I finally got around to reading my RSS feeds today and I was stunned to see that my blogging partner in crime, Martin from gHacks, had quit his job and become a full-time blogger! Martin and I have worked together for a long time, and I’m glad that he’s achieved a goal he’s wanted to hit for a long time. Congratulations mate and I can’t wait to see how gHacks develops going forwards, and I hope you continue to share what you learn
My own plans for going full-time have taken a bit of a hit recently. I got a mini-promotion at work that has set me up well for an even bigger promotion in 12-18 months. My original problogger plan was to quit next summer if I hit a certain earnings target, but I think I’m going to wait around a bit to see if I get the promotion first. I just think it’d be silly to quit when I might be on the cusp of going up a notch, as if the problogging gig doesn’t work out, then hopefully I’ll be able to re-enter the rat race at the new higher level, rather than having to do my time again at my current level.


That’s great when you have 2 good options to choose from. I think if/when I were in that position, I would definitely go problogger. But, I can’t blame you for hanging on to a good paying day job for now.
Congrats to gHacks though.

Congratulation! maintaining a blog in four languages is indeed a tough full time job.

Hmmm…. what’s that ‘certain earnings target’?

It’s a private one not for sharing publicly. Let’s just say that I haven’t hit it yet
