Alternate title: Creative steps to becoming a pro blogger
Professional Blogger: One who makes a monetary living from a blog or blogs
Professional YouTuber: One who makes a monetary living from a channel or channels.
“Wow, can you show me how to do that?”
That is the question I always get when I try and explain to people what it is I do for a living.
I always tell them the same thing, no, but today I am going to share with you how you can become a professional blogger.
Note: When I say professional blogger I mean that you make money from your blog. I don’t mean you have a loyal following, I don’t mean you write controversial pieces, I don’t mean you have a real witty sense of humor, I mean you make green dollars and red cents.
But why the heck would you want to become a pro blogger? The obvious reason anyone would want to become a pro blogger is the amount of freedom it gives you. Say goodbye to sitting in traffic at 8am, yelling at all the morons who can’t drive while sipping your McDonald’s orange juice and munching on a sausage biscuit with cheese, cursing God. I can’t even remember the last time I was stuck in traffic at 8am or 5pm. At 8am every morning I’m at my desk sipping coffee, at 5pm, well, no matter what I’m doing it isn’t sitting in traffic waiting to get home after a hard day of office gossiping
Money is freedom and power. What would happen when you start making money? you will starte getting things your own way and you will start saying no a lot more. you will become much more demanding. Money is power.
In your current job/gig you are tied to a metropolitan area. You may be making some money but to keep doing so you will have to get stuck with it. You are tied to a certain city and certain area but FREEDOM is worth a alot more.
