taking up the challenge
When I started blogging, I did it simply because I typed faster than I did writing (and because my typewriting is more legible than my handwriting). If you told me three years ago that I'd be making money out of blogging, I'd probably laugh at you and say "Yeah, right! I wish."
Actually, I think I did that when I did a quiz a couple of years ago and got this result:
Yeah. I think I pretty much laughed at the screen, even as I posted it in my blog.
Ha. Lookit. I am making money out of blogging now! Yeyness. I'm not making enough to say that I do it for a living, but it does add a little extra to my wallet. I've been reading on blogging and problogging and SEO for a couple of months now, trying to see how I can shift my blogging to pro.
One of the blogs I've been following is Just Make Money Online by Shai Coggins, and, a couple of days ago, I saw an old post on there about the $100 challenge. Shai challenges bloggers (especially those who aren't making much) to make at least $100 by the end of the year, starting at $0 from January 2007. Yeah, well, I didn't even begin to try to make money online until March 2007. I SO qualified for this.
I think it's a nice challenge, since it applies to a multitude of people. Newbies to making money online (blogging or not) are encouraged to try to venture into it, and those already making money online can be challenged to make even more money. Shai keeps and posts a list of participants and their blogs, so we can all visit the participants' blogs and see how they're doing. Since this isn't a contest or anything, we can share experiences freely, and give tips and what-not-to-dos to other people. Cool, eh?
If you're like me three years ago, who thought that making money online wasn't for me, then I encourage you: take up the $100 challenge, just for fun. Who knows, maybe you've got an online entrepreneur in you and you just didn't know it!

 You got 8/8 correct! You know so much about blogging, you should blog for a living. |
