I was honored to be mentioned as an inspiration by Helena van der Merwe in her article for FeedFront. She attended Affiliate Summit East 2015 where I was a panelist along with Zac Johnson, John Chow, and Syed Balkhi. We each shared our own journeys about how we became six-figure bloggers as she does in this article. In fact, her own evolutionary tale was similar to my own in building up a following through relevant content.
Starting with her own areas of interest, Helena began to inspire her readers through her own enthusiasm for technology, renewable energy, entrepreneurship and more. In just 2 1/2 years, she went from zero to 14,000 global monthly readers. Using the principles of affiliate marketing, she has been able to monetize her interests in these areas through her blog. She is proof, just like myself and the others on the panel, that anyone c an generate revenue online if they focus on offering their audiences the information they are seeking.
In addition to making money, blogging offers an empowering career where you can work for yourself and enjoy the flexibility of owning your own business.
