On June 23, 2007 Technically Easy came to life. I had been contemplating starting a blog for months before that day, and finally took the plunge by starting Technically Easy as a free Blogger blog. Just over a year later I moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog, mainly because I like the total control of all aspects of my blog that WordPress provides.
The original goal of Technically Easy was a place where I could write down any issues that I encountered while using a computer and include a solution to the issues. Over the years the blog goal of the blog has changed to discuss technology, in general, but I still like to write problem-solving and how-to posts from time to time.
Milestones
A lot has changed in the past five years since I have been blogging, especially in the technology world. Technically Easy has also evolved from a free Blogger blog to a self-hosted WordPress blog.
Below are a list of milestones that Technically Easy achieved throughout the past five years, which will include both traffic numbers and earnings.

Hi, Jessy. Finding the time has been difficult at times, but putting in the extra effort does have its rewards.
Great!!! In this world, it’s not an instant millionaire; it takes time. Patient and determination is required.
I agree! Big amount of money can’t be earned in just one day, it takes time and lots of hard work to achieve on what we dream. Just hold on your dreams, stay positive and lots of hard work will do.
I agree. You can’t succeed very quickly as it takes years of hard work and dedication.
Great progress! I’d love to boast similar progress! Do you think it’s easier now to successfully monetize your blog than it was in 2007?
