I very much wish to get adsense ads onto my blogspot blog. That is my short term goal. In order to do that, to accomplish that goal, I need to get one of my blogger blogs approved for adsense. So in a sense that is what I'm trying to do right now. They say you need large goals to keep you focused towards something, and you also need smaller, actionable goals that you can reasonably achieve in the near future so that you don't get overwhelmed and quit because you think you'll never get there. So my short term goal is to get adsense ads to show up on my blogspot blogs.
My long term, overall goal however is to earn enough money through adsense to be able to quit my job. I don't make a lot at my current job, just slightly more than what my bills are, so I don't get very far ahead each month. I don't have much money to save after paying bills. It is hard to earn more with a normal job because you get paid for each hour that you work, and once that hour is gone you have finished earning from it and you can never get any more benefit from it. With adsense publishing I can spend that hour writing a post that will get traffic and potential clicks and revenue for forever. I put my heart and soul into a post with one amount of time, and it theoretically has unlimited earning potential. That is an awesome way to make money! I have the topics inside me, I have the expertise and knowledge. I have the platform (blogger/blogspot) to get my ideas out there. Now I just need the adsense to provide the income I desire.
Most of my posts, by far, are about how to get approved for adsense, but this post is all about my hopes and dreams for what will happen once I am adsense approved. I will quit my job when I make a steady average of $100 per day, which comes out to about $3000 per month, which is a little more than I make at my current job. Until I quit my job I will only be able to write for my blogs with my free time from about 6 pm until 11 pm or later depending on how I feel each night. I'll also be able to use weekends. Once I quit my job though I'll be able to write for my blogs full time, creating new pieces of content, each of which will continue to bring me income for life. It will grow exponentially! I will be able to spend the time I use at work each day (8 am-5 pm) towards my true passion, which is blogging.
I love blogging so much because I get to talk about whatever I want all day, and I don't have to do it face to face, which means that I can reach far more people than I personally could in real life. I also love that it gives me the opportunity to learn so much each day, because in order to provide useful, high quality content, I will always have to do research on various topics. In a typical job you learn your task and get pretty good at it, and then you basically stop growing, you just plateau. There would be little added benefit to learning for a typical job, you wouldn't necessarily be earning any more just because you learned more. With blogging I would be earning more for learning more, because for everything I learn I can write additional articles and posts and help reach more people. Not just the people I reach through the search engine results pages, but also from people who find my blogs by chance and then return over and over, to become regular readers, just because I have great information to share!
I also love that to blog you don't actually have to be an expert. If you were to write a book about a topic, you'd have to be quite the known expert in order to be published. With blogging you only need to know more than your audience, and being there are BILLIONS of people on this planet, and millions of people using the internet, chances are pretty good that on any given topic I choose to tackle, I'll know more than SOMEBODY out there. That's not to say I'm trying to give information that is lacking or useless posts that are no good, but even with information that isn't the best in the world you can still help people find what they are looking for. I may provide a particular piece of information that someone out there is looking for specifically and I phrased it in a way that isn't super common and because I took the time to put the information out there in my own words, that person gets access to the information they were looking for. Blogging helps the blogger financially, and it also helps the world!
Blogging is also a great way for me to track my own progress in my education on the different topics I endeavor. Each time I learn something and share it through my blogs, I am saving that reminder for myself forever. I can always return to my posts to see all the things I've experienced or learned. That is amazing!
I am excited to blog because I'll be helping people, who just a short while ago could have been me searching for the exact same information, and also because I am helping myself to earn a greater income and live a more relaxed lifestyle and constantly growing in my self run education.
I don't know if my excitement and enthusiasm truly comes through in this text, but if I can get my adsense account approved and I can make an honest income helping, really helping people I would consider myself a winner and a success. Even if I had gone to college to become a professional anything and I was able to serve people with my skills, I wouldn't consider myself as successful as if I get this blogging thing to work out. Early in my life I decided that I'd like to go to school for the rest of my life, never get a job, and just always be learning. This blogging career is that opportunity, that for a long time I didn't think existed and wasn't realistic.
So this post will serve as a reminder to myself of my dedication to this blogging project, and it will hopeful be a motivator for you, the reader, who can do as I've done and hopefully attain the results you desire. The income potential is great. Many people not only make a full time income from blogging, but many become millionaires. It isn't to insane to think you could make a ton of money from blogging when you keep in mind that you can get paid from work you've done in the past in addition to the work you do every day.
Please follow my journey to adsense success by reading this blog and returning for updates as I give them out. And don't forget that this blog can be a great resource for someone with similar goals to mine. Thanks so much for reading!
