As always, I read successful blogger’s blogs. After all, if they are making a full time income from their blog then they must be doing something right. Much of this post’s content was found on Darren Rowse’s blog, Problogger.

Blogging is hard work, and will take a lot of time to generate any significant income. However, take a look at some of the information Darren has written about.

What would happen if your blog that is earning $1 per day were to increase its daily earnings by 100% each month for a year? How much would you be earning this time next year?

• After 1 month it would be earning $2 per day…
• After 2 months it would be earning $4 per day…
• After 3 months it would be earning $8 per day…
• After 4 months it would be earning $16 per day…
• After 5 months it would be earning $32 per day…

If the earnings are to stay steady, things are beginning to look good. A decent income so far, but by all means, nothing that you could live off of comfortably. Now, take a look at these next figures:

• After 12 months it would be earning $4096 per day…

To me, those numbers are extremely enlightening, and make me want to work hard at achieving something so large. Even if I do not reach those levels, if I can make a substantial income online while helping people with the information they need to do the same, I will feel as though I have succeeded. Thanks to Darren Rowse for providing such an exercise and making me think about what could happen in the future.
