Robert Farrington is more successful than 99% of all bloggers on the planet. He routinely earns between $3000 and $5000 a month from his blogs.
And the kicker?
Yeah, he still has a full-time job completely unrelated to this amazing side hustle!
His sites:
- TheCollegeInvestor.com
- KidsAintCheap.com
- EntrepreneurshipLife.com
- MyMultipleIncomes.com (inactive)
- BeatThe9to5.com.
He shares his tips for blogging success as well has his plan to leave the corporate world behind in the next two years.
Update: I caught up with Robert in 2016 for a “where are they now” episode. Long story short, he’s still blogging as a side hustle, but now earning over $10k a month.
