How I Started A Blog With Over 500K Monthly Visitors And Generates $35K/Month
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Thank you so much for having me! My name is Ryan Robinson, and I blog over at ryrob.com where I (now) mostly cover blogging & marketing related topics. I started taking my blog seriously back in 2014 (after it was originally born during a marketing class in college a few years prior), sharing my journey in building a freelance business—and it remained a side project for several years before I began working on it full-time in 2018.
Alongside my blog work, I held many day jobs working as a content marketer for some of the world’s top startups and Fortune 500 brands like LinkedIn, Intuit, CreativeLive, and others where I learned the strategies I applied to my blog at the same time.
That kind of side-by-side work was instrumental in allowing my blog to really reach its full potential, where I now see around 500,000 monthly readers and generate anywhere from $25,000 to $55,000 in revenue each month through a combination of affiliate partnerships, sponsorships, and the sale of my own digital products like courses and books.
