If you have been listening to this podcast for a while, you know I was a huge advocate of HARO - aka Help a Reporter Out. Well, as of late I've become pretty frustrated with the amount of spam on the website and I went looking for an alternative.
Luckily, Isaac Mashman of Mashman Ventures and Brian Laffey turned me onto the new kid on the block - Terkel.io, a knowledge platform that creates community-driven content based on expert insights. Or as I like to call it - HARO without the Spam.

REPLAY
Is it time for you to go pro as a blogger my bloggy friend? Perhaps! In this episode, I'm sharing my key indicators to look out for that will tell you when it's time to take the leap from hobby blogging to professional blogging.
Thanks for listening. May your page views be high, and your bounce rate be low!
You have more than a love for writing.
When you go from enjoying the act of writing to living it, breathing it, not being able to imagine a day without it, youâve found that sexy, passionate kind of love that tells you this is something real. Perhaps you and writing started dating casually; suddenly, everything in your life is giving you reasons to write more. So you bump it up to seeing each other on the regular. Before you know it, you canât stop. You donât want to do anything else but write. Youâve totally found the one and you canât go back.
You catch yourself making a plan.
You used to post on your blog when the urge struck, but for some reason you sat down and created an editorial calendar in Excel. You started thinking about what topics would get your readers attention, and you even pondered what the best headlines were for clickability.
Youâre making enough money from your blog to quit your day job.
Seriously? If youâre already making enough to pay the bills, why are you still working that pesky 9-to-5? Itâs quite possible that you could just do this full time â and perhaps make even more money!
You have to claim blogging income on your taxes.
When you start making serious money and accountants have to get involved, youâre a pro, dude! Just make sure you donât blow this chance to work for yourself doing what you love â be smart about bookkeeping.
A post or two has gone viral.
OK, this might not mean itâs time to go pro, but a viral post could be the perfect catalyst to shift into being a pro blogger. You know that saying, strike while the iron is hot? Well, do that!
You ooze expertise.
What happens when you become an expert on something and start posting a bunch about what you know? Youâve found your niche, my bloggy friend. Good for you! If people are picking up all that knowledge youâre laying down, then I think you might be flirting with professional blogger status.
Ideas flutter from your brain like migrating monarchs.
Even though it might not seem like it, the fact that your mind just keeps churning out blog ideas is HUGE!
Self-starting is no problem.
As a professional blogger you have no real boss telling you what to do. Your only boss is you. You have to have the self-discipline to create a schedule and then stick to it â or your readers will tire of your inconsistency and head over to some other blog.
