Pro Blogger Darren Rowse on Taking Blogging From a Hobby to a Business

Few people are more highly regarded in the blogging-for-business world than Darren Rowse ofProBlogger.net. He has essentially set the blueprint for how to turn a blog into a business, and is one of the go-to sources for tips on how to do as much. He had a chat with WebProNews at BlogWorld last week, after speaking in one of the more popular keynotes at the event.  

Rowse discussed with us how people can get started blogging, and eventually turn their blogs into moneymakers.

"So if you're blog's a how-to type blog, you want to start thinking 'what's a beginner in this topic need to know?' and start writing that type of content that you can be referring back to later, so that when you start promoting it, you've got content there that they'll find, that is engaging for them. So that is probably the first step, and then, it's about putting yourself out there, and trying to find some readers."
