My Story of Blogging

My story of blogging began as an impulse, driven by the desperate need to find an outlet as I watched my wife’s mental health spiral downward. Her journey through trauma since childhood had left deep scars, and life’s relentless challenges only compounded her struggles. In 2018, she was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis, and the following year, fibromyalgia disorder. These chronic conditions not only confined her to the four walls of our home but also stripped her of the ability to work a traditional 9-5 job.

As a medical secretary working from home, my wife found solace in avoiding the crowded public transport of London, but the physical and mental toll of her illnesses was unyielding. The four walls that once provided shelter began to feel like a prison, exacerbating her depression. In her lowest moments, she had to stop working for six months due to another endometriosis surgery. The cyclical nature of her condition meant multiple surgeries to remove reoccurring lesions, each one taking a piece of her strength.

During this time, I realized that creating a more supportive environment could potentially uplift her spirit. Growing up, I was always surrounded by my mum’s lush plants and beautifully decorated home, which instilled in me a love for home decor. I knew that the therapeutic and calming effects of a well-decorated space could make a difference in my wife’s life.

In the autumn of 2019, I started blogging, driven by the hope that sharing our journey could not only help others but also improve my wife’s quality of life. I discovered that my blog could be a tool to not only earn passive income but also bring about positive changes in our home environment. Home decor became a passion, inspired by the idea that a beautiful, calming space could provide mental and emotional relief.

My first blog is dedicated to endometriosis and fibromyalgia and is aimed at teaching men like me how to support their chronically ill partners. Through this blog, I found a community of men who, like me, were searching for ways to be better supporters and caregivers.

My second blog is about my love for blogging itself, sharing tips and insights on how to build and maintain successful blogs. This became a platform for me to connect with other bloggers and share the journey of turning passion into a profession.

Now, my third blog combines my love for home decor with the practicalities of working from home. I focus on creating cozy, functional home office spaces that inspire productivity and peace. This blog is my way of turning our personal struggles into something beautiful and beneficial for others.

Blogging has given me a sense of purpose and a way to support my wife in her battles. It has taught me that even in the darkest times, there is always a way to create light. Our home is now a sanctuary filled with plants, warmth, and carefully curated decor that brings us joy every day.

My journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the belief that we can turn our challenges into opportunities for growth and inspiration. I hope that our story inspires others to find beauty in their struggles and to create spaces that nurture their well-being, both physically and mentally.

Through these blogs, I aim to inspire, motivate, and bring comfort to those who are on similar journeys. Life may be filled with challenges, but with a little creativity and a lot of love, we can transform our surroundings and our lives.

Work from Home Comfort

Hello and welcome to my story of blogging.

My name is Przemo and I know the struggles of living paycheck to paycheck, the sinking feeling of never having enough, and the sting of despair that comes when the bills pile up.

Like many of you, my journey to make money from home and to earn money online started not as an ambition, but as a necessity.

In the chilling cold of a -30°C winter night during the first week of the 80s, I came into this world.

Those early years were tough!

I remember meals that were just bread and drippings. Times were hard, but my parents’ undying love and resilience kept us pushing through.

But it wasn’t just about finding our next meal – it was the gnawing realization that the system isn’t built for thinkers and visionaries, it’s built for the working class (hence the name).

As I grew older and delved into medical school, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of discontent...

Why are we not taught to think?
Taught to dream?
To earn money and break free?

I realized the hard truth… Our schooling system produces workers, not thinkers. Even now, in an age where AI offers instant access to knowledge, schools are still regurgitating outdated facts:

Why doesn’t anyone teach us about money?
Why are we funneled into this cycle of endless labor?

Why do we only (and maybe) enjoy life when we’re old and frail?

Because the government doesn’t want a financially savvy society.

Life, as it often does, threw me a curveball…

After moving to London, I found love and married a stunning, radiant Italian dancer. But fate had its plans, and she was diagnosed with severe health conditions, shaking our world and impacting us both emotionally and financially.

Firstly, M was diagnosed with the worst type of endometriosis – stage 4 and deep infiltrating. The following year, she was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

That was a time when I ventured into the world of blogging, initially to share our journey of battling chronic illness. It was a form of therapy, but as I explored more, I stumbled upon the immense potential to make money from home.

That discovery led me to the path I’m on now.

Backed by personal experiences and insights from my wife, who is a wizard with savings, but also from my twin brother, an accountant who kindled my passion for financial education, I began to unearth the potential of online side hustles.

Through side hustles from home like Pinterest, the beauty of affiliate marketing, or the vast realm of blogging, I realized that it’s possible to escape the 9-5 grind…

There are side hustles that pay well, and they’re not just dreams – they’re tangible, real part-time work-from-home jobs that anyone, with the right guidance, can embark upon.

If you’re here, yearning for that chance to break free, find that perfect side job, or dive into remote work, know this – I’ve walked in your shoes. I understand the weight of financial burdens, the despair of feeling trapped, and the longing for freedom.

My mission is to guide you, to offer a lifeline to those seeking jobs from home, and to introduce you to those side jobs from home that aren’t just about surviving but thriving.

Should You Start a Blog?

Ah, the age-old question for budding online entrepreneurs – “Where do I begin?” and the answer lies in the question – “Where does your heart gravitate?”

Do you feel the pull of pouring out your soul and insights into a blog?
Does the allure of crafting visual masterpieces on Pinterest enchant you?

What about weaving magic with your hands and sharing it on Etsy?
Does dropshipping, starting a Shopify shop or affiliate marketing call out?

Normally, I would suggest you listen to that inner whisper, however, I actually tested all of the above. I found that the easiest and best way to start is the following:

Pinterest is like strolling up a hill in flip-flops – a bit unconventional, but hey, you’re making progress and looking good doing it!
Etsy is like planting flowers in a garden while sipping tea – some dirt might get on your fancy hat, but in the end, you’ve got something beautiful to show.
Affiliate marketing is like river rafting with a rubber duck – might seem out of place, but with the right strategy, that duck’s going to sail!

Blogging is like scaling a mountain in bunny slippers – it’s a quirky choice, there’ll be slips and trips, but imagine the stories you’ll tell when you’re at the top!

Your Story of Blogging

95% of bloggers fail, so why the heck should you start a blog?

Despite the time it takes to build it, you should start a blog because you can diversify your income through blogging in many ways:

You can make money from advertising.
You can earn affiliate commissions.
You can grow with Pinterest.

You can sell products or services.
You can get sponsorships.
You can charge for consulting services.

You can create and sell online courses.

The list goes on, but despite that, for many people, a blog might just be a digital diary. To me, it was a beacon of hope. A blog is more than just words on a screen!

My story of blogging started as a therapeutic outlet to pour out my thoughts and transformed into something very monumental. My blog was no longer a mere hobby, it was a booming business venture with the promise of multiple income streams – an avenue I’d never imagined held the key to financial liberation.

Monetizing my blog felt like unraveling the secrets of a hidden treasure – affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, I even wrote 5 eBooks – suddenly, I was harnessing avenues of income I’d never even heard of before!

And yet, money was only a piece of the puzzle. Blogging has shed light on the uncharted territory of personal finance.

It wasn’t just about income – it was about being smart with what I had. From meticulous budgeting to delving into the gold mines of precious metals, my financial horizons expanded. The combination of sound personal finance strategies with a thriving side hustle opened doors I’d only dreamed of.

If you’re drowning in financial uncertainty or yearning for a more fulfilling career path, let me tell you, blogging is your lifesaver. It might seem like a steep mountain to climb, but with determination and the right resources, the summit is closer than you think.
