Steven Campbell of NoEnemies, a 9rules member, and all around great guy to talk to recently interviewed me about my job and how I got into it, and has posted said interview on his site.
Why did you choose to become a professional blogger?
I don’t suppose saying “because the option was available” is really a good answer, but that is really what happened. I was between real jobs, and having just finished up a stint on Darren Rowse’s Laptop blog, I was hungry for more blogging action. My personal blog just didn’t have the same reach and audience that his niche blog had, and so when Jacob was willing to hire me on to write on some great sites, I just couldn’t turn it down.I never really intended on doing this as a career. I am a big geek, and always have been, and so for me to get a writing career rather than selling computers, or fixing networks and whatnot was never in the plans, but I really enjoy what I do, and am always amazed that I get to do something so amazing as a career. It sure beats selling computers!
I really enjoy talking about my professional blogging career, and Steven’s interview was a lot of fun. Check it out.
