Are we Making Money on Blogspot?

I am speaking specifically about Blogspot here, not talking about making money with blogging in general.  I am talking about "making money with Blogspot". And I am here to tell you I do make money with Blogspot.  Not getting rich from it of course.  But comparatively speaking, Blogspot is my biggest earner on the internet.  That is not with one single blog, I have, oh, more than four but less than ten Blogspot blogs.  With no overhead, anything made is pure profit, and Blogspot is geared toward the entrepreneur.  The platform is very strongly driven to help its users earn money online.  In the process, Blogspot, or Google makes money themselves, well, sometimes they do.

Can blogging be a successful home business?

Cents add up to a successful home business

It is a really good question to ask. Can I successfully blog to the end of a strong home business?

Personally, I have not yet succeeded.  I have tried and tried.  Probably not hard enough yet.  And because of this, I continue.

Blogging is not always the easiest path to take, for sure.  But, I have to believe the possibility of a successful business.  I have to because I am so heavily involved.

I know,  I seem to be all negative.  It is by design.  I am giving all the nay-sayers fuel for their fires.  It is important to give everyone what they want, right? In fact, the less people that attempt to become a blogger is all the more space for me to succeed. I do like a little competition.  But,  there is plenty out there.  So, no, blogging cannot be a successful home business.

Now that I've got that out there, and probably ran off about half my readers, lets us get down to business.  So-to speak that is.  I do believe in Blogging as a business.  I do and I will find my own success with this business.  With time.  I see rewards now, and I am slowly, but surely building a place online.

You want to use blogging as a home business?  What do you need to do then? How can you be successful? And how long is this going to take?

Here at blogging for beginners, I have covered a lot of issues.  I have tried to teach all I can.  About how to blog.  And I have always done so, even though I know I am doing nothing but creating more competition.  But there is a certain benefit that comes with competition.  It requires you to work harder, write better, and focus.  All good attributes for a successful business.

Truth is,  you can create a home business from blogging, and truth is, it can even be successful.  But truth is, you have about the same chance of success as you do in creating any personal, or home business.  Its not a great rate of success.  Blogging is by no means a slam dunk.  You have a very large audience, but you have to be able to find ways to get that audience to find you.  That is the tricky part.

The great thing about the internet and about blogging is, you can just keep adding to the pile.  Every post you write, article you submit and backlink you create, can add value and income to your home business.    So, in a way, its all about quantity.  I may fail a little bit in the quantity area right now.  I do a lot of writing but I still cannot say I have a successful home business in blogging.

But it is possible.  There is a tried and true formula I follow and in doing so, I always generate more income every day.  The increases are measured in cents instead of dollars though and that is what makes blogging so frustrating sometimes.

So, what is MY system?  Well it is nothing so special.  I do whatever I can think of to create my own web within the web to snare people.  And in the process, I try to use revenue sharing sites to do that.  Hubpages and Bukisa. Redgage, and yousaytoo, to name a few.  Every single one of these sites offer some sort of revenue sharing, along with helping my link building.  It is through these properties I am able to supplement my income and create a constant stream of money coming in. I do use sites like Ezine and GoArticles to, but more sparingly.  In situations where I have trouble ranking for certain keywords.

Even though I fancy myself as not just a blogger, but a writer.  All the writing required ca. Be wearing.  I am constantly working on articles and stories and descriptions of stories, in order to create a larger presence on the internet.  This is the key.  You can try your hand at easy backlinks and backlink generators and the like, but you will find the results less than pleasing.  And chances are your sites will not just grow in popularity on their own merit.  People have to find you.  And that requires your constant attention to detail. 

If you start a Niche blog about a very specific topic, and even if your competition is nearly non-existant, you will nevertheless be required to make sure the search engines are aware of you if nothing else.  And this too requires you to write and to build quality backlinks to your blog.

