Giving up the day Job?
To become a blogger?
I’d love to! Sit at home all day and blog, blog, blog! I do read problogger.net occasionally but more often than not don’t find the time! So when Bes posted “What is a professional Blogger?” I was intrigued!
I’d classify pro-blogging as earning enough to give up the day job, as in I can do it as a profession – but Bes puts some interesting spins on that,
- Traffic
If it’s based on traffic I don’t stand a chance, I haven’t got a clue how many people read my rantings, but it’s not many! - RSS Subscribers
I think I’ve got a few when I look at my stats, but I’m not really sure – is there anyone out there? - Number of posts and posting frequency
There’s loads of posts on here, not all on-topic, not all relevant, it’s my whiteboard, where I dump my thoughts, make a note of a website or have a rant. I could have multiple niche blogs for all the different topics I discuss – but it would probably kill me to update them all and my number of posts would definitely go down! - Comments
Again, a few people comment – I’m not even sure if they read my ramblings regularly or have just picked up on the odd post. - Money
That’s the one, and I make nothing (or next to nothing!) from this blog. I want a redesign done that is both easy on the eye but allows me to integrate some advertising – any volunteers?
Conclusion, I’m probably not a professional blogger – nor am I likely to become one in the near future. I am however happy with my rants and ramblings and would occasionally like to know if there’s “anybody out there?”
