Next Year, I’ll Make $30,000….Blogging

Blogging · December 22, 2011

As I’ve mentioned several times before, I got into blogging for a number of reasons. For one – I could share my knowledge of personal finance and educate people who are willing to learn. Two – I would become more accountable with my own finances because I would be constantly reading and writing about the topic. And three – as a way to vent. Never did I ever get into blogging for the money – nor should you – because the moment you start blogging solely for income, it loses its fun.

Having said that – next year I’m going to make $30,000 blogging. That may be a little difficult to grasp as a reader, and quite honestly, it’s extremely difficult to say as a writer. How could a muttonhead like myself generate that kind of moolah from a side job?

The answer is easy – because I want to.

You Down With OMB? – Yea You Know Me

You can follow my journey at Online Money Bloggers – where I (and each participant) will lay out a game plan to achieve this far-fetched feat. I’ll also continue to write about The Business of Blogging to give you an open look how Funancials operates.

While we’re being open, I have something to confess.

I didn’t get into blogging for the reasons listed above. I got into blogging for the same reason Ellen DeGeneres got into acting.

I did it for the chicks.

Important Disclosure

I'm a big believer in transparency. As such, you should know that I make money from this blog. Weird, I know. The way I make money is simple: I occasionally link to products and companies that I believe provide tremendous value. If you choose to sign up, I may receive a small payout. This payout comes at no additional cost to you and, trust me, it's small. I'm in no position to quit my day job. Please do not spend any money on these products unless you feel you need them or that they will help you achieve your goals.
