As much as I enjoy blogging for the love of blogging, I must admit that being able to take my blogging to a more professional level where I can earn a replacement income from it appeals to me greatly – hence the reason I started my professional blogging case study.

And because all the cool professional bloggers are doing it (first popularised by the infamous John Chow), I’ve decided to join the band wagon and publish my income report for my blogs. No, I don’t normally believe in telling people how much I earn.  Quite frankly, if I were earning as much as John, I probably wouldn’t want the world to know either, purely because I belong to the group of individuals that prefers to be rich and unknown.

However, since I am just starting out and Alvin Phang, who is a professional blogger in this part of the world, says it is important to create accountability for the goals that we set for ourselves, I have decided to begin this exercise – at least until I hit my goal to create a replacement income through professional blogging.

So to start with a fresh slate for 2009, this is my income report for January and February:

January: US$504

February: US$525

Goal for March: US$600
