041 - 11 Ways Blogging Can Change Your Life and Earn You a Living

A lot of you might be wondering... How can blogging change your life?
I've got a real treat for you in this episode of Untapped because I'll be sharing 11 Ways Blogging Can Change Your Life and Earn You a Living!
Eleven years ago, almost to the month, I started my very first blog.
It was 2008 and I hadn’t long been in Vancouver, Canada, when I figured I wanted a better way than a group email, to share my massive life changes and new journey with my friends and family.
I signed up for a free Bloggr account via Google and started posting.
Even though I had no idea what I was doing at the time, writing had always came easily to me.
So, it felt natural to turn my creative passion into a possible revenue source.
I had a fair bit of time on my hands as I’d quit my corporate job in London, taken off to Canada to play World Championship Ultimate Frisbee, and now was figuring out what to do with my life...hoping that starting a business was something I could actually figure out.
Little did I know this would be a love affair that would continue well past any long term relationships I’ve had to date.
Nor did I know that it would allow me to launch my first and second business, and earn me a full-time income in just a few years!
To celebrate, I felt the need to share the 11 lessons I've learned from blogging and how they've helped me get paid to be ME.
Today, I'm still blogging - as you can obviously see from this blog post ;) - and I know that I'll continue this type of content for years to come.
I hope you learn a lot from this episode, and I hope that these 11 lessons can help you build your very own business just from blogging.
Blogging can be a truly great way to create a thriving online business, so you'll definitely want to tune in to the full episode for all the details.
So, whether you're on your way somewhere, working out, or just chilling out at home, get ready for a whole lot of goodness.
