Blogging for Income? Be Prepared

If you’re income is derived solely from blogging you need to be prepared for anything that could interfere with consistently writing and blogging. Everybody has heard the importance of having 3-6 months of savings equivalent to your income in case of an emergency that puts you out of work. After experiencing an unexpected and extremely painful medical emergency the last couple of days I decided I will do my best to keep material prepared to post in the event I have another emergency such as this one again.

It may be a good idea to train someone else how to publish your posts that have been written in advance. My situation was such that I wasn’t even able to sit at my computer long enough to even hit the publish button to publish a couple of posts I had prepared let alone write anymore. Talk about frustrating even though I haven’t yet reached a point where I am reliant on income from blogging. Fortunately I had those posts scheduled to publish at certain times because I had Memorial Day plans this past weekend.

On a lighter note regarding blogging, I have been reading as much as I can of that which the blogging pros have shared online. It was frustrating to not be able to sit at my computer long enough to read their blogs the last couple of days, too. Imagine my delight when I received my autographed copy of Lorelle VanFossen’s new book, Blogging Tips, in the mail the other day. How timely. Although I was restricted to laying flat on my back, I wasn’t completely deprived of blogging.

Thanks Lorelle for making my day!

Up too long now. Pain teasing me…back to bed with Lorelle’s book.
