One question I receive over and over again is exactly what I’ve done to build a successful blog.
I love sharing this information, but I also want to remind you before we begin that everyone has a different starting place and path to success. Plus, we all have different versions of what success means to us.
Starting a blog, no matter what direction you want to take it, is a lot of hard work! Still, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.
I started Making Sense of Cents entirely as a hobby, and I had no idea that blogs could make money or that this could turn into my full-time job. I actually didn’t even understand what a blog was or how it worked.
Eventually, I learned that you could make money blogging, and because it sounded like a fun way to make extra money, I tried my hardest to make it happen.
The more time I spent on my blog, the more I wanted to pursue making money with it. But honestly, I never had plans of it turning into my full-time career.
When I started, I was simply looking for something to help me pay off my student loans and stop living paycheck to paycheck.
I came to realize that blogging was exactly what I wanted to do with my life and that it was possible for me to make a full-time income from it.
