When I started out as a rookie blogger, I couldn’t see how one could possibly earn an income on the Internet. Because in the first six months, only a handful of people ever read my posts on Goodlife Zen, and I only earned a few cents.
And it didn’t get much better after Leo Babauta gave me half his blog, Write to Done: I still only earned about one dollar a month. People used to laugh at me because I put so much effort into something that seemed so unrewarding.
But they’ve stopped laughing. Now they want to know how to do it too…
In the last three years, I’ve created a six-figure business on the back of my blogs.
The good news is that what I’ve done can be replicated by you. In fact, quite a few of our A-List Blogging students have replicated what we’ve done and are now earning a good living from their blogs. Bloggers like Steve Aitchison, Jules Clancy, Carol Tice and Scott Dinsmore – just to name a few.

If you want to achieve an income from your blog, you need a strong foundation.

But remember, nothing happens without momentum. Creating momentum means creating buzz. It means getting people inspired, excited and ready to take action. There are some great strategies to build momentum. It’s not rocket science, but it does take detailed knowledge to get support, leverage and momentum all working together in the right way and at the right time.
When you do, it’s amazing what you can achieve – and what you can earn through your blog. It can truly turn your blog into a cash machine.
