Posted by ASWANI
You have been blogging for a while. You have been doing it consistently better than most others. Just like any other blogger, you had a dream to make it one day....yes, get your efforts counted in terms of monetary benefits. You saw it as quite difficult in the beginning and at some stage...you thought it was quite impossible! but still then you never lost your hope. You kept on working like anything.For more related articles: Subscribe to One Stop Blog |

Wonderful post Aswani!! Your really a great blogger, if I make enough money through blogging before I leave my college then surely I will never work for anyone, generating passive income was my aim, but now I want to keep growing my business and try to be popular.

Vishal...you are just 13 now and I tell you if you keep going like this, you will surely make it to the top one day. You have been writing wonderfully well, everything useful for the fellow bloggers. Keep it up and thanks for your kind words :)

Hi Aswani, Very interesting and thought provoking post.
Fortunately for me, I don't need to make the decision of leaving my 9-5 job. I've paid my dues by working full time for over 40 years and now I'm retired. Now I'm able to blog without any pressure and that makes it very enjoyable...even a little profitable at times. ;)
For those who want to make a career as a blogger, it can be done but it's extremely difficult. There are less than 5% that make any significant income as bloggers. I'm not saying it can't be done but it takes loads of hard work, the proper mindset, persistence, patience and the ability to press on when the going gets tough.
I think you have what it takes so never give up. Do it part time until you reach a level of consistent income that you are comfortable with. Then you can tell your boss to take the job and #&*^@$ :-D
To your great and ongoing success!!

Awesome post Aswani :) to take blogging as career you need to be persistent and stick to your plans and i agree to what Robert has said. I myself have thought a lot of times to quit blogging.
If you want a career in blogging then you need to have an attitude of NEVER GIVE UP.
Your post will b quite useful to newbies in blogging.Thanks for sharing.
June 2, 2010 10:33 AM
Thanks for appreciating. Yes, it is never too late anyways..blogging can be a very good career option provided we have met the prerequisites ;)

Awesome Aswani as usual! Here's my answer to your question:
1. Can blogging really be a better career choice ? Yes, if you work on daily basis.
2. Blogging can be a great source of passive income but is it big enough to make me think it as a great career opportunity ? Yes, if you build multiple blogs, on different profitable niches.
3. Can blogging give me consistent results with the income generated online? Yes, a lot of blogger like Jhon Chow, Darren Rows are the real proof that that is possible.
4. Can blogging give me a growth in my life? The better improvement in your life is that blogging give you the freedom.
5. Is it necessary to be a full time blogger to reap the financial benefits ? If you want to make money quickly my answer is yes.
6. Professional Blogging or Personal Blogging - Can I do it with anyone ? In my view, you can make money with both.
Have a nice day my best friend

Get real bro' & stick to your" 9 to 5" routine. That's the advice i would like to give to young people. As you move on in life, you've got bills and more bills to pay and maybe a few mouths to feed. I'm in complete agreement with Robert above. And if you still have some bit of time to spare, then you may engage yourself in blogging for money or whatever you call it....as a secondary income on a part time basis. But if money is not the issue since you may be in line to inherit somebody's millions, then just don't turn up in yr usual "9 to 5" office and just blog yourself away.....i'm almost thinking of embarking upon that journey myself but then again i haven't heard anything about my inheritance as yet....so it's blogging on a pastime basis only for me...
June 2, 2010 10:21 PM
Yes bro..9 to 5..I think I am doing better with it though it is getting very boring these days :(
Blogging is where I find myself more committed but then its true that what we enjoy may not always be profiting as compared to what we are sure to get from a routine job. Exceptions do prevail *DONT_KNOW*

never did consider blogging as a career and thus have not thought of it as a choice. I fortunately do not have a 9 - 5 job as I manage my own business and this pretty much gives me the flexibility I need. In my opinion, unless you are really in to blogging for money, I seriously believe that you should make this as an EXTRA form of earning income and not replace it with your day job (if you have one, lol). Great post Aswani

Thanks bro for your great advice. Yes, you are right. Blogging does not look like making a good career option. Instead it should be used for making some extra income online. 9 to 5...hmmm...I must stick with it ;)

nice post
you touch the heart of blogging.
June 4, 2010 12:24 AM
SM...many thanks friend :)
June 5, 2010 6:58 AM
Great set of questions. In the beginning of my blogging I too ask myself similar question but in my case I have to do this as I don't have much option. You know when you don't have much option, you will do something better. I'm trying to do same, trying to be a better blogger everyday.
June 5, 2010 8:44 AM
Thanks Arafat. Glad to see you here. Ok, its good that you are doing well with it. Keep it up. All the best :)
June 5, 2010 2:40 PM
Hey Ashwani, Awesome post. you provided all the important question which each blogger always think before stepping to blogging career. I guess with proper planning, passion and smart work is most important points to all your questions.
" Nothing is impossible in Blogging". :)
June 5, 2010 3:01 PM
Whiztechy...glad to see you here. And this is your first visit. Thanks so much. hmm...I agree with you :)
June 7, 2010 9:02 PM
Right now, I'm still a college student, but I always put in my mind that I still need to blog to make some money online, and to meet new friends. :)
June 7, 2010 9:33 PM
You will surely...thanks so much for the visit..Daniel. Have a nice day :)
June 9, 2010 12:05 AM
These are some serious question Aswani blogging can become a career choice if you have got the will the determination and commitment to do it.
June 9, 2010 8:47 AM
