Can a blog really become a work at home job?

Posted Wednesday, April 2, 2008 by momscashblog | 26 Comments so far

Everyday, I get asked if a blog can really make someone enough money to work from home and earn a full or part time living online. The answer is yes, however it may not come as easy as one might think. There is a lot that goes into blogging, such as motivation, good blog content and a willingness to post new information and content a few times a week. With a blog you are mainly aiming to please. Your blog readers become your income. If you want them to come visit your blog, click on your ads, take your advice and come back fore more…than you had better feed them well.
Meaning, you better have a good blog all in all. I never go back to a blog that doesn’t strike my fancy. I am very particular on which blogs I visit often. They obviously have to be a bout a topic I am interested in…They must have good quality posts with information that is NEW and exciting to read…and last but not least, their blog can’t be a “plain Jane” – meaning it must have some character to it! I hate when I go to a blog that is all one color, no graphics or images of any kind and tons of text, text, text! Now heres the deal, a blog is a representation most likely of the face behind it. That is how I see it. A blogger almost expresses who they are with their theme, designs, colors, content and more…So my blog says a lot about me, obviously ; ) I am outgoing, energetic and fun – and I hope that is what my blog design as a whole gives off to my readers. I want them to know this is a blog full of interaction, randomness and uniqueness. Yet, it is a useful blog with quality money making content that is worthwhile.

Anyways, my point is that a blog can become a part of who you are and when you take the time to make it just that – you will most likely succeed as a true blogger. You have what it takes if your blog lasts longer than 3 months…I like to call those first few months “blogging boot camp” because it can be stressful, and it really isn’t that easy getting readers to come to your blog or find you organically. So, if you make it 90 days… you have a good chance of turning your blog into a full or part time job eventually. I have seen people make their blogs become their jobs within a few months (short period of time) and I have also seen many others wait 1-3 years to get to that point. It is a per-person situation, so who really knows just how long it will take to become a work at home blogger that makes their living online?! If you watch my video blog post above you will hear first hand my blogging experience and how it fell into my lap…and I have also included a motivational video from one of the highest paying bloggers online, known as John Chow. I came across a video on John’s YouTube page that I just had to share because it goes hand in hand with this blog post (thanks John) – and I hope you find it as motivating as I did. He is being interviewed by a local news station, and answers all of the questions that people ask me. “Can you make money online with a blog…If so how much…How long have you been blogging …How can one get started in blogging…and so on…”

I hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to visit JohnChow.Com for great money making info as well : )

Oh wow, John’s on BT, that’s pretty impressive! Krysti, I think your use of video really differentiate yourself from the thousands of MMO blogs out there, keep it up!

This is the my first time visiting your blog and I have to say that I love it. It’s very informative.

Very informative. This is one of the best blogs that I have come across.

Well, Krysti, I do everything (pretty much) that you tell people to do as you’re the first “make money” site I went to when I started blogging only about 5 months ago. Want to know a secret, I didn’t know who John Chow was when I started out blogging, guess who told me who he was…YOU!!! Right now my income blogging is around $250/month, but I do other stuff as well to increase that number (surveys, etc). Keep telling us how to make money and we’ll keep doing it, as I want that dollar amount MUCH higher!

Thanks Mommie : ) Well I want to point out your blog anyways. Glad you mentioned it…she has only been blogging 4-5 months and look at her blog now, and look at her Alexa (WOW) – great job! This is how it can happen for you – if you are reading this and “considering” a blog. Try it, I bet you’ll be surprised! Thanks again Mommie!

Hi! I love your site. Very impressive and excellent information. I have a blog (making no money) and was about ready to give up until I came across your site. You have given me the motivation and the resources to continue and, hopefully, eventually really start making a living doing this. I have you bookmarked ;) Thanks so much! :)

I think your the first person that I’ve heard actually make the statement that to be successful blogging you are going to spend more than 8 hours a day. I think that is a definite fact that newbies are never told. People hear that it’s hard work, can take a while, and takes dedication, but it does take a lot of work.

Nice summary. To earn a full time income from a blog you will definitely spend more than 8 hours online per day and you will become frustrated at first, perhaps quitting within 6 months. Thats the norm.

About John Chow, he makes his money by persuading people (intentionally indirectly) that you can make money online like he does. He hints at it being possible but never says “this is how you do it from scratch” exactly. His blog has a high turnover ratio of visitors, almost all of them are always new and awe inspired to click on his links to get started.

The reality is, like John himself said on his blog recently, is that 99% of blogs won’t ever make $100.00. John’s selling the dream, and earning money from every link clicked, but the irony is that he’s making his money from the dreamers so does that mean to succeed online you need to sell the dream of making money to those who are new?

P.S. John hates me, has me banned from his blog. Heck even Shoemoney banned me from shoemoney.com because of a comment I made on John’s blog. None of these people want you to know the truth about blogs and money. They want to continue being the “authority” while selling the dream. I believe in full disclosure.

You won’t be banned here : ) Truth is simple.

I also love John Chow! I only recently learned of him through an article in one of my Entrepreneur magazines. I think I actually found out about EntreCard through his site too… (which reminds me, thank-you for accepting my entrecard Ad request)
By the way, I also signed up with a couple of your affiliate links recently… Thanks for sharing so much good info! I have linked you on my blogroll to make it easier to visit your site… =)
Make it a great week!

Thanks mum! This is one of the best blogs I have ever come across, and I love the integration of video content as well. It is really much more effective than just writing, especially when we get to look at someone as beautiful as you!
