Well I’ll say it over and over again until the cows come home, but first and foremost it was you Darren that brought me to blogging a year and a half ago….

Since then, blogging has brought me:

Many wonderful friends
A job: Chief Blogger of Pierce Mattie PR
Another job: Blogger for b5media
Paid my mortgage for the last 6 months
Put clothes on my kids backs
Buy tires for my car
Allowed me to be a stay at home mom
Recognition in the Beauty industry, which has landed me free beauty products to review on my blogs
It has made me more creative and a better writer
It has made me rediscover my passion for writing that I had when I was younger and was told I would never make money from such

I’m sure I could think up a ton more things, but that is the jist of it. :)

Again, I could never thank YOU enough Darren…which is why I never shut up about it. I’m sure there are so many more people who read your blog that feel the same way.

What has blogging BROUGHT me?…

Last week, Darren at ProBlogger.net asked a question of us readers: What has blogging bought you? Plenty of folks answered stuff, toys, electronics, and vacations. Too bad that Men in Aprons has not yet reached the vacation level yet. I answered that b…

Great topic Darren. Really great.

So far, blogging has bought me: Database software for the VoIP company I’m launching, a US Registered Trademark license for the company, a new digital SLR camera, and piece of mind. :)

Keep up the stellar work you do here. It’s of great benefit to many.

Namaste,
Aaron

I recently bought a house and the mortgage payments have kept the rest of my life somewhat slim, financially, however the income I’ve generated my blog has enabled me to buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend that I can be proud of. As David said, Pro Blogging is a reality and even if the mainstream doesn’t know it… we do and that’s what matters. I’m in Tahoe now with the ring burning a hole in my bag as I wait for our overnight trip to Mt. Tallac where we’ll be close to 10,000 feet above sea level when I’ll pop the question (if I don’t pass out from lack of oxygen!). Wish me luck! (And shhhhhh!)

Blogging has bought me a MacBook Pro, 2 Cross Continental Trips, and 2 websites, and pays my monthly bills.

ProBlogging is a reality. It’s changed my lifestyle in many awesome ways. I’m a six figure blogger much thanks to this site.

Recently my blog earnings bought me a brand new electric guitar… an ESP Goldtop to be exact, and in March they paid for a good portion of a trip to Hawaii for my wife & I.

Thanks as always Darren :)

My blogs bought me a 12″ PowerBook a few years ago, then it upgraded me to a 17″ PowerBook at the end of last year, and my blogs are now saving furiously for a 17″ MacBook Pro towards the end of this year.

Along the way they’ve also bought me various gadgets like an Airport Express, Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, lenses for my Canon EOS 20D, a Garmin Forerunner GPS, a couple of iPods, etc.

Now that I list it out like that, my blogs have been very generous!

No idea yet, after a year of messing aroung with different ideas and finally settling on one I really like, I’m about to cross the 100$ mark this week finally and get my first ever adsense payment. I think I will just spend it on improving my blogging somehow (maybe plough it straight back into Adwords or put it towards a decent smart phone for mobile blogging) so that I can increase monthly income. Nice to have finally settled and be concentrating on one project too.

So far since January 2006, blogging bought me a week long trip to the Fairmont Acapulco Princess, for two, a brand new set of golf clubs and lots of nice dinners out. I am working towards my blog paying for an upcoming masters degree in computer engineering.

Wow, impressive list. Just started my first blog last Monday. If that, or any others that I may start, ever replaces my paycheck (which wouldn’t be too hard to do), I’ll be in heaven.

Right now it’s coasting along paying the monthlies for a dedicated server for which I host all of my other personal sites on. I hope the blog will treat me to a few value meals in the coming months.
