you want to start a blog but you're not
really sure that it's actually going to
make money right well I definitely think
that it can and it doesn't take years to
cut your first check if you have the
right strategies in place I'm Alison
Lindstrom the unofficial nerd for driven
girl bosses and today I'm going to be
talking about all of the main factors
that really went into me earning my
first $200 blogging coming up right now
http://www.seoservicesdelhi.co.in/
so if you're new here you should
probably know that I am a full-time
blogger that's how I make my money I
started my blog called frugal and
prairie calm now it's called Alison
Lindstrom calm but I started it back in
March of 2015 and in June of 2015 I
earned two hundred and thirty six
dollars and 57 cents it's rather small
when you think of depending on that kind
of income but I was very blessed and I
worked really really hard and I was able
to turn that 236 dollars into a
full-time income by the time March of
2016 rolled around so yes you can
totally make a full-time income from
blogging no it's not easy and it's not
an overnight success it doesn't happen
quickly unless you're extremely lucky or
you've got some really impressive
connections now really quick for
transparency sake I do want to say that
I earned that 236 in June of 2015
Expand
through sponsorships and ad revenue
now ad companies and sponsorship
companies I mean depending on who you're
connecting with who you're working with
they pay out on different cycles so
sometimes they pay out in 30 days 45
days 60 days I mean it really just
depends so I just wanted to clarify that
and be very transparent and say that I
earned that 236 in June of 2015
I didn't deposit that money in my
account in June of 2015 so before I get
into my details here you know I just
want to say have a back-up plan if you
have financial obligations this
definitely didn't happen overnight for
me and before I worked on just my blog
and selling courses and things like that
I worked as a virtual assistant in a
freelancer that's how I made my income
before I was able to finally get my blog
up to a point to where I could you know
shift directions that kind of
change careers or just shift my career
if you will so definitely have a back-up
plan okay let's get into the details now
there were a lot of factors that went
into that first check but here are the
main ones that I think really made a
difference key factor number one I
prepared my mindset for business do not
under any circumstances let anyone make
you feel guilty for having money on the
line and wanting to make a profit from
your blog if that's not the path for
them or if that's you know doesn't feel
right for them just whatever they're
playing a different ball game than
you're playing make sure that you have
the mindset of a businesswoman so a you
would like to make a profit and B you
really want to provide some sort of
value in some way so you're still
contributing to the world and you know
maybe inspiring people or enriching
their day in some way but you also want
to make sure that the time that you
invest is profitable and there's nothing
wrong with that k factor number two
determined my main niche and then I
listened to my audience and when I
started blogging I think I wrote about
five or six different categories it was
a little crazy okay I'm not gonna lie to
you but I was still kind of like
figuring myself out but I listened to my
audience so I got questions about
personal finance but brother did I get
