Where does the money come from with a Blog?

By Mike Klingler

The idea of making money blogging is simple:

The more people who come to your blog the more money you can make!

Why?

It's the same with radio, television, newspapers, and Google.  Advertising.

You can literally sell advertising, such as with Adwords.  It's easy to set up an account with Google.  It's easy to create the code and then just paste it into your site and, like magic, you have your ads.  Now if someone clicks on it you get money.  Or, you can choose to get paid by impressions (but it takes a lot of impressions to make much).

You can make many with Google in a few other ways as well, such as adding a Google search option at your site, for example.

If you are brand new to all this and don't know how to make a website or do any of that, it's OK.  There are so many simple-to-use blog platforms that are easy to set up.  Of course, you have to learn new things.  Yes, it's a pain in the butt to learn new things.  But what would life be if you never learned anything new?

Here you get paid for learning.  You can do it from home.  You can do it in your spare time.  You can learn as fast or slow as you want.  There are numerous information ebooks you can buy that teach you all the tricks.  You have to read.  You have to try things.  You learn.  It's that simple. 

Really, instead of being called, 'Make Money Blogging,' it could be called, "Make Money Learning!'

How else can you make cash with your blog (besides Google stuff)?

You can sell information with affiliate programs.  Again, this is still making money for having people come to your site and you are basically still selling advertising space.  Go to www.clickbank.com to see all the different information products you can sell on your blog.

Think of your blog as real estate.  You choose how you want to use your real estate to make money.  The more people who come, the more valuable it is.

How do you get people to your site.  SEO (search engine optimization), building an audience over time through links, and the list goes on.  Again, if you are willing to just begin and learn, invest a little time and money over the long run, you WILL make money blogging. 

How do you create content for your blog if you can't write?  Well, did you know you can buy articles all the time?  This is what a lot of the successful money-making bloggers are doing!  They don't have time to write their own articles.  You can also just re-word other articles you find! 

Again, YOU CAN DO THIS... if you are willing to go through the process.  Isn't that how everything works!

I suggest reading the article below, which is basically an advertisement for an information product I bought and got started with.  I don't understand everything but it got me going.  I suggest forking over some money on a few different 'making money blogging' information ebooks you run into.  The ones I have bought have helped.  They don't do it for you but they help.

If you are willing to get going, study and learn, you will make money!  So get started if you are willing to win in blogging!  Don't quit.  Your first month you might only make a couple bucks.  But in 6 months to a year you could be making some good money. 

The more you invest into it, the more serious you are, the more making you make blogging and the faster you make it!

Again, like everything else!
