When I decided to start a blog about my journey as an online seller, I was first faced with skepticism from my husband that it's going to take years to build a following and start making money.
And in his exact words, 'There are so many people blogging, how are you going to stand out and generate enough traffic to make money?'
Before I even started to blog, I did a little bit of research to see what the earning potential is. To my surprise, there are a lot of blogs out there that I haven't even heard of that are making more money than a doctor or a lawyer on a monthly basis. Learning about these bloggers killing blogging world gave me so much motivation to give it a try.
Maintaining a blog is a hard work and it definitely can become a full time job. But I believe that if you do your research and figure out how to monetize your blog from the beginning, you can succeed like the ones I've listed below.
