So what exactly is a blog? Chances are you’ve probably already been reading other people’s blogs without even knowing. Ever search anything on Pinterest? Whether you looked up food recipes, ways to save money, or tips to buy a house, chances are Pinterest sent you straight to someone’s blog. This is something I didn’t even realize as an avid Pinterest user myself. I was just searching for ways to make money online one day when I stumbled across people stating they make thousands a month from a blog!… umm what?! I needed to know more…
Most likely the majority of posts you’re seeing when you search the phrase, starting a blog, are blog articles with catchy headlines of ‘How my blog makes 10K a month after only three months!’. In reality, if you’re starting from the beginning with no knowledge like I did, it’ll take you a few months just to figure out how to get everything created and set up for your blog…
What is a niche? You’ve decided to start a blog, congrats! Now just what exactly do you write about?… You might have multiple ideas in your head currently, which is awesome!

I researched online jobs that would allow me to work fully from home. I stumbled through the usual online surveys, virtual assistant, transcriptionist etc. when I came across an article about how bloggers were actually making great money! Never knew that was a thing, but the more I researched this blogging idea the more I realized that if just one other person could do it, so could I. If you’ve been curious about starting a blog then read on, this is for you…
