Blogging is a junction where only few can resist and carry on. The ones who do that are known to be ProBloggers and to be frank not many have been able to achieve that status. Making a career out of blogging has been in minds of many but executed by little, not because they dint want to! Rather couldn’t find a way to fit in. In this article I will focus on 5 things which you really need to make it count and take blogging as your career.
1. Learn to be patient
I hear many of them saying blogs run by luck and not everyone has that luck. I seriously oppose that, I have not seen one quality blog that has not been successful in this arena. Only those who lack the will power to withstand their blog end up really wasting their time trying it. Patience is one thing which must be inbuilt in a blogger. Blogs don’t become a massive hit in days but a little constant effort can. Never fix short term goals but longer ones. If you opt for short term then do mind keeping it simple and lower result based goal. This will make you happier when you actually see it succeed.
2. Build Quality Blogs
When you are going to pickup blogging as a career then there is no way that you can succeed without having a quality blog. A blogger always becomes famous with his blog not much with his writing skills on other networks. Blog is the medium through which you can expand yourself as an entrepreneur in the blogging field. Always concentrate on getting the best out there on your blog rather than just another regular article. Do this till you get a decent amount of people driving in regularly to your blog because more quality articles will interest people to look forward for more .
3. Target Sources of Income
Advertising is not the only source of income that a blogger can earn from. When you decide to get a living from your blog then certainly ads alone will not be sufficient. Affiliate marketing can be a great option, if it clicks then I am sure that you need not worry about income at all. Paid Reviews and Freelancing is one of the others option which you can add to your blogging which will fetch you more.
4. Networking
Not only is getting a network of people important for the growth of your blog but for your professional career as well. Interact with people and get along with them. Bloggers generally are good by heart and are always ready to help anyone/everyone. They can help you get lots of freelancing projects or projects for your blog which will help you earn higher.
5. Dedication Towards Blogging
This might look stupid but is very essential. Trying to make a career in blogging, then you can’t deviate of the line which you are supposed to be. Make a working plan, set timings for every work that you will need to do on a daily basis. Make a hard choice of leaving some unwanted plans for blogging which will increase you will power to withstand. Proper planning will always bring success and go by it.

Nice post and all points are important in blogging
Hi Pradeep,
Can I know how much can i expect from finance blogs, i mean 2$ or 3$ per 1000 impressions.. keeping in view I will get around 15% from US AND UK , I expect a general idea though it depends on a lot of factors
Of course no doubt in that we can make much better career in Blogging than a job but we shouldn't forget this thing also beside that we will not get success early in this field we need to maintain many things for this field which is mentioned very well in this post like we should have enough quality to writing a blog and good networking also for that .
From my point of view we should start blogging as a part time job when we feel very confident yes now i can do easily and we are getting good response from blog post then we should give full time in blogging for better career, It can be prove good source of earn the money.
In fact, advertising is one of the best directions to earn money on the blog. At the time, blogging is one of the easy task and can gather valuable info on here. And, its really good post on here 🙂
I strongly agree with the points especially the first one. Patience is really needed to be a successful blogger. Success don't come in just one day effort. Great motivations 🙂
Thanks for your kind words Alan.