So, bottom line to my ranting for the day.  If you have decided that you want to try to make blogging your home business, and if you want that home business to support you.  It is going to require a lot of time and a lot of effort.  If you have a product other than knowledge to sell, your efforts may produce better results.  but for those of you who will base your income on ad revenue, be ready for a very long journey.  You will need thousands of page hits and you will need to have hundreds of URL's that are all collecting income in order to find financial freedom.  This is the truth, this is not me trying to scare people away anymore.  This is cold hard reality.  You cannot expect that just because you write and write and have a steady stream of readers, that you will find success.  You have to expect that you will constantly need to build up your readership, find new places to grab your readers and find better topics to write about.  All along, perfecting your own SEO and internet marketing techniques in order to generate the income stream you will need.

It will not be easy, it may not even always be fun.  But, if you succeed, it can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do.  To know that by sharing nothing more than knowledge, you can generate a worth while income and live happily.  I personally cannot think of a better feeling of satisfaction.

So, read and read and learn all you can.  read every single page here at blogging for beginners.  And then search for more information and make educated and knowledgeable decisions and maybe, just maybe you can create your own successful home business.

Blogging for beginners - Free blogs or paid domains?

I received a comment the other day talking about the only way to really do well with blogging is through a custom domain.  Or a paid blog, you may call it. 

So, it got me to thinking, what is the real difference I have noticed between free blogs and paid blogs?  Because I do also have blogs I pay for.  But I really do believe that free blogs are not so shabby, especially for individuals who are just learning the process and concept of blogging.

So, whether you are blogging with the intention of making money or just blogging for the fun of it, I thought I would explain in a little bit of detail the pros and cons of both free blogs and paid blogs.

Take this blog for example.  This blog would probably do very well as a paid blog.  I have given it quite a bit of love in order to place fairly well in the search engines.  And at times it does seem to be a bit of a waste of time to keep pumping hours and hours into a free blog.  And why is that you ask, well, lets break it down really plain and simple like.

Pros of a free blog
1.) There is no financial strings attached.  If you do something that negatively effects your blog, you really have lost nothing, except some time in order to try and fix what you have done.

2.)Wonderful place to really learn the art of blogging.  Free blogs are a great place to test your technique.  That means your writing style, and your SEO practices.  You can use them to determine what works and what sells and what just completely fails.  I have used my free blogs for just that purpose.  And in the process, I have had some serious failures.  I, in fact have one blog right now that has been slapped by google and taken right down....for, SPAM.  They are calling it a spam blog.  And although it may skate along that hairy edge of being legit and being a little questionable, none of my content on that blog would be something I would consider SPAM.

But I think that is a perfect example of the learning process you may face when beginning to blog yourself.

3.)Blogger and Wordpress.  How you may wonder am I going to call these sites pros?  Well, because they are power houses with huge communities, and that along can generate some traffic. And while having the Term Wordpress, or Blogspot within your url can hinder your place in the search engines.  The reality is, people see these and respect these names.  People who spend time reading blogs are very aware that there are hundreds and thousands of quality bloggers using these tools to start their own blogs.

And what are the CONS of free blogs
1.)You are under the thumb of a larger entity.  Case in point is the blog I mention above.  If I was under my own url with that blog, It would not be wiped out by google.  They would pull my adsense account, but they could not just delete it.  And that is a big deal.  That blog had about 100 posts and tones of content that is now just gone.  Hundreds of backlinks just wasted.

2.)Your URL is a sub domain of a bigger site.  What this means is, search engines give it less value than if it was your own URL.  A site called bloggingforbeginners.com is going to rank better on url alone than my blog, if all other factors are equal.

3.)Customization.  This is a big one, artistic freedom with your content is really big when it comes to proper page layout and structure.  And while both blogger and Wordpress offers a lot of options, they can never compare to the freedom you get with a custom URL.

So, what about a paid blog?  How does a paid blog stack up to a free blog?

Reality is, there is no comparison.  It is so much easier to build a successful blog with your own URL.  One of my paid blogs already has a better page rank than this blog and it has only been around for two months and I have given it almost no attention as far as SEO is concerned.  It just naturally ranks better.

1.)So, Number one Pro would be just that.  Google gives more weight to a paid URL.  It shows a level of commitment that is just not there when you use free blogs.  This means that more time and effort will have to be placed in a free blog in order to rank it within Google.  And this is big, because you will find that you will be spending more time trying to improve your standings in the search engines than you will writing content for your own blog.

