Wow thanks so much for the kind words! My career isn’t quite as busy as yours, but it is nice to have “something else” to look forward to, to work towards, etc. You have a really great blog going and honestly feels like the counterpart to “Young Adult Money” – we are definitely looking towards the same demographic!

Thanks Andrew! I have been thinking about this post for a while and it’s important for people – especially people who are considering starting a blog – to realize it’s not all about your website’s affiliate and advertising revenue. There is a lot of upside above and beyond that as well.

Thanks Jason! And yes it’s pretty eye opening seeing what sort of social media and content management jobs are out there. The thing is it truly is a TON of work to do social media and/or content marketing right (as I’m sure you are aware) but more and more $ will go towards it and away from advertising.

Hey Syed thanks for your feedback because this was exactly what I was hoping to get across! I personally strongly dislike income posts but I know why people do them – to get people excited to start blogs and sell bluehost commissions. But I want people to think beyond that because if you are going into blogging with stars in your eyes thinking your website is going to make $10k a month you are almost certainly going to be disappointed. I think it’s better to have an open view and think about all the potential upside and how you can leverage your blog to play to your strengths – the money will follow!
