Making a living as a blogger has to be one of the sweetest gigs out there.

As a blogger, you'll be able to earn passive income which means that your money will flow in even as you're sleeping, travelling or relaxing with friends. You're no long trading time for income and this is the point you need to get to if you want to really be free and financially independent (even being self-employed with clients is still pretty much like having a job).

What's more, blogging means you get to earn that money by writing on a topic that you find fascinating and you even get to become something of a minor celebrity in your chosen niche. You can earn a lot of money here too – if a blog takes off and becomes really successful then in theory you can earn thousands a day. It's incredibly scalable and there's no 'upper limit' for what you can achieve.