2.)Worpress software.  Wordpress is by far and away the best blog software out there.  And it is free.  They have such a large community of great programers and code writers that you will be able to find an limitless amount of templates and widgets for your blog.  Everything you can imagine.

3.)Since of responsibility.  This is of course going to vary from person to person.  But if you are investing your own money into a blog, you will want to see it do well. And you will spend more effort in making sure it is as good as you can make it.

Cons of a paid blog
1.) There really is none, except maybe the fact that it is not free.  That you will be paying for hosting and you will have to pay for a domain name.  Sites like GoDaddy and Host Gator make the costs as reasonable as possible, but you will still be looking at a monthly investment.

Other than that.  I really see no downside to owning your own URL.  So, am I telling you to go out and get one?  No.  I am telling you to look at it all as a bigger picture.  The way I look at this process is, The paid blog is the top of my food chain.  but off that I have several smaller micro niche blogs, I have Hubpages, I have Bukisa articles and other article sites, and I link from all these places.  Some go back to the main blog, some don't.  But my goal and intention is, to create a web of information, because the longer my readers spend reading MY content, the more likely they are to click on something that in some way will make some money for me.  And that is really my intention with the efforts I put into my blogs and other online properties.  I try to provide value with the hopes that I will get something in return. Not asking for anything in return, because that is just not my style.

Thank you for reading blogging for beginners.  I have appreciated the increase in traffic.  It has really been a breath of fresh air in a time when I have had trouble finding ideas for writing.

Blogging for Dollars...Again

That is it, I am don!  I am not spending any more energy on this topic.  I am writing this one last post about how you can make money blogging for the sole purpose of telling you that I have a new place for you, if that is what you’re looking for.

Here, we are mostly interested in teaching blogging for beginners.  We will be focusing on the issues that beginner bloggers encounter and we will talk about how to create a successful blog.  Or at least try and give you the tools in order to create a successful blog.  Because knowing how to create a successful blog and actually creating that successful blog are two totally different beasts.

When blogging for dollars, there is one bottom line factor that needs to be accomplished in order to begin generating any real income.  And that is traffic.  No matter what your primary focus is on monetizing your blog.  Traffic creates customers, customers create income.  It is the way it will always be. 

Now, some topics will always convert better than others, and that is the area I would like to talk a little about today.  Converting readers into sales.  And what types of readers are more likely to convert.

The primary factors to look at when trying to get an idea as to conversion ratio is, the types of people you are going to be attracting, and the product you are trying to sell.  And by that, I mean through ads, through traffic or through the actual product itself.

First lets talk a little about the person you are selling to.  It is easiest if I use some examples of my own to explain this.  I have a blog that gives Video game tips, the video game is free to play, and it is probably targeted for the 15-25 age range.  Now, there are a couple problems with this.  For this blog, I rely on ad clicks in order to generate income on the blog itself.  But first issue, It is a free to play game.  This means that individuals who play this game are not really financially invested in the game, and they are not for a reason, usually they do not have the money to pay for a game, or they are not willing to spend money for playing a game.  This means they are less likely to click on ads.  They don’t want to be sold something; they want their stuff for free.  And I completely understand that mentality.  It is pretty much my mentality regarding video games.  It is now how I want to spend my money. 

Another problem with this blog is, the age demographic.   15-25 year olds tend to be pretty computer savvy, especially ones that play video games on a computer.  And in general, I find that computer savvy individuals are less likely to click on ads.  They know what happens when they do, they are taken away from where they are, and they are “sold” a product.

So, what does this mean exactly?

In general, you want to target individuals who have excess income, and who are willing to spend a little bit of that income in order to get what they want.  It is far more productive to do that by targeting an older audience, or an audience that is rabid about a particular product.  Less computer savvy individuals, and individuals who “Need” what you are pushing.

I am not going to give you the answers.  Only give you the tools in order to find the answers.  These are the tools, and this is the information that is important.  Because the possibilities are endless. 

In my opinion.  The best audience is going to fall somewhere in the range of 30-50.  These are the people who use the internet pretty good, and they have the extra income to spend on purchases over the internet.  This rule is not hard and fast of course.  But it does seem to work pretty well.





