Ep #103: Have you read The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss? It talks about escaping 9 to 5 work and being able to live anywhere with the laptop. Many people succeed in that quest.
In this episode, Alex Nerney shares how to make your first six figures blogging.
We’ll cover what to start with if you want to make money blogging, how to grow your blog fast, and then how to monetize it.
Alex is the founder of Create and Go, an online blog that teaches others how to start a blog and eventually make money blogging.
Alex and his co-founder Lauren quit their jobs, sold almost everything they owned, and went all-in blogging. Within their first year, they made $103,000 blogging. By year three, they are currently making over $100,000 per month online!
