Hi I'm Ryan Robinson

I'm a blogger, but I'm not my blog. I am not my business either. Occasional podcaster and very-much-recovering side project addict. Co-Founder at RightBlogger. Join me here, on ryrob.com to learn how to start a blog and build a purpose-connected business. Be sure to take my free blogging tools for a spin... especially my wildly popular free keyword research tool & AI article writer. They rule. Somehow, I also find time to write for publications like Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Next Web, Business Insider, and more. Let’s chat on Twitter (X?) and YouTube about our feelings (and business, of course).

  3. Hello Ryan,
    Great article! As usual, you always post the most informative and useful information. I just happened to be looking for instructions on removing the date from the URL in my posts. I couldn’t find the information anywhere in my settings. I had your article open, so I thought I should read through it again before closing the tab. And wouldn’t you know, you had the answer for that! Awesome!

  9. Hi Ryan,
    As March came to an end my blogging journey completed 8 months.
    I have got AdSense approval and started earning also from it but it’s not enough to get the cash in hand.
    My traffic is very negligible and there are lots of issues and I am solving my problems and proceeding consistently.
    Sometimes it’s becoming hard to continue but as great people said great things come with greater price.
    Hopefully, I will get success in blogging and will be able to earn a decent income from it.

    Your article is wonderful and it has given me a lot of insight. It’s very helpful for new bloggers to achieve success in blogging.

    Thanks

    • Keep up the good work, Dipanjan. It sounds like you’re making strides in the right direction, but blogging definitely takes a lot of time and effort to build up momentum & eventually “make it big” 🙏

  13. Hi Ryan
    This guide is fantastic, easy to follow and set up. There’s many guides out there which are all too confusing and frankly quite cumbersome. Because of the detail you go into with all the links and the user friendly ease, its been a dream setting up my second website and blog.
    I am hoping I can now work on getting the traffic to my content over the next few months.
    Thanks for your help from a very satisfied person……
