I'm almost done building my blog platform, but I'm curious, how many of you are making substantial income from your blogs? If you aren't now, do you expect to soon?

I do plan on moving to a self-hosted, wordpress powered blog, with separate English and French tabs and RSS feeds (like this girl did) - I just need to figure out how to do all that!

I'd love to see your work - that particular theme you mention, and what else you've done.
He he! I've done lots of things...that's what I do - design

I will send you the link in a pm

Kale the way I see it, most people wont be making a lot for a long time. If you're serious about making money online, that you will have to practice patience. Well that's what I have learnt anyway CAn you be patient and handle disappointment time and time again?

Duality Nature

I feel like blogs are a great way to practice self development. My blog is mostly about duality in nature or the world around us

My goal is to continually write articles and improve as much as possible. I also applied for IT classes as I have become very interested in that as a result of attempting to blog. It's not and it hasn't been easy, but I am steadily making improvements I feel.

Thnx

Hello Gene,

I would be happy to send you a link , but the theme is probably more suited to designers (graphic, web, crafters etc). It's not that web 2.0 or 3.0 business looking website that a lot of internet marketing, personal dev websites are about.

However, it would be good to get a range of people's opinion on the design
So will just pm you now

You need a different theme too!

I don't know what it is, but if the blog is just a old blogger theme I can't look at it, I switch off But other people might have different opinions to mine.

And my thoughts are not always right

The thing is I have seen your replies on SP and I know your quite articulate, so I am sure I would like the blog if I read it.

Oh and that rotating image on the top header is way to distracting for me...not good for people with ADD

Hey

I have just started writing for a blog oddly enough! A friend and I have set up our niche at Anti-Heroes Incorporated. Very simply put, it is a blog about social arts (not just PUA stuff, as I said the site is in its infancy, lots of content to come!), self improvement and whatever we find interesting. It's not meant to be a money-maker right now, more of an outlet for my writings on how to be a social chap amongst other things. Anyone with similar content who fancies trading links drop me a line!

Hello.

Many blogs, some from long ago not updated and many new ones and many ones still going.

I started Vagabondinsider.com to write about my journey. The blog focuses on personal development, personal freedom, and so much more. I resigned my job and decided to travel the world. I'm still in the beginning process of the traveling.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, look forward to seeing yours.

Dividend Monk- Building Wealth through Diligence

My site is about building wealth, and specifically focuses on teaching people about investing in dividend-paying companies. I will be branching out and talking about saving and simplifying as well.

From what I've noticed, young people are especially prone to not investing or saving since they want to spend money now. The absolute most important thing in terms of building wealth is compounding over time. By starting to invest in their 20s, people can really put away some serious wealth and retire early. I seek to make it easy for people to learn how to do this so that they can develop wealth and passive income streams, and these tips work for people of any age.

-peace

Spiritual Adventures

It's a completely personal blog/journal dealing with my spiritual journey. I started it because I wanted a place to journal, and I wanted to do it "in public" for the purpose of accountability and because when I write in a private journal I tend to just jot down notes rather than really take the time to form my thoughts into something coherent and readable. Doing the latter helps me to understand stuff, sometimes.

I've considered doing a self-hosted Wordpress or Movable Type version, but that's not something that's likely to happen any time in the near future, as it's fairly work intensive and I have other stuff to spend my time and energy on.

I did the graphics, but the design is just the standard Blogspot default, again because I didn't have the inclination to work up a completely new design from scratch.

On Ellie's recommendations, I did some serious upgrading to my blog. I now run on Wordpress, with a custom theme (thanks girl!) and a great bilingual app (could never get this one right on Blogger). Read about my life in Seoul: aelle, around the world

Hi all!

My blog is The Green Diva, and it is turning 1 next month! I actually quit my job two weeks ago to finally the life I want. It has been a bit scary but mostly exciting and liberating. I do need to get my act together and monetise the site properly but any advice from seasoned bloggers is appreciated.

The blog is basically about sharing information about how to be healthy, beautiful, and how to make a genuine contribution to reducing our negative impact on our planet.

Default Since finding SBI from Steve in 08 I have been working

I have been reading Steve's blog since 05ish.
In 2008 he started talking about Site Build It and how it would allow anyone to start a site like his. Even if they don't have the technical knowledge.
Since I tried out the product I loved it.

Anyways two years later I have my own website called ADHD Action.
It chronicles the past 25 years of my life dealing with ADHD.

I plan on doing a website about skateboard too.
That will be waaaaaay more fun and I can't wait to get started on it!

Thanks Steve for making it possible.
