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.

  • blogging must not be your first priority you must first finish studies so you will have more options for your future.

    quitting your studies for blogging is not a good choice. and yes blogging will give you incomes but finishing your study will give you more than that.
  • I won't make blogging a career anytime near because I don't make any money from blogging :(. Simple. I've been writing for 6 months at www.webmaster-dome.com and get just $2/month.

    And, I think degrees do have a position superior to knowledge. I mean, face it. In this world, when you go for a job, they ask for degree first and as Ajay said, knowledge (unfortunately) is second.

    And, even if Joshua Porter has written an interesting post about Blogs as resumes (http://bokardo.com/archives/the-blog-is-the-new...), I don't agree to it. Atleast now ? Thoughts, anyone ?
  • Well as we all know, two sources of income is better than one. So just continue your study while you were blogging. It might save your unknown future. We cant predict what will happen next.
  • Ajay: That's why I said, don't quit studies before your happy with the money it generates.
  • @Rishi, And what if blogging doesn't work out as a career?
