Why Blog Dollars?

I started my first blog about 3 years ago. It was a personal blog and eventually, life happened and I closed it down. At this time, I maintain several blogs. Two are related to my business and one to my hobby farm.
I discovered the income potential of blogging almost by accident. In trying to create a better blog, I came across several that were touting six figure incomes from their blogs. Needless to say, it got my attention.
So I am an average everyday kind of person, and this is an experiment to combine all the things I have learned and see if “Jane Blow” can make money at a blog. In reading various blogs, I have noticed that there are few if any “six figure” women bloggers. I am not sure if that is really true or not. There are certainly some popular and well written blogs by women but I don’t see any of them touting their income. One would assume they have some income, maybe they just don’t shout about it.
My other blogs bring in some income but certainly not enough to feed the kids every month but they are aimed at a very small local audience and I really never expected them to earn anything. I am going to be using my other blogs as case studies as they are all still in the infant stage with under 20 subscribers. I made a slew of mistakes with them and I learned a lot doing it.
I don’t expect to make a six figure income from this blog or any of the others but maybe it will help some other blogger not make the same mistakes I did. This blog will be the hub that ties the other’s together and documents their progress. I don’t think that most of us start blogging expecting a full time income but some do. Heck, I’d just like to make enough to offset my satellite internet bill.
I will be documenting what I learn along the way, passing on links, looking in depth at what works and what doesn’t as well as sharing my mistakes. And I am sure that I will make a few more before I get it down to a science or throw my hands up in frustration and go back to blogging just because I feel like it.
