Let me show you the steps I’ve followed to build multiple six-figure blogs based around my hobbies.

What's your hobby? Is it photography, art, design, travel, hiking, camping, fishing, video games, board games, golfing, skiing, fitness, yoga, cooking, baking, home brewing, crafting, music, gardening, woodworking, wine tasting, or something else?

Does it seem unrealistic to turn your hobby into a legit online business? I've started and grown a few blogs around my hobbies of web design and photography. Those blogs have generated a comfortable six-figure income and brought in a combined total of more than $1.2 million when I sold them. The story of my photography blogs and my "million dollar hobby" has been covered by websites like Forbes, Side Hustle Nation, and Making Sense of Cents.

I know turning a hobby into an online business is possible because I've done it, and I'd love to share my approach with you.

How would your life change if you were able to make money from your hobby?

If you’re like most people, you’d love to be able to make extra money working from home (or from any place with an internet connection). Blogging is an ideal way to turn your hobby into a profitable business regardless of whether we’re talking about part-time supplementary income or a full-time income.

Many people start a blog with hopes of being able to make some extra money to improve their financial situation, to be able to stay home with their kids, or to make money by writing about something that they love.

Unfortunately, most bloggers who set out to make money never actually make a dime.

There are all kinds of challenges that trip people up. In order to be able to make money with your blog, you’ll need to be able to get visitors to the site. Most new bloggers fail in this area. Of those that do have some success generating traffic, some of them find that they don’t know how to turn that traffic into money.

What makes this situation more frustrating is the fact that you see other bloggers having success and making money. You know it’s possible, but maybe you don’t know how to make it work for yourself.

But what if you could follow a blueprint that’s been created by a successful blogger who has launched and grown several blogs in different niches?

I’ve created Hobby to Pro to help others who would like to turn their hobby into a source of income through blogging.

Hobby to Pro is a thorough video course with everything you need to help you go from beginner to money-making blogger. Plus, you’ll get access to a printable workbook with action steps that guide you through the entire process.

My name is Marc and I started my first blog in 2007 on the topic of web design. I wasn't a real web designer, but I liked the topic and I was interested in learning. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was reading everything I could find about blogging and digital marketing and trying to implement it

Sure enough, I found some things that worked and within 6 months I had grown that blog to reach 100,000 visitors per month, a number that seemed astronomical just a few months earlier. With consistent effort and dedication, I was able to quit my full-time job 1.5 years after launching the blog. That was in 2008 and I’ve been working as a full-time blogger ever since.

My first blog continued to grow, peaking at more than 1 million visitors per month, and generated a nice six-figure income to support me and my family. In 2013, about six years after launching the blog, I sold it for $500,000.

Since then, I have built and sold a few photography blogs as well. Despite the fact that I'm nothing more than an amateur photographer, I was able to turn those blogs into a full-time income. In fact, from 2012 - 2018, I made more than $1 million in total with my photography blogs.

Every time I’ve sold one of my blogs, I had to start at the beginning and do it all over again. Because I’ve started over several times, I can relate to the challenges that new bloggers face with growing a blog from scratch. I know what it’s like to get frustrated that no one seems to be coming to your blog. And I know what it takes to go from that stage to actually making money with the blog.

I’ve also had blogs in a few different niches (web design, photography, and now finance). I can show you the approach that works regardless of what niche you’re in or what topics you cover with your blog.

Blogging has made a huge difference for me and my family. Instead of feeling depressed about going into the office for a job that I hated, I’ve been blessed to be able to earn a living from home (and traveling) working on things that I enjoy. My income has increased significantly compared to what I made at my old job, and my wife was able to leave her job and become a stay-at-home mom to our two kids. Working as a blogger gives me the flexibility to dictate my own schedule, and I have more time with my family and more freedom over when and where I work.

If that sounds appealing to you, I'd love to be able to share what I've learned by turning my own hobbies into a successful online business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have no experience blogging?

Hobby to Pro assumes that you have no prior experience with blogging. There are lessons that will help you with the basics like choosing a niche for your blog, naming your blog, and getting your blog set up. The course has an entire module devoted to the basics of setting up your blog. Don't worry, it's simple.

What if I've already started my own blog?

If you've already started your own blog, you can simply skip the lessons related to setting up a blog. The lessons in Hobby to Pro will help you to take your existing blog to the next level.

When does the course start and finish?

You'll be able to access the course as soon as you sign up. Students get full access to the entire course, so you can work through the lessons at your own pace. There is no starting or ending date.

How long will I have access to the course?

After enrolling, you'll have unlimited access to the course for as long as you'd like.

What format is the course material presented in?

The lessons are in video format and you can also download a text-based workbook (PDF format). The workbook includes key points for the lessons, as well as action steps that will lead you through the work that you need to do with your own blog. Even though video is the primary format of the course, the workbook is extremely important because it helps you to implement the material.

How much time will I need to invest into my blog?

You can invest as much or as little time as you want, although I do recommend dedicating 10 hours per week in order to get the best results. You can work those hours whenever it fits into your daily/weekly schedule.

How much money will I need to invest into my blog?

The required investment to get started is very small. The only absolutely necessary expense is for domain name registration and web hosting, which can be less than $100 per year. If you're able to invest another $50 - $100, buying a premium theme (template) is a good idea, although it's not completely necessary. As your blog starts to make money, you'll want to re-invest some of that money into things like plugins, email marketing services, and other resources that make your work easier or more efficient.
