Income School Project 24 Review From A Current Student
My intro to blogging
I started this blog in the end of December 2020. The main reason I started this blog was to make money because my income as a freelance writer was always up and down. I needed a reliable source of income that would eventually pay for my living expenses.
Although I love to blog and share what I learn while building a business, if my efforts are not generating revenue, my time is best spent elsewhere.
I asked myself why do the people I write for pay me money? There must be some way that they are making more money than they are paying me to write their content.
I did some more research and learned how SEO brings traffic to a website and how that traffic can be monetized to make money. Since I had some downtime with freelance writing, I decided I might as well start a blog and maybe that can replace my income as a freelance writer.
How I came across Income School
While scouring through the rabbit holes of YouTube, I came across several videos from Jim and Ricky from Income School.
I immediately liked their approach because it was realistic. Having built my own freelance writing business, I knew how much work it took before it became my main source of income.
They weren’t promising results, but they’re plan to build a full-time income in 2 years seemed very doable with hard work.
After binging most of their free content over a month or so, I knew the general idea of how to make money from a blog. It’s the following basic process:
- Write a lot of helpful content for a particular audience
- Organic traffic will start coming to your site
- You can monetize that traffic with ads, affiliate links or your own products
This made perfect sense to me because they are saying 1+1=2. There’s very little room for any guesswork, so I automatically trusted their approach.
What made them stand out to me was their timeline. They did not promise results by a given time, but if you followed their approach you can definitely make close to a full-time income online.
This made a lot of sense to me because if I were to teach someone how to be a freelance writer, I can show you the steps but I can’t guarantee the results. My blog is my responsibility. The more I learn and effort I put in, the higher my chances of success.
