We all know (or have heard of) people turning their blog into a business. The numbers may still be small…but they are growing rapidly. As I meet more ‘mompreneurs’, I find myself questioning whether or not I should go down that path?
Would turning a hobby into a job make me feel even more ‘blogligated’?
Would I provide enough value to set myself apart?
How does one actually go about generating revenue from a blog?
Like most (or all) of you, I didn’t start blogging to make money, and I’ll blog-on regardless. However, if I’m going to continue putting so much thought, time and effort into this blog, doesn’t it make sense to see if the blog can become a home-based business? And if it can help facilitate my love for going places and doing things, then I’m in!
Enter Vanessa Brown.
Vanessa of I Never Grew Up is a consultant who teaches people how to turn their blog into a business. She knows how to earn money through blogging and has created a comprehensive (yet user-friendly) program to show others how to do it. I’ve decided to look into her program and am excited to implement what she teaches.
How about you? Do you view your blog as a business? Are you for it or against it? Either way, if you would like to learn more about Vanessa’s program and how you can monetize your blog, click on the button below (or on my sidebar).
I think it's a fantastic idea. More power to anyone who can turn something they love into something that earns money!
This is a tough one. I question like you – would it make it as fun if you felt so obligated to always do it? Then again, if you're doing it almost every day anyway…
Your blog could DEFINITELY make money. It is unique and fun and full of all the stuff people are interested in. Go for it!
If anyone can show how to make money blogging it's Vanessa. She's amazing and definitely has a user-friendly approach to teaching you how to do so. Perhaps some day I'll make that leap!
You are so easy to love that I can see you making money with your blog. Good luck!
I think it is great for some people. Not for me though. I feel like I would have to change who I am and the things I blog about and that wouldn't be worth it for me.
But I think it is great for others!
I think you should just tell us everything you learn!
I always wondered if it's possible to make money without loading your blog down with a bunch of ads/giveaways/endorsements. Those aren't my favorite blogs and I always feel like I'm getting "sold". I think it would be great if Pottery Barn or Dyson Vacuum or Target or Google would pay me $10,000 a month just because I have mentioned their names and inadvertently endorsed their products by talking so much about them. I dream on….
My plan is to somehow morph my blog into a way to make money. It may be from the blog directly or a byproduct of the blog, like a book. One thing I'm still very hesitant on is getting paid to review a product. I just don't know the ethics behind it.
i'm in. cuz i would TOTALLY sell out. but that's cuz i heart $$$.
going over NOW.
okay, just ordered the cd and plopped down my fourninetyfive and now i'm ready to make millions.
perhaps billions?
