My Blogs Still Make Money for Me, Even While I’m Sleeping

I quit blogging on a regular basis more than a year ago, and you know what, my blogs still make money day in and day out.  In fact, this is the first actual blog post that I have written in months.  If you’re a blogger, then you probably well know that life can get hectic and knock you off your blogging path.  That’s okay!  If you set it up correctly, your blog will still continue to work for you around the clock.

I am so very thankful that I took the time to learn how to blog and will never regret the hundreds upon hundreds of hours that I spent researching and writing content to contribute to my sites.  Not to mention all of the other “little” things that bloggers can become engrossed in to improve their site in general.  Even though I have not blogged regularly for more than a year, my blogs still continue to make money day in and day out.

Unlike my daily schedule, my blogs never sleep.  And unlike my ability to only earn income between the hours of 9-5, Monday-Friday, my blogs continue to work for me around the clock, seven days a week.  Between the hours of when I finally put my head on the pillow at night and the time that I throw my alarm clock at the wall in the morning, my blogs continue to bring in a few dollars here, and a few dollars there.

Now, I am not going to be one of those bloggers who exaggerate my online earnings.  When I was blogging on a daily basis, of course, my blogs earned more.  Now that I have stepped back and began other professional endeavors, earnings have declined.  But you know what, they at least make a car payment each month.  I have not blogged regularly for more than a year, and I still receive a steady paycheck.  It might not break the bank, but that is what you call a residual income.  Even during times that I am not contributing a single amount of effort to my blogs, they are still working for me.

My point here is this: Blogging is work.  There are no ifs, ands, or buts.  But it is totally worth it.  You might not see it now, but one day when your life gets busy, and you take a step back, you’ll be thankful for an income stream that comes in each month with absolutely no effort on your part.  It is like free money that works around the clock.  You can’t beat it my friends.
