Officially A Full Time Blogger + Tips For You

I have big news as you can see from the title – I have officially made the leap and decided to start blogging full time.

As of October 28th 2016, I will officially call myself a Blogger.https://www.fitnancials.com/officially-a-full-time-blogger-tips-for-you/

I have been wanting to treat my blog as a full-time job for as long as I can remember.

With college, numerous jobs, and side hustles, I never had time to treat blogging as a REAL job.

I was basically treating it as a hobby, something to do in my free time when I wanted to vent or help others. Only until recently have I discovered how much potential my blog has and how much potential I have as a writer.

The reality of blogging: 

Many people think blogging is an easy way to obtain an income. This couldn't be more wrong. There are many bloggers out there who do not receive any money on their blog whatsoever.

I have been blogging for almost 4 years and am just now starting to make enough to survive without a full-time job, however, I do still plan on doing side hustles such as Rover and other dog walking gigs until I can totally rely on my blogging income.

Travel

Now that I get to work at home, that also means I get to travel whenever I please. I am already planning trips to Ireland, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and more. I get to visit my nieces birthday, go to weddings without taking time off, and so much more.

The benefits of working remotely are endless. I cannot wait to share with you guys my journey and how easy it is to travel the world on a tight budget. Check out how I've seen 5 continents by age 23.

School

I am taking online courses right now and although I want to blog full-time as a career, I still want to earn a bachelor's degree.

I'm close to finishing up and once I do, I'll be able to use my TEFL certification in Europe, specifically Germany, (which is where J.D. and I would eventually like to end up one day).

I am also dabbling in the thought of getting a Vet Tech license, but that requires 2 years of additional schooling, so I'm leaving that up in the air for now.

Life

I currently live in Austin, Texas with my boyfriend and 2 dogs. We absolutely LOVE it here and I have never felt more at home. I have amazing friends, a strong vegan community, tons of restaurants to choose from, and an endless number of free things to do in the city.

My dream is to one day own or work at an animal sanctuary. My love for animals has grown so strong the past year, and after seeing what farmed animals face every single day, I have decided to devote my life to spreading awareness and rescuing as many animals as I can.

Working from home also means I get to spend more time at the local animal shelter, which is a major YAY for me!
