What I REALLY like about you guys, and your channel is that you tell things like it is. You don't sell the crappy idea that most "gurus" do that you'll become a success and rich overnight. You ALWAYS talk about putting in the work, thinking about how to add value to others, and being consistent and patient. You've been in the trenches, you've walked the walk. That's why I listen to your talk!!! Thanks for the valuable tips.

Thanks for this!!! I have wanted to start writing about a passion of mine as a side hustle for a few years now. I also get caught up with coming up with a name, choosing the right website, writing content and making posts. About 3 months ago I finally just jumped in and started doing it! Obviously there's no money now, but I am loving what I am writing about and really enjoying the whole process. IT is refreshing to hear someone lay out a realistic timeline and all the steps to getting there. I am prepared to put in the 2 years and hopefully by then I am making a little money from it, but if not.... I will be happy regardless as I am learning how to blog and how to create a site in a niche that I am really interested in.

Awesome content as always Ricky. To get to this level when you aren't seeing result yet can be really discouraging, but there's an advice I always give: Make sure you have a side hustle already working for you (could be freelancing) before you start blogging. That will help bring in some income before your blog "explodes". Personally, I am a web designer, so I do freelance jobs and also use my blog to document my web design experience (therefore building up the number of posts on my website and increasing SEO). With that, in a year or two I should start achieving some great results. Thanks again Ricky. 🙂🤗👍

Income School, you guys are helping me finally put my desire to write to good use. I watched another one of your videos where you said the average website with 100 posts earns about $2400 per month. That’s PERFECT for me. Heck, I will be happy if I make it to half that. Somewhere else I read the best way to get better at writing is to write 100 posts. So I’m finally challenging myself - 2 posts a week for a year. Already 4 weeks in and I am so excited. Jojo Lebeouf is the first KZfaqr I heard explain how long it starts to see results. I’m working hard and gonna stay patient. Thanks for all the great advice you post. You’re helping me so much!