Thank you for reading blogging for beginners, hope you come back soon

How can beginner bloggers make money blogging

The biggest problem with the concept of making money through blogging is generating enough blog traffic to keep up with statistical facts.  What I mean is, if you are only seeing 5 unique visitors per day.  The chance of you making any real income through your blog is minimal.  You need real, substantial traffic that believes what you are saying if you are going to have any luck with making money through your blog.

And for beginners, blog traffic sometimes is something that is non-existent.  It is not uncommon for new blogs to see no traffic for days.  No people = no money, it is just a fact.  So, no matter what your method for monetizing your blog, or what your keyword topic may be, unless you maximize your blog traffic, you will not make the money your after.  Patience is key.  I have been feverishly posting to this blog and generating good backlinks and commenting on others blogs and doing all the things I am supposed to be doing, and traffic is still minimal.  I am still only seeing a handful of visitors a day.  Some of that is due to the fact that “Blogging for Beginners” is a fairly competitive market.  Some of that is because the blog has not had a chance to properly age.  Search engines take into account the age of a website when determining where to place it in the SERP.  It is not the most important factor by any means, but a blog that gets constant updates for months will place better than a blog that is only a month or two old and gets random updates.

But, we are not here really to talk about traffic today.  Traffic is something that will come with time.  Today we are here to talk about making money with your blog.  In my previous Blogging for Dollars post, we covered the ways you can use to make money blogging.  Today I do not want to talk about that.  I do not want to talk about adding ads to your blog or affiliate marketing to your blog.  I want to talk about an alternative to this.  Something that in many cases, you may have more luck with.

Previously we have talked submitting content in order to generate solid backlinks.  This is one of the best ways to get really good backlinks.  But not all content sites are created equally.  Sites like Ezine and Hubpages, or Goarticles are the sites that will give you the BEST link juice for your money.  The main reason I use these services is to help generate traffic and page rankings.  But there are other sites on the web that can do something for you as well.  Sites like Helium and Bukisa are two content sites that pay you for page views for the articles you write for them.  It is not much.  Sometimes less than a penny per view, but when you are just starting every little bit counts, right.  The problem with Helium and Bukisa is, they allow you to include backlinks in their articles, but those backlinks are NOFOLLOW links, where the links you get with Hubpages, and Ezine and Goarticles are DOFOLLOW.  So, in reality, creating backlinks with the other two are really not doing a whole lot for you…..It is true that every link has value, but every link is not created equal.  So, with this, you can look at sites like Bukisa and Helium as a way to monetize your blog.  By using your blog as a funnel, AND as a way to get a really nice backlink for your articles. 

Now, let me explain what I do, it may make more sense than me rambling on like I am.

I have a structure to the way I go about my business with my blogs and websites.  I write a post, and after I write my post, I look for ways to generate backlinks for that specific post.  I will write articles to submit to content sites like Ezine and GoArticles, and I start to concept a hub for it.  After I have the article or articles submitted, I write a hub.  And after I write a hub, I write a Bukisa and at Least one Helium article…..Or this is what I try to do…Some times I falter and run out of time…Its why I have a list of hubs that I am supposed to get done and it is not getting any smaller. 

Anyway,  Now I have my content.  I have a blog post, and linked to that blog post I have my content articles, and my hubs.  And then, I link my Helium and Bukisa articles to my hub…Or my blog too, but I am focusing on the hub.  So I have established a hierarchy.  Post>Content=Hubs>Helium=Bukisa. 

But now I want to get views to the Helium and Bukisa articles, because those are the ones that can make me money now.  So, I keep a mental note of them, and when I have the opportunity, I link to my helium and Bukisa articles from a post in my blog.  Or along the side of my blog as other material worth reading.  This way I have created a loop in some ways.  I am turning one visitor into the possibility of being one visitor over multiple pieces of my content.  This is a ways to maximize your earning potential.  Especially for beginner bloggers trying to make money from their blog

Good luck and good blogging.

Thank you for visiting blogging for beginners, and please come back soon!

Writing A Blog Post – Part 2

Suggestions for bloggers
Originally uploaded by kentbrew

I have already talked about how often you should write a blog post. But for my last post of this week, I would like to re hash the issue in a different way. I would like to talk about different ways you can write your blog posts. I would like to cover some options that will help in breaking up the monotony of writing a blog post every single day that looks basically the same as the post from the day before.

