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).

  2. I’ve been exploring and enjoying your website for a few days, but I seem to be stuck on my hard skills. I have an engineering degree but I know it’s considered “expired” this long after graduation (and probably with good reason because I don’t remember much of what I learned), plus it’s not my passion anyway. Anyway I know I need to acquire more hard skills but am not sure of the best way. One big hindrance is money, as I currently work an unskilled job and have student loan debt. Any advice?

  10. You actually make such a complex topic seem so easy with your guide, but I find it to be something I’ll have a hard time doing. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll attempt to get a better grasp of blogging!

    • Thanks for the kind words, Danny! That’s a major complement… the length of this guide is purely to help break down each step of starting a blog into a clear, actionable tutorial that can be followed step-by-step. As I update the guide, I’m always looking for more ways to simplify things 🙂

  11. I face this kind of questions every day. I find it hard to explain to someone because for me it is something that is self-explanatory. I don’t know why friends can’t figure it out.
    Thankfully, I landed on this blog while looking for an article that can explain to a friend of mine about how to start a blog. Thanks so much for writing such an informative article. I will bookmark it so I will have something to share whenever I have such questions.
