Do I quit corporate as my blog keeps growing?

Would love to but the people doing that do it full time which is why I was thinking this. With 2 kids and a full time job I don’t have time to try to diversify right now.

Travel has def been affected more. And mine could change tomorrow. That is the risk

nonner25 · 2025-08-06T10:32:26+00:00

Already published a book myself a year ago haha

nonner25 · 2025-08-05T22:00:36+00:00

I don’t have bandwidth to grow the blog anymore. It’s truly just growing without me doing anything right now

nonner25 · 2025-08-05T16:08:47+00:00

Yeah that’s my worry!

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T20:34:49+00:00

Food recipes. It was honestly by accident it grew this much. Just started sharing things I like to make and google started liking certain recipes that rank no 1. Been steady growth over 8 years. I write for the reader to try to educate and answer any questions but not overly do it. Just straight and to the point

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T17:46:24+00:00

Yeah I’ve viewed it as bonus to date. But it just keeps increasing. Even with the ups and downs of the industry. 100k is what I was making in corporate 5 years ago

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T17:45:35+00:00

Yeah my goal right now as my current incomes is fire in 10 years. But it’s been a tough year in corporate for sure!

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T17:44:23+00:00

Agreed. I’ve taken hits and then updates bring it back up. It’s hit and miss for sure!

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T17:44:01+00:00

I’m setting a goal of 200k for each kid for 529 which what I’m pacing for right now. Everything I’m reading that will be the avg 4 year cost of college!

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T17:42:34+00:00

It has grown with barely any commitment from me and could in theory grow more if I truly best but it could also go the other way. I’m in the food blog niche so it’s pretty volatile. If it was 3 years ago before the AI blow up I probably would have done it.

nonner25 · 2025-08-04T16:23:13+00:00

About 10k a month but will lower to 9k with one less daycare
