You might think you’ve explored every angle of your topic, leaving no stone unturned. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many bloggers encounter this challenge, especially after the initial excitement fades, usually between 6 to 12 months into their blogging journey. This feeling of having “said it all” can be discouraging, but it’s far from the end of the road. The Myth of Exhausted Topics: The feeling that you’ve covered every topic under the sun is a common misconception among bloggers. Rather than viewing your blog archives as a completed checklist, I encourage you to see them as a goldmine of untapped potential. Your past posts are not just remnants of your blogging journey; they’re stepping stones to deeper, more enriched content. Her

You’re not alone. Many aspiring bloggers share the ambition of turning their passion into a full-time job, yet the path to achieving this goal often seems daunting. The Dream of Full-Time Blogging Last night I was chatting with a blogger who was feeling completely overwhelmed with their goal of making a living from blogging. I asked them how much they wanted to make from blogging. They responded that they wanted to be a full time blogger. I pushed them for a figure – what does ‘full time’ mean for you? They thought for a moment and said that they could live off $30,000 USD a year (note: they wouldn’t have minded earning more but would be able to quit their current job at this kind of rate). $30,000 a year sounds like a lot to make from a blog – especially when you’re starting out a

Posted By  Darren Rowse   4th of April 2024   Miscellaneous Blog Tips     0 Comments In November 2002 I first heard the word blog after a mate e-mailed me a link and said I should consider starting one. Within 24 hours I’d created my first blog (a blogspot blog that doesn’t exist today). Since that time I’ve run 20+ blogs (most have survived, some have not) and I’ve also transitioned from hobby blogger to part time blogger to full time blogger. Along the way have been many challenges, milestones and celebrations so today I thought I’d do some reflection and create a list of things I wish someone had sat me down and told me in the early days. Here’s my top 18 lessons learned in my 20+ years of blogging. Write your own ‘lessons’ list and let us know about it in comments below.

Is it really possible to make a living from blogging? Is it just a small number of people making money from blogging? Is it only really possible to make money blogging if you write about the topic of making money blogging? If it is  really  possible to make money blogging, how  likely  is it that you’ll succeed? Let’s cut through the noise. With a swirl of myths and a sprinkle of truth, the blogging world is ripe with tales of riches and rumors of impossibility.   On one hand, we see hype on the topic. Periodically someone will claim to be able to make millions from blogging quickly. These claims are usually accompanied with the release of a product or service (i.e. they are marketing spin). On the other hand, I periodically see people writing about how it is impossible to make money blogging (or that anyone claiming to be
