Comments on: Day In The Life Of A “Preblogger” http://sidehustleblogging.com/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-preblogger/ Blogging tips for those looking for a side hustle Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:09:46 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jerret http://sidehustleblogging.com/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-preblogger/comment-page-1/#comment-322 Jerret Sat, 15 Aug 2009 02:12:51 +0000 http://sidehustleblogging.com/?p=32#comment-322 Hi Jason, Ever thought about closing comments? Maybe opening a forum for people to "self help" each other? Also, I didn't have health insurance for over a year. Guess what? The dams didn't crack. The earth didn't shake. The roof didn't cave in. Having health insurance is great but shouldn't (in my mind) be THE determining factor in quitting a job. Thanks! -Jerret Hi Jason,

I have a backlog of things to review and a long list of things I want to write about. Some of my friends do not understand why I would prefer to sit in front of the computer on a weekend when I do that during the work week. I don't understand it either. So what do call a blogger who has not made it real money from blogging as a side hustle? A pre-historic blogger???

This looks great! I'll add you to my list of blogging blogs. Man, you are one busy guy. But everyone says the same thing about me, so I know that's a weird thing to say. :) Jason, way to go!

I am a problogger by CHOICE. I choose to live on a PREBLOGGER income :)..... and do it LAVISHLY for less! most people would not be able to live on my salary. I am married and my DH provides me with health insurance. That is something that keeps many "prebloggers" from moving over to "problogger." I am able to be self sufficient because I have mutliple streams of saving and earnings. and I do not live beyond my means. I live a simple life with lavish indulgences in travel, food, bath & beauty products, furnishing, electronics etc..... my house is simple and I drive a paid for hyundai (its the cute sports car one) from 2003. So there ya have it, its all a FRAME OF MIND, you can all be PROBLOGGERS just live within the means of your income, be creative about it! :) OK I am I guess one of those “probloggers” but I have something to say (don’t most bloggers always have something to say?) about this definition and explanation.

I've been kicking around the idea of blogging for at least a year. I hope that reading about the ins and outs from you, whom I've come to really enjoy and respect, I will be the poke I need to get going. Am looking forward to watching Preblogger really take off. Best wishes, Imani Congrats, Preblogger (AKA Frugal Dad),

I discovered FrugalDad not too long ago and have just started following it. I'm looking forward to reading your new blog. Some of the other top bloggers out there (Shoemoney, ZacJohnson) are too advance for me and I can't quite wrap my mind around what their are saying. I look forward to reading about your experiences and about basic, beginner level blogging tips! Awesome! I discovered FrugalDad not too long ago and have just started following it.

You are correct in your assessment that I am a bit overextended. TipDad.com never fully got off the ground, though I continue to seed the occasional post every week or so. I'll probably continue to post there as I can, but really focus my efforts on Frugal Dad and Side Hustle Blogging, because quite honestly, those are the two things I enjoy writing about most. @Prasanth: Thanks for the comments on the site, and for being a Frugal Dad reader as well!

Have been following Frugal Dad for a while. Did not know that you had another site - tipdad too. Don't you think that you are overextending a bit with 3 sites, a full time job and 2 kids? Your schedule is hectic as it is. My suggestion is to concentrate on Frugaldad and any of the the other 2 sites and leave one of them. That way you get more time to concentrate and also can deliver quality stuff. - Prasanth Awesome site !! Have been following Frugal Dad for a while.

Instead, I'm simply sharing a collection of my thoughts on the world of blogging as a side hustle. @Anonymous: While I am a fan of Darren’s site, I could never reproduce what he has done at Problogger.net.
