few friends, but after hearing the news will surprise almost everyone, but problems continue , for example: '? Very good, but you also intend to find a formal job right,' or ask: 'Are you a small business that amateur now how?' Now I no longer listed monthly income, but I have to say that every Zhou invest two days to write blog is the wisest decision we did. But I want to emphasize that this decision is what I've written in 19 months, but after the establishment of a number of blog can bring substantial income was made. I would never recommend that people blog early in his career on whims to quit working properly. Take your time, because even though I go through this path, many other people have gone for a long time, and some people may in fact not go through. Throughout the second half of 2004, and I continue to spend two days a week to write a blog, but with an additional three days to do other work (work of the church and warehouse). Every week I spend time actually more than two days, because I almost always stay up all night to work long hours every day to develop good blog, and sometimes I will work around the clock in a row (for example during the Athens Olympic Games, I and another person to launch a blog about the Olympic game). This time I started writing while many blog (once at the same time there are 20), and test a variety of revenue sources and advertising system. It is, at this time I began to seriously publish articles on how to write a blog, and on my blog, 'living room' on opened up a dynamic 'blog tips' little column. The content is not suitable for some readers, so I decided to put all those tips are moved to a new blog, and called ProBlogger.net. Website on September 23, 2004 formally launched. Finally - Occupational blog author to mid-December 2004, we almost decided in 2005 I will try to write a blog for a living. Because writing blog revenue continues to increase, I've turned down most of the warehouse work, and because we have transformed into a church volunteer leadership model, I work in the church is over. November and December have made amazing income, everything is going smoothly, occur until mid-December of that disaster. Google conducted a notorious algorithm update, some blog search rankings skyrocketed, some are plummeting, and I unfortunately belong to the latter group. Most of my blog has disappeared from Google search results, disappears along with nearly three-quarters of Web traffic and revenue. Hey ~! Next six months, the outlook looks like not sure, I do not know the next time Google's algorithm will update everything restitution or worse. In mid-December this update us thrown into a barely linger to the point, but it is time to develop a contingency plan. There was a time I even went to reappear forced another part-time. Google's next algorithm update once things finally returned to slightly lower than the previous level. This experience gave me many lessons, including the importance of diversification of interest, do not rely solely on search engines to bring traffic, choose another line of work should always expect all kinds of surprises. 2005 was a busy year. While I was working part time in the 'Google case' found, while a full-time writing blog (a little inadequacy, but very worth it). I continue to make their own efforts to diversify, resulting in a new blog and partnership, which also blog and another co-author Andy Wibbels has developed a program called Six-Figure blogging (6 digits fetched blog). The name of the course from the day I realized that the blog has been able to make me more than one hundred thousand US dollars per year! - What a shocking achievement since then, things can not be closed, I made a number of significant progress. I and some other people jointly launched the blog Group Network --b5media. We started with the small, only ten or twenty blog, but soon we'll have it developed into more than 300 blog, from all over the world employ hundreds of blog authors large networks. In the second half of 2006 the site received a sum of $ 2 million in venture capital, and continue to grow now. Founder TwiTip.com. Twitter's rise create introduction let me see the opportunities for Twitter tips blog. Turning e-book publishing. 2008 recession began, I began to plan to sell their products through the channel widening income. In 2009, I was with my two main blog - 31 Days to Buid a Better Blog and The Essential Portrait Guide-- for the material published two books. 2010, I published the e-book called Photo Nuts and Bolts on photography, this is related to the theme of the second e-book. EBooks now in operation even more. ProBlogger community. I broaden revenue streams and a strategy: a subsidiary founded ProBlogger.com--ProBlogger.net community. The introduction of fee community membership, currently the number of members has reached more than 2,000, has become a bloggers focus depth of charge on the method taught blog sites. Why do I want to say that the lessons learned story? Just complacent it? I really like the memory of the past, but must not stop here. I tell this story mainly want to emphasize the following points. (1) it takes Nike Dunk SB Womens time to make money by writing blog. Although many stories of people make big money by blog speeds faster than me (I remember that from 2002 started), but there are still a lot of people's progress much slower than me. I have luck, I have kept the crazy work, and I started writing a blog years have not been so competitive. All this made me. I spent a year and a half's time and only then write a blog as their part-time work, and later spent a whole year before they converted to full-time. To write a blog turned professional takes a long time. (2) step by step. Unless you are there in one place a lot of cash, or well-off family can make ends meet, otherwise I think you'd have to step by step toward the career blog road. My approach is to always have a backup plan, and I will only pay the equivalent of the income and only after gradually increasing the time to write a blog. My wife and I decided to revenue needed to reach a common standard, and we reached a consensus, revenue brought once write blog below this standard, I have to look for other work. We also made time constraints. If revenue does not meet the appropriate standard within the time limit, I have to find work. Although this rule might sound a bit stiff or frustrating, but I do not want to put aside the V and I are comfortable way and leave her alone to go forward. V has been incredibly supported me, let me go to chase their dreams, even if they seem odd - and of course she also used the voice of reason when pulled me back to reality. (3) hard work and strict constraints. As I mentioned in the story again and again, I have been in countless nights writing blog into the wee hours. Although now I have a better time to plan, but sit 12 hours in front of the screen, post 50 times a day situation is still not uncommon. I love to write blog, so I never regarded it as burden, but I must admit that at times have become slack, want it aside. Friends talk about business at home, often say to me that they can not engage in such work, because of the temptations too great, it is easy to lose the initiative to Air Jordan 11 work initiative. In fact, I, too, but have been trying to restrain himself, and my success is largely due to this constraint. (4) Follow Your Dream. I mainly want to explain the story in front of three points, so that everyone with a realistic look upon this process to become a professional blog author. I do not intend to use the one-sided viewpoint touted blog, do not egg on everyone's desire to get rich overnight, otherwise it will recruit people curse. Here I have to talk to responsibly say that it is possible to make money by writing a blog. And for some people (not all), it is also possible to earn a lot of money. There are more and more people begin to rely on a full-time living by writing blog (b5media we hired a lot), but there are many more people just take it to increase income as a part-time, while most of the time to work, raising a family or study. I hope that this article will make more and more people earn a living by writing blog.
