We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting an educational blog:

#1: Pete Codes, founder of Pete Codes:

We chatted with with Pete, founder of Pete Codes ($1.2K/month). In our interview, Pete says:

I was able to monetize my website on the very first day by selling a newsletter advert to a developer who had a coding book he wanted to promote.

Additionally:

Deliver what people want in whatever platform you are on. So instead of being lazy and just sending out a link to your blog article, add a few quotes from it to get people interested.

Further:

It’s very important to become a member of a group of entrepreneurs. It’s very hard to start and run a business, both financially as well as emotionally. So you want to have a group of people that can support you along the way.

We chatted with with Terry, founder of TeachThought ($/month). In our interview, Terry says:
