A Mancunian blogger has been profiled in about making money through blogging. Craig McGinty, who was born and raised in Manchester, worked stints as a journalist at the and the before chucking it in and following that peculiar English dream of moving to France... and starting to document the transition.

Now back safe in sound in Greater Manchester, Craig has a growing family of blogs including one about , another to help the of the Northwest to network and a blog about life in Perth Australia (that's long-distance blogging if we've ever heard of it). Craig told that he spends approximately 10 - 12 hours a day working on his eight blogs - which seems like quite a lot of time until you realise that it's not just a hobby, it's his day job.

How's he do it? Craig, who has monetized his blogs by using affiliate schemes and search advertisements, blogs about topics that genuinely interest him and understands that google and other search engines will continue to bring readers to his content whether it was published today, last week, or last year. Craig told the 大象传媒 Manchester Blog that "the potential to earn a living and also to carry on earning from articles in your archive is something I stress to people."

Of course, not all bloggers are hoping to make a job out of it but, for those who are, Greater Manchester's is a good example of how to succede at it.
