Blogging for Yourself: Ways to make money

[Marto]

You can make money but I've never heard of someone making a lot of money blogging.

I’ve been blogging for a while now, and it never occurred to me that I can make money off it! Definitely something to be considered.

It is very difficult to make a lot of money blogging. You have to have a great, unique site that gets lots and lots of traffic. I recommend ProBlogger.com and Smart Passive Income

Although one can make money out of blogging,I personally do blogging because it's a good outlet to express how do you feel!

I just started blogging myself, I have to agree with what others have written and make sure that you are passionate about your niche. If you aren't passionate it can become difficult to write content

If you want to make money on blogs. First, choose your topic (technology, business etc.) Then, do some SEO strategies.

It is one of the more difficult ways to make money and will take a lot of hours with a very little return for those hours until 2+ years down the line. It's also important to note that a successful blog these days is 75% promotion and only 25% of what you write (although what you write has to be top quality as well or the promotion won't work).

If you have a passion for something and you would be writing about it for no money anyway, then it makes sense to monetize (if you also don't mind spending most of your free time promoting it), but to blog with the main goal of making money doesn't make much sense as there are a lot less risky ways to make more money for less time and energy spent.

I agree with you. Writing a blog to make money maybe too tired. I know a lot of people writing for something they want to express. They can find fun from the writting. We should do anything like this.

I do not have any real time online money earning experience but what I have heard from the guys who earned. The amount is very less or very difficult whether it may be ad-sense, affiliate's or any others.

The best way to make money from Blogging, IMO, is to come up with a Blog that you will enjoy writing about, have expertise in, and have passion for. You will need to establish a regular following for this Blog. Once established, you advertise on with things like Google AdSense, to help monetize it.

Affiliate marketing (books, products, ads) related to your blog is one way you can make money from it. But don't expect cash right away. It can take a couple of years before your blog attracts any kind of attention from readers and advertisers.

I think that review sites are a great thing. By this I mean if you make a software and then submit your app for review on a good page rank site. That could be a good thing. But what services are there for something like this. Any thoughts?
