Nick Foy’s Resource Guide to Launching Your Blog

Hey there blogger! I’m super thankful for you being here today on the Ask Nick Foy Blog.

We’ve been talking a lot lately in the previous posts about how to start and grow a successful blog that eventually becomes an online business, earning you passive income while you travel the world!

With the good comes the bad though.

We’ve also been making sure you are well aware that blogging is hard work and making money online won’t come easy.

There is no such thing as a get quick rich scheme.

Building a profitable blog & online business takes lots of effort, lots of hours, and lots of failures along the way.

But don’t let this discourage you from getting started. The time will pass anyway and a year from now you will look back and wish you had started your blog today.

Let’s help you get started with your blog today by laying out all the resources, helpful articles, and tutorials that you’ll need.

This is the first time we’ve written a blog post in this style except for when we created our 20 step guide to starting an online business, which you should download if you haven’t yet.
