Just a short note to welcome viewers from Australia’s TEN News. A story just aired on the TEN network that featured three bloggers – Karen Cheng<\/a>, Neerav Bhatt<\/a> and myself (I’m told it will also be on the PM editions of the news in some cities tonight). For international readers – you can now see the report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If this is your first time at ProBlogger – let me give you a quick ‘tour’.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ProBlogger is a blog about blogging<\/span> – more particularly it’s a blog about making money from blogging. Millions of blogs have sprung up on the web over the last 5 years and many of those bloggers are now looking to take their blogs from something that is purely a hobby into something that earns them a little money to supplement their income. For most this is simply a way to pay for their coffee habit or to save up for that new gadget that they’ve been eyeing off – but for some blogging has become a significant source of income. By the way – my name is Darren Rowse not Darren Dowse (as the caption said in the story).<\/p>\n

About Me<\/h3>\n

\"DarrenI’ve been deriving a full time income from blogging for around 3 years on blogs like ProBlogger and Digital Photography School<\/a> (a blog about helping digital camera owners improve their photography). A couple of years back I co-founded a company called b5media<\/a> which is a blog network based in Toronto which has around 350 blogs in it – employing 200+ bloggers. I’ve also recently written a book about blogging (see below). I live in Melbourne with my wife and son and am expecting a new baby any day now. If you’d like to read about my story of becoming a full time blogger – check out this post called ‘Becoming a ProBlogge<\/a>r’.<\/p>\n
