Is It Possible???

    Is it really possible to make a living out of blogging?
    Time has shown that people are amazing. And to answer the question, yes it is 100% possible to make a living online blogging about passion, work etc.
    But it takes time, and you need to endure. It is when you have gotten the ball to roll things starts to go by themselves.

    So to keep this interesting, I would love to hear some stories from others!
    When did you first get started? How has the journey been? Are you doing good, or do you find it difficult to keep the motivation up when you´re not seeing result?
    Anything would do!

    By the way, I am running a blog/website where I share tips and tricks on the topics of blogging and marketing. If you´re interested, send me a pm.

    Cheers!
    HR..

    Sure! The world wide blogging scene is pretty much saturated. It’s not impossible to grow a successful blog, but it’s hard to find a niche and even harder if you want to make a living out of it.
    Good luck :)

    Definitely, you can make living out of blogging. Before that you will have to make strategic plans to make your living from blog. First thing include is content of blog. It should be unique and users should find it useful so that they can share content of blog to drive more traffic. You also need to submit blog on various blogging websites, social bookmarking websites, social media websites etc. This way you can promote your blog and start gaining traffic and using adwords from Google can become your income source.

    You can but you need to come up with a topic you are passionate about. You need to come up with endless content for your blog.

    Of course it is! :) But you have to consider everything that will be required to be involved...

    1. Traffic - without traffic, you're not going to make money... The more traffic, the more money potentials and I mean human traffic... buying likes, using xrumer and the works of what is automated is going to result in bot traffic and spammers which neither will be interested in making you rich
    2. Content matters... My God does content matter and not just any kind of content either... You need to be pumping out content that no one else is writing about (and its out there, I promise you) and you need to make it extremely useful. If a reader leaves your blog with some new-found knowledge and a smile, he or she will likely return
    3. Trust - in order to make the bank, you need to be trusted, take DPs simple rules for example... Don't lie... Don't cheat... Don't steal... Don't spam, don't do any of that to place negative points against your reputation as an expert in that niche and you bubba can make some money :)

    The part where they went to the porn site? Just kidding.

    You could make a living out of anything today, just goes to show how much people give attention to the smallest of topics. You just got to position yourself good in that niche and be an authority on it.

    You could make money out of any passion if you adapt it to the marketplace nowadays. The question is : blogging is your passion ? If you don't like it, odds are against you
    Go for what you like the most . Hope this helps

    I started blogging three years ago. I quickly learned it was very easy to make money from blogging if you were happy to sell backlinks. In 2013 I managed to make a solid five figures from a simple travel blog. However, I wouldn't recommend this business model if you want to establish a blog that makes a solid five/ six figure annual income.

    In my opinion, the best way to use a blog is to build it around a business. Groovehq.com and Crazyegg.com are both good examples of companies that have used this business model successfully. This is more of a long term viable business model, but it takes longer to establish and it's hard work to get a return on your investment.
