I routinely make $3K/mo from my technical blogs, and I post infrequently, dedicating a couple of hours a week to them. I'm writing a book to teach people how to do the same (http://technicalblogging.com http://technicalblogging.com). I'm not saying that making $3K from blogging is easy, but it can definitely be done if you are serious about it. And if we are in the realm of full time writing done by a professional journalist (as per the original article) it's not that hard. You just need a solid idea, plan, and execution.
- Mz 15y agoThank you. I am looking at your blog, but I am not a technical person. I have other strengths. Still, it's a resource and I appreciate it.
- w1ntermute 15y agoWhat's your primary revenue stream?
- acangiano 15y agoAffiliate offers. Sponsorships. Ads. In that order.
- w1ntermute 15y agoDid you have preexisting contacts who were able to send affiliate offers and sponsorships in your direction, or did you have to build up your reputation from scratch when you started blogging? If the latter, how did you do this? What mediums did you primarmily rely on (email, Facebook, Twitter) and how long did it take for you to hit pay dirt? I can imagine it's not easy getting the attention of good sponsors. Was it one of those things were you were holding for a lucky break, or did you have a gradual buildup to success?
