How I Started to Make Money From Blogging
When I decided to launch my blog, I wanted to make sure I was committed to writing before I let myself dive into the design of my blog (which is so fun).
So, I wrote 10 posts, saved them on my computer, and only then started looking for a WordPress theme.
After setting up my blog, the stress at my day job increased, and I did not publish any new blog posts for a few months. I was feeling so frustrated with not making progress with the blog and also so lost about the right strategy to take and how to start building income streams successfully as a new blogger. About that time, I came across By Sophia Lee’s content about blogging.
A few weeks later, I joined Sophia’s blogging course (I actually bought her blogging and Pinterest course together) and started changing things around. I started my Pinterest account, updated old blog posts, and started publishing more posts, but this time, I was following a strategy that I knew was going to work (not just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks!).
A few months passed, and in September 2023, I got my first income on my blog. Just like that, I saw this email out of the blue when I opened my phone in the morning.
This was the moment that changed everything for me.
First of all, it changed my thinking about what’s possible! It made me believe that it is possible for me to make money blogging. Most of all, I got so motivated to keep going, put in more effort, and started to be dedicated to my blog. As you will see in my blog income reports, I have been generating new income every month (of course, there are ups and downs, but that’s all right and expected for a new blog). I am SO grateful for these results!
