Today is my tenth anniversary of starting blogging and to celebrate I’m offering all ProBlogger ebooks at just $10 each—that’s a 50-90% saving on their normal price.
10 Years of Blogging
Ten years ago when I hit Publish on my first blog post, I could never imagined how that moment would change my life.
Having read my first blog only minutes before I spontaneously decided to give it a go myself—registered a Blogspot blog and quickly wrote my first post.
In that moment before I hit publish I had mixed feelings:
- On one hand I felt excited by the potential of this new medium of blogging and wondered what it would happen.
- On the other hand, I had many doubts—I had no technical experience, I wasn’t a great writer, I didn’t know if I had anything to say and wondered if anyone would ever read what I did write.
I had every reason not to start that first blog but for some reason felt compelled to hit Publish.
Fast-forward to today, ten years later, and I’m so glad I did!
Blogging has opened up some wonderful opportunities to meet great people, learn so much about the topics I write about and to travel and experience some amazing things.
That it has also become a business and the way that I feed my family is an unexpected bonus!
What’s made the last decade all the more satisfying to me is that I’ve been able to bring others along on the journey of making money through blogging—through starting ProBlogger in 2004.
Over 34 million readers have visited ProBlogger since that time—considerably more than the number of people who live here in Australia.
By no means has everyone of them become a full time blogger but almost every day I hear stories from readers telling me about the opportunities reading the blog posts and eBooks at ProBlogger has helped open up for them.

Awesome news Darren, Wow, ten years of blogging, that is something to be proud of my friend. I am coming up on year two and I have no plans of stopping. Having too much fun with it plus the personal growth I have experienced is unreal.
10 years of blogging! I wonder what your readership was like then compared to now?
well when I started I didn’t have any readers :-)
Congrats on the 10 year mark and thanks so much for offering the courses for $10! Yes, I bought one.
Any chance your team would put together (or maybe there’s one you’d recommend elsewhere) a guide to publishing an ebook? A real step-by-step plan, from writing to formatting to turning it into a PDF, cover art, and the nuts and bolts of the sale/delivery mechanism, PayPal, etc. I’m working on a book but have no idea of what to do next and any research I’ve done (about the next steps) is about clear as mud.
thanks for the suggestion – actually we’re working on a guide along those lines at present – hopefully for 2013!
Cool, great person to learn from, wish u success in sharing ur knowledge.

Congrates Darren on year successful 10 years! Have just purchased 31DBBB. Though I didn’t purchase it earlier, but I was confident about the quality, so I am selling your Ebook at my homepage from the beginning.
Excellent information. Blogs have a lot of power and your suggestions are great tools for maximizing that power.
Darren, great sale, so much so that I bought The Blogger’s Guide to Online Marketing. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a download link. I emailed you yesterday, but haven’t heard back. Can you look into it and get in touch? Thanks.
@Taswir: I have the first version of 31DBBB and was very pleased with it. Good value.
Congratulations for blogging a decade!
I may understand the journey you would have passed through. Thanks for discount on ebooks!
Congrats Darren on 10 years. I’m a year and a half into my first blog.
I wonder, do you have any person(s) from your first days of blogging whom you are friends with today?
I have a handful of friends whom i met online when I first started blogging and even though we are in different niches we have a bond. Unfortunately I have lost many blogger friends who just gave up and moved on.. It takes a certain kind of person to stick it out… I hope i make the cut…
Congratulations! Ten years is a big number. I’m excited for your books great sale.
Wow — thank you for the wonderful sale, and CONGRATS!
Congratulation on your first 10 years!
Thank you for sharing your success with us.
