Leaving Her Job to Create a Multi Six Figure Online Business - A Writing Blogger Tells Her Story
We're continuing our series of blogger stories, and handing the podcast over to you so you can tell your stories and tips of starting and growing your blogs.



This series, which started with episode 221, is all part of the launch of our new (and completely free) ‘Start a Blog'course, which goes live on 10 January 2018. You can sign up to reserve your spot in the course at problogger.com/startablog.

In today’s episode we hear from Joanna Penn, who has done amazing things with her blog at www.TheCreativePenn.com. Joanna blogs about fiction and non-fiction writing, independent publishing, and making a living from writing. And she's built an amazing business around that topic.

I first met Joanna at the very first ProBlogger conference in Melbourne back in 2010. Joanna is English, but at the time she was living in Brisbane, Australia.Blogging and podcasting has allowed Joanna to move on from a cubicle job she really didn’t like and build a business that not only brings in a multiple six-figure income each year, but has also provided many opportunities for her to travel and speak on the topic she covers.

Joanna’s story is one of my favorites in this series, so settle in and enjoy.Links and Resources for From Crying in the Bathroom at Work to a Multi Six Figure Online Business

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our series of blogger stories which I started back in Episode 221. Essentially, this series is all about handing the podcast over to listeners so that I can share their stories of starting blogs. We’ve heard some amazing stories so far, and today I’ve got a really great one, an inspiring one for you. As I said, this started back in Episode 221, go back and listen to those previous episodes. They’re all relatively short stories, and some of the episodes actually have two or three bloggers sharing their stories as well.This is all leading up to our Start A Blog course which launches on the 10th of January, 2018, which is all designed to really help you to start a blog, or someone you know to start a blog. We all know someone who should be blogging, and my hope is that you’ll share that course with them. You can find the course and sign-up where you can register to be part of it at problogger.com/startablog. Please do feel free to share that with others. It’s a completely free course.
