Welcome to readers of Wall Street Journal who may have found themselves here after today’s article in there.
If this is your first time to ProBlogger.net then let me give you a quick tour of my online home.
Firstly, my name’s Darren Rowse and as the article in the WSJ suggests – I’m a full time blogger. I blog both here at ProBlogger but also at Digital Photography School. I’m also a cofounder of b5media a blog network with close to 300 blogs.
ProBlogger is a blog that is devoted to helping bloggers improve their blogging and explore ways to earn an income at the same time by writing about topics that they love.
More and more bloggers are now making at least a part time income blogging – with some even having gone ‘Pro’ with full time incomes using a variety of income streams.
I write more about the reasons for this blog and my experience as a blogger in my About Page. You might also like to see some of the ways that I make money from my blogs for an introduction into how bloggers make money blogging.
If you’re new to blogging you might find this ‘what is a blog?‘ article and my series on Blogging for Beginners helpful.
If you like what you read here you can follow my future entries (I write several times per day most days) in two ways – either using our RSS News feed or you can get daily updates by adding your email address to the field at the top of my sidebar.
Thanks for stopping by – I hope you enjoy your stay at ProBlogger. If you do have any questions feel free to drop me a note in a comment below or via my contact form.
There is also a very active community of fantastic readers like myself!
We are waiting to pick apart your comments!

Or not.
$250K is a nice income from writing a couple of blogs :)
I have enough trouble just trying to read all of the stuff you write. Are you sure you don’t have your son helping you out?
Not a bad write up on the WSJ, Mr Rowse!
I question, were you approached prior to it being written (in part it reads like an interview, in part like its information gleaned from reading ProBlogger)?
Mike – no… unless he’s sneaking out of his cot at night!
Here is the reference for those who did not understand the mysterious title
Very nice article. That is impressive. Would love to see the traffic bump today…
Nice write up and they didn’t slap an ever so fashionable “nofollow” on the link. Happy days all round :)
It would be interesting if you could report back how much traffic you get as a result of the link, Darren.
Pretty massive exposure hitting the WSJ Darren, well done to have such a wide spread, reputable reputation, it`s a credit to you.
Nice writeup. Congrats on the recognition.
Hey Darren,
Or should I say Mr. Rowse [sic].
Congratulations!
It’s not every day you get mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.
Keep up the great blogging mate.
Congratulations. Well deserved recognition.
Congratulations Darren on the mention in a major media outlet like the Wall Street Journal. Wonder how many more visitore that will bring?
Darren – congratulations! You certainly deserve the recognition.
Although 250k is good money, I don’t think most of us realize how much time Darren puts into his work.
Congratulations on the WSJ article!
Now that’s big-league media coverage – well-deserving, I might add. I have now made Problogger.net my source for blogging tips when starting up my own blogs.
Wow Darren! Congratulations on the mega-exposure from such an elite and reputable source! You are truly my inspiration.

Darren , you work so hard and give up so much good stuff, the publishing Gods are looking out for you! Congratulations!

Now – lets get back to blogging :-)
Great exposer! I’ve just started the blog monetize thing and I feel like I’ve stumbled onto a gold mine.
Congratulations and here’s to learning a ton about making money with my blogs.
I love the Wall Street Journal. For my own reasons I always loved to read their coverage of business failures for their witty and accurate stories.
Congrats Darren. I believe a few (hundred) more have just joined the problogger fanbase.
