Awesome post.

Its always interesting to hear the back stories of successful people.

The main points I got out of this are
1) Work hard, and focus on few blogs.
2) Blog about things that people want to learn about, like how to blog better, how to make more money, how to take better pictures, how to use twitter better.

Your success is impressive and inspirational.

Thank you for sharing your story. There are times when I get so discouraged. But I love to blog and some how deep inside I feel it will make it some how ,some day. I just have to be persistent. Your article written long time ago, still inspires, inspired some one like me.

Thank you.

Thanks for this post Darren. I have some problems with monetizing my web, but this is very inspiring. I have to say that my web is in the part-time-job status, though, so it is not so bad. It certainly takes time and discipline (the latter being my biggest problem) but it is possible. Thanks for such an inspiring story.

This information was incredibly helpful and seems very reasonable and realistic! Thanks for sharing… I am an early blogger and have wondered about blogging for money… since I would be able to be a “stay at home” and still help my hubbie financially…

As far as I am concerned… I will keep trucking and working and see where this leads me…

Thanks…

I’ve been back at this post about three times over the course of a year. Always an inspiring read Darren.

I’m curious about how the chemistry and potential income of blogging has increased/decreased since the introduction of the likes of FaceBook and Twitter.

Incidentally …I follow you on Twitter.

Thanks for the story, Darren. It’s encouraging–and balanced. Anyone who says up-front that it takes a couple of years or more of hard work isn’t preaching a get-rich-quick scheme! Just launched my blog in Jan and am enjoying it a whole lot more than I expected, so I’m paying attention to stories like yours. Thanks for sharing so thoughtfully. And congrats on your successes. PS: I’m interested in the number of ministry-theology-seminary types responding here. I got my start in theology too.

All your good hard work removes the slog from blog and gives me hope that even I, with my theology degree and artistic brain, can hatch and nurture a blog. Thank you!

Hi Darren,

Wow. What a great story! I just recently got into blogging a bit more and am really enjoying it. In fact, I wish I had more time for it, but with 2 small boys and a full time resume writing home-based business, it is hard finding the time.

HOWEVER, your terrific post has given me new reason (and excitement) to get out there and post more. You provide such a wealth of information… especially for us blogging newbies! :)

Thanks.

Best,
Erin Kennedy

Well, reading this post has nudge on. Anyway, I enjoy the interaction with my readers and I guess that’s what keep me going as well.

I love the life story. I know how it is to be in Bible school and working three jobs while getting ready to be married! I also know how it is to take my time with getting my degree (attending on and off it took like 8 years).

Thanks for sharing your story, I think it helps people connect with you and your experiences in life.

Hi Darren

I love your blog. Thank you for sharing your story, you are right a lot of people think it’s instant success but it does take time and a lot of hardwork. Someday I hope to be in your position.

Congrats! And keep on blogging.
