If you want to quit your job to blog full-time then you absolutely should be making the same salary or more from your blog than your current job before you take that plunge.

If you aren't then ideally you would need to save up 6 months of your monthly salary as a buffer.

I'm tweeting this because I've just seen someone mention quitting their job to blog full-time when they don't make a penny from their blog yet.

Unless you are already financially secure and can do without your wage then this is just wild.

And you don't have to quit your job to run a successful blog.

I work part-time in the evenings, I blog from Saturday-Tuesday and I'm a stay at home mum Wednesday-Friday.

It can be done

I get asked quite a lot why I don't just blog full-time and I absolutely could but I love having a guaranteed wage each month, it's a privilege that comes with many perks.

Although my blog earnings are currently fairly steady there will always be quiet periods.

I think blogging is pushed as this incredible way to make money but nobody talks about the hard-work that goes into generating that income.

People see the £££ people are making and assume they can achieve the same success overnight.

It takes A LOT of hours and A LOT of work.

I started my blog in 2014 and it only really started making me some serious income in 2019.

I'm at the stage now where I can work on it part-time and make a full-time income but it's taken years to get to this stage.
