Should You Quit Studies and Start Blogging?

Amit Agarwal posted an interesting topic on whether you should drop out from school and make blogging as your career. As a problogger and a student myself, I always found it hard to keep up with both, but I gave a higher priority to blogging by frequently updating my blog and doing some research on the topic. Frankly, I didn’t even dream of making my career as blogger. This blog was born out of the sheer curiosity of sharing things. Initially, I didn’t think of SEO, monetization methods or traffic building tips. I just kept consistently feeding this blog with unique content and search engines started loving me. Eventually, traffic started flowing and I started making money.

If your one of those students who think of starting a career as a blogger, I advice not to quit your studies before your happy with the money you earn out of your blog. As Amit said in his post, it’s risky and things might suddenly turn upside down very quickly.

Remember, you can’t make money overnight. I started making money from blogging only after 7 months of consistent posting.

  • You are right! I too blog and earn enough money for my expenditure but leaving studies...its a hard matter!

    Maybe I can make blogging my career if my blog gets more popular and I start getting more revenues.

    I didnt agree on the thing Amit said about "Degree" ... knowledge matters, not a degree!

    But yeah, studies for me until I reach 12th !

    Thanks!

    By the way, whats your plans Thilak [I guess must be going ahead to blogging ;) !] ?
  • Rishi: I agree with you, knowledge can't be measured interms of a degree !
  • It will too early for that,Some might be successful but its still a concern in indian environment.May be in 4 yrs it can grow as a carrier but by that time there will be lot of competition.

    I guess at least have something in hand before u really start
  • I have to say, some of my best posts and articles are ideas that I get from school. Not necessarily anything I learn, but things that I think about as a result of something I learned..
  • I agree totally about knowledge and degree not being the same. But, when you go for a job they don't know ask you how much you know, because first they want that "degree" and a good rank there. Next comes your knowledge.

    Blogging has its plus points, but I believe that unless you're making enough from it and when I say enough it should be enough to be able to take care of yourself and your family, then by all means quit.
