Blogging is one of my favorite forms of passive income. I make money just for people reading my articles from ads, so if you’re reading this article, thank you :-).

I can assure you, I did not write this article today and yet it’s making me money.

When you get a nice amount of people reading your articles it brings in a nice income. Here’s a screenshot of my earnings from the other day.

You DO NOT need to be an excellent writer to become a blogger, you just write like you talk.

I’m definitely not and I have my lovely mom review my articles before I post just to have a second pair of eyes.

I spent a lot of time working on my blog the first year with a full-time job, busy toddler and husband. Now I work VERY part time and I’m making more money than when I was at my corporate job (I was able to leave my job!).
