4 Inspirational Six Figure Blogging Success Stories

4 Inspirational Six Figure Blogging Success Stories

As both an entrepreneur and blogger, I can truly appreciate what it takes to be a successful blogger and make that leap from “blogger” to “six figure blogger”.

Through the launch of my Rise of the Entrepreneur podcast, I’ve been able to talk with some of my close business friends and build some new connections and introductions along the way. No matter who I am talking with on the show, the end result is always the same — amazing content and people opening up about how they got to where they are today.

With that said, today I am highlighting four entrepreneurs that have made the journey from pretty much being “unknowns” to making a killing through the internet while also launching their own blog, brands and businesses in the process.

Get ready to be inspired!

Jeremy Schoemaker Shoemoney Check

Jeremy Schoemaker

We start off with Jeremy Schoemaker, also known as “ShoeMoney” and his claim to fame started out when he posted a $132,994.97 Google Adsense check that spread like wild fire. However, this just wasn’t a one time pay day for Jeremy… he actually knew what he was doing.

Years later and Jeremy has created and sold various sites and businesses, while also growing his brand through ShoeMoney.com in the process. Today Jeremy has gone corporate and is focusing most of his efforts on the ParProgram and even has his own office with employees while still pushing seven figures a year in the process!


John Chow

John Chow is the guy that is famous for making money by telling other people how he is making money online. It sounds crazy, right? What’s even more crazy is that the blog was also a platform for John to simply display what he’s been eating for lunch/dinner, while also talking about his favorite cars and tech tools.

Things changed when one of Chow’s readers told him to stop writing about making money with his blog and to actually try and make money with it… the rest is history!

Since starting his blog at JohnChow.com, John has seen massive growth and his propelled his blog from a steady stream of $40,000 in earnings per month to now earning six figures per month!


Daniel Scocco BlogWorld

Daniel Scocco

Daniel Scocco isn’t a house hold name in the world of blogging like John Chow or Jeremy Schoemaker, but I think he would rather it that way. Instead, Daniel is most well know for his blog at DailyBlogTips.com, which has become quite the resource for bloggers of all sizes and has also helped Daniel document and scale his blogs and business along the way.

In addition to his blogging success, Daniel launched his own online marketing training course while now focusing his efforts in the web and mobile application space. 


Ian Cleary

Ian Cleary

Ian Cleary is quickly making a name for himself and his blog at RazorSocial.com, as being an expert in the social media space. However, what Ian has mastered is being able to distinguish himself from the crowd as an expert. While everyone is talking about social media, Ian is talking about social media tools and how to use them to your full advantage.

The result?… His blog being named a “Top 10” blog by Social Media Examiner in both 2013 and 2014.

How to Find Success in the World of Blogging

Blogging isn’t for everyone, and to find financial success with it… well, it isn’t easy!

All of the top bloggers highlighted in this post each have their own story and how they found success, but in the beginning it was something that they were passionate about, but also knew how to monetize in the process.

Too many people are blogging and podcasting for PASSION, instead of PROFIT. As much as everyone would like to say “follow your passion and the money will follow“, more times than not, this isn’t the case. Want to learn more about how to setup a blog or podcast that has the potential to turn into a full fledge business? Shoot me an email and let’s talk.

Listen to these interviews and stories so you can learn from the best and scale your blog, brand and business in new directions that you’ve never thought possible.

Create Stunning Instagram Stories in 3 Minutes with StoryBoost

Written by Zac Johnson

Instagram is all about engagement and the content value perceived by the end user. However, as more influencers and brands are catching in on the latest and greatest ways to create amazing content for their audience, it’s also getting harder to stand out from the crowd.

Think for a moment about the best speakers in the world today. Famous names like Tony Robbins, Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King and Oprah likely all come to mind — and the reason for this is that they are all great storytellers.

Now, think about some of the best brands and influencers you might be following on Instagram. They are likely great at creating content that tells a story as well.

With more than 500 million active users on Instagram, it’s now more important than ever to create content that grabs the attention of your audience.

