As I mention in my About Me section, the reason I have decided to become a professional blogger is to have the option to Work from home. Perhaps the best reason to become a writer is that it allows you the option of working from home. Not having to drive to work daily or be set to a particular schedule, writers can plan their days as they please. Working from home has its many advantages as well as disadvantages but in my opinion the advantages of working from home as a writer far outweigh the disadvantages as long as you are the type of person that can motivate yourself.
This also means you can Be your own boss! Being your own boss is great as you will never have to worry about getting fired or upsetting someone besides yourself ahha. However, again there are advantages and disadvantages to this depending on how organized you are and your ability to budget your money.
If you are reading this and are interested in becoming a writer, you might want to consider starting up a blog. I personally prefer blogger over wordpress because blogger is easier to design and customize the look of your blog. Don't worry, it seems complicated at first but like anything practice makes perfect! I will use this blog to help you and provide tips on how to use blogger since I believe I was born to do this =) Please feel free to post any questions you have about blogger on here!
But back to the making money from home part! Blogger makes it very easy to make money from home by offering Google Adsense. This basically is a program that you sign up for and choose where they place Google Advertisements on your blog. It's also called "Monetizing" your blog. Ofcourse, with the more people going and reading your blog, the better your chances of making money. However, don't get discouraged, its all about being persistent and writing writing writing. The more content, the more chances Google will "crawl" over your blog and the better you will rank in the search engines.
Tomorrow I will talk about ways to promote your blog for free and get more hits that way. But for now it's time to go out and have some fun. Good Night!!
