Creating a Profitable Blog and Website is Possible if you have an Income Strategy

When I started my first website 10 years ago, I didn’t exactly have an income strategy; I just wanted to take the workshops I was teaching at community colleges, adult education centers, and my church…and put them online so women all over the world could take them.

Creating a profitable blog isn’t easy these days because the barrier to entry has been lifted; which means anyone with a computer, an internet connection, and a little tech skills can start a blog.  There are a lot of blogs out there that were put up strictly to not deliver value and just to get traffic and hope that someone will click on their Google ads so they can get paid.

If you look at the statistics approximately 60-75% of bloggers make less than $100 per month with their blog.

I’m happy to report that my online income for this month (August 2014) is $11,471.25 and this comes from “multiple streams of income”!

Would you like to Make Money Online? Here are 5 Reasons To Quit Your Day Job And Start Blogging

I am going to make a bold statement:  Your job is keeping you broke!  There, I said it!

I know this from personal experience because after 17 years in the legal field I was flat broke and living paycheck to paycheck.

Loral Langemeier, author of “Millionaire Maker” says:   

“People…want to hang onto their secure job with benefits package, even though their passive income would really build momentum if they gave it more time and attention.  At this point, these day jobs do NOT offer safety and security as much as they represent MISSED TIME AND OPPORTUNITY.”

So before I tell you the 5 Reasons you should quit your day job (because it’s making you broke) and start blogging, let me share a little about how I got started making money online…

There’s a saying “Getting Fired is Nature’s Way of Telling You that You were in the Wrong job in the first place.”

That’s what happened to me in 2000.  I wish I could say I quit my job to follow my dreams, but it didn’t exactly happen that way… Read More…

Are you wondering how to make money from a blog?

I think the question I get asked the most is “How do I make money from a Blog?”  Before we answer that question, let’s first talk about what a blog is.

The term “blog” did not even exist before the late 1990’s.  Before “blogs” existed there were “moderated discussion forums” online where people shared information about specific topics.