The problem is, not everybody knows how to market their product on social media. Have you been listening to what’s going on out there? I mean, is it just me or is it getting crazier out there (Yes, I watched Joker, and I loved it!)

There are so many “best practices” to keep up with that you don’t even know if what you’re doing is right.

StoryBoost: Story Editor

StoryBoost is a mobile application that makes the process of creating content for Instagram easier, and more effective than ever before — and best of all, in just a few minutes time.

After downloading the app, users will have access to more than 1000+ templates to choose from, while also being able to add in unique animations, stickers and filters, animated text and more.

Within a few moments time you will start to see how easy it is to create new and engaging content for your Instagram feed, while also using the tools and features offered through StoryBoost to make your content stand out.

Best of all, you will be able to tell your story and build a brand that you’re proud of — while also impressing your fans, followers, and customers!

It’s also important to note that StoryBoost is part of the suite of apps called ‘BoostApps‘ — which is also accessible through the App Store. The other two applications that make up the complete bundle are VideoBoost and PosterBoost, which are both focusing on providing users and brands with the best tools and features to create video and image content that stands out from the crowd.

The BoostApps suite has set out on a mission to make their users’ lives a lot easier, by implementing into their app all of today’s best practices in digital marketing. That way, their users can rest assured that the content they create is aligned with the latest trends in social media marketing.

So without further ado, let’s dive in.

How StoryBoost Works

As powerful and effective as StoryBoost is, the process to create amazing and engaging content through the app is quite simple.

It can literally be broken down in the following four steps:

Pick the Perfect Template

First thing first, you will need to choose a template from the 1,000+ designs that are pre-built into the application. Go for one that best represents your brand, or choose a stylish one that best exemplifies whatever it is you might be trying to sell or promote.

Add Photos, Videos, Text and Stickers

Now it’s time to add some original content into the mix. Tap the + icons inside the template placements to add in your own photos or videos.

Add some stickers or GIFs. 

You can also add unique and call to action headlines in this step as well.

Add Filters to Your Photos

If there’s anything we know about Instagram, it’s that we can’t live without filters! Once you add your photos to the Story templates, tap the photo and click the edit icon and choose your preferred filter.

Add Animations and Transitions

Make your latest engagement and photos pop with the addition of unique and fun animations that will act as transitions between your Stories! Tap the icon that connects the steps of your Story and just pick one of the transitions in the animation library!

This is one of StoryBoost’s most appealing features, as it helps your followers experience your brand as a professional content creator, which channels authority and strengthens your brand.

Share with Your Audience

The last step of the process is to take a moment and be amazed with the awesome new content you’ve created through the mobile application. Oh yea… you also now get to share it with your Instagram audience as well, and get to see how much they love it!

Tap the upload/share icon on the top right corner of the screen to share your post or simply save the story in your video library.

Now… let’s put all of this in motion.

Once your content has been posted to your social profile, be sure to keep an eye on what type of templates and animations get the most engagement. Not only is this great for split testing and tracking user preference, it’s also great for future planning as well. Analyze which posts are getting the most likes, shares, and comments and then use this data to influence new ideas on what type of content to create for your audience in the coming weeks months.

Bring Your Content and Story to Life with StoryBoost

Now that you’ve seen what’s possible through the use of StoryBoost, it’s time to see what type of content you can create for your own site, brand, or online business.

To get started, all you need to do is head over to the iOS mobile app store, or search for “StoryBoost” on your mobile device or tablet.

With over a hundred reviews, thousands of downloads and a Product Hunt badge, the application is already listed amongst the top apps in the Photo & Video category, and currently has a 4.2 star rating out of 5 along with the app store’s “Editors’ Choice” award.

Pricing

StoryBoost is free to download and has in-app purchases for even more features to improve how your content looks and feels when posted to the Instagram platform.

You can subscribe to StoryBoost Premium, which offers unlimited access to all templates and page-to-page animations. Three payment options are available, which are monthly, annually, and lifetime.

Be sure to try the StoryBoost app out for free to see what features you like best, then decide on an access plan that works best for you and your brand.
