The post How I Created My Profit Streams and Became a Full-Time Blogger appeared first on ProBlogger. And that worries me, because the last thing I want is for you to think you’ll never achieve numbers and that you should abandon the idea of making money as a blogger. I started blogging in late 2002. Starting from scratch.

Some of them humoured me.

Fashion, food, travel—you name it, bloggers are cashing in. On some levels I was at the right place at the right time—I got into blogging early (in 2002 … although I felt I was late to it at the time) and have been fortunate enough to have started blogs at opportune times on the topics I write about. This is simply not true.

They didn’t create that audience. I wrote my first guest post back in 2002, before guest posting was even a thing. Another blogger read one of my posts, and sent me an email asking if he could interview me on his blog. But this guy’s been blogging for a year now, and he has a decent audience. That’s a lot of work.

While blogs have changed over the years, they are still the best way to stake out your own little piece of the internet, to provide a home base for all your content on whatever topic or niche you’re into, serving whichever audience or community you choose. I was wrong.
