ProBlogger started as a fairly personal blog about my journey to make a living from blogging back in 2004, and since that time it’s grown far beyond even my wildest expectations. Since 2004 we’ve published almost 8000 blog posts, but have grown ProBlogger to include an annual event, a podcast, a book, a series of eBooks, and a Job Board.

It took me two years of blogging to get to my income goal ($36,000 USD/year) where I could focus on blogging full time (in 2004). To meet your monthly income goal you’d need to publish about eight sponsored posts per month, which may be more than you’re comfortable with. Be specific. Saying you want to be a full-time blogger is great.
