Blog Me Cash

Blog Me Cash caught up with Caroline Middlebrook, a prolific and successful blogger. Caroline talks to us about her blogging experiences in this brief interview.

Hello Caroline, and welcome to BlogMeCash.com. Caroline, could you tell us a bit about yourself?

I have quite a varied background. I got hooked onto computers 25 years ago when I got a Commodore 64 (I still have one!) and I never looked back. For all my adult life I have flipped back and forth between being employed and self-employed. Just a couple of weeks ago I made the move back to self employment for the final time as I realise now that I simply was not born to work for somebody else.

What made you take up blogging?

When I quit my day job, I didn’t really know what I was going to do. I just knew that I wanted to make a living using online methods. I had no savings and no established secondary income stream, so from that perspective I was in a similar position to many other people out there that are wanting to make money online. I figured that some people might be interested in seeing how I get on. Therefore I started the blog in order to tell the story. If I am successful, I hope I can inspire others to escape the chains of a job that holds them back. Though hopefully with less risk than I did!

You have been blogging about “Livin’ Online” for some time now. What has been your experience?

It’s only been 6 weeks actually but it’s been fantastic. Other blogs I’ve had in the past still only had 3 subscribers after 6 months but this one has been growing nicely, I am thrilled to see all the comments left on the posts and I am starting to ‘meet’ lots of other bloggers in my niche. I really feel like I am becoming a small part of that community.

Some words of advise for people looking at making money online?

1. It CAN be done
2. You DON’T ‘t need to spend money to do it
3. All the information you need is out there for FREE
4. Don’t Google for your info - read BLOGS
5. It takes LOTS of work
6. There is enough opportunity for EVERYONE

Anything else you would like to say to our readers?

Don’t be put off when you see the ‘big boys’ raking in thousands of dollars a month seemingly so easily. Everybody started at the beginning. The great thing is that it is available to anybody with a computer, you don’t need to spend any money to get started so you can start with nothing but a little of your free time.

Thanks Caroline for sharing your views with the BlogMeCash.com members.