Take it from me, it gets BORING! I maintain several blogs, all of which need daily attention, and the thought of keeping up this pace for 6 months, a year, even more is rather daunting to say the least. So, lets cover some of the options in writing a blog post, some of which I am sure you have thought of, but others may be a refreshing change.


The key here is, breaking off from your normal routine is OK to do occasionally, but don’t break your focus. It is extremely important to stay on target and to follow certain principals when maintaining a blog. Adding fun things here and there are nice, but it doesn’t pay the bills… So to speak.

So, what are your options?


1.) First and foremost you have your basic, every day blog posts. They are important, they are the vehicles that bring people in and bring people back. But how can you write daily blog posts about the same keywords? What I try to do is, stick with my primary keywords. In general, for most blogs, that will consist of 1-5 primary keywords. For this blog I concentrate on two. “Blogging for Beginners”, and “Beginner lessons for Bloggers”. But from those two keywords is where everything I do is rooted. You do not have to rewrite the same basic blog post over and over again 100 different ways. It just won’t work, people will lose interest, and you will lose interest. But what keywords can you pull from your primary niche. In more cases, there are hundreds of branching keywords that you can use that will all relate back to your primary keywords. Writing a blog post is a perfect example of a topic that is directly related to blogging for beginners.


2.) Second type of blog post would be a pillar post. To most of you this may be a new term. So, what is a pillar post? A pillar post is a big daddy of a post that is aimed at offering lots of information all surrounding your primary keyword. In many ways this post will wind up being a pillar post for me. It is going to be long, it is going to be informative, it is going to carry my primary keywords, and it is bullet pointed. Which is a whole different topic within itself, but just for general information, readers’ LOVE bullet points, they love numbered out reasoning, they love top ten lists, top five, whatever you can come up with. They are always drawn to that form of blog post, and chances are, if you provide your readers with great pillar blog posts, you will get links to those posts. That is always a positive sign that what you are saying is useful, and impressive. It is important to sprinkle in large and informative pillar posts occasionally. It is also important to spend sometime generating backlinks to your pillar posts. Do not just focus on backlinking to your root URL.


3.) Random, off topic posts is something that can be added from time to time. In general, I would not recommend you have more than one off topic post for every five targeted posts. Your readers are coming to your blog for a specific reason and if they are inundated by a bunch of off topic blog posts, they will leave before they take the time to dig for useful reading. Writing a blog post that is off topic is more for your own mental well being. It can become tiring to constantly write about the same basic premise, sprinkling in something fun and whimsical can be refreshing, mostly for you, but your readers may appreciate it also, it offers a window into you, and gives them a chance to relate on a different level.


4.) Picture posts are something some people will do from time to time. There are certain bloggers out there who have made it a career to post random pictures from around the internet and commenting on those pictures. Adding the occasional picture post that can be related to your keyword topic can be another way to break up the monotony of daily posting. And readers LOVE pictures. And as a side note, ADD PICTURES TO ALL YOUR BLOG POSTS! Don’t go overboard with it, but there are not a whole lot of individuals who are not more receptive to the visual stimulation you get from pictures. In fact, a wall of typing can be intimidating, some people may not even spend the time to read your post if it is 1000 words long and has no pictures. I personally do not spend much time making picture posts. I am trying to cram as much information into my posts as I can, and quite honestly, decorating my blog with pictures is not a strong trait of mine. I am Just am more of a meat and potatoes kinda guy. Also, same as the off topic posts, do not make this a habit unless you are going for that type of blog. Too many pictures and not enough content are not always search engine friendly. Make sure that you write a blog post or two, or 5, or 10 between your picture posts.


5.) Quiz or game style posts are something I am new to. Blogthings.com offers all kinds of little quizzes that you can add to a post in order to add some reader interaction. Don’t get carried away with these either, using blogthings will drive your readers away from your site through a link. That is not really what we are going for, but reader interaction is a good thing.


6.) Writing a post about other bloggers within your market seems counter productive in many ways, you are sending them to your competition in many ways. And while this is true, This type of blog falls in the same category as a bullet point style blog. And since your readers are looking for a specific type of information, sending them to other sites that will provide that information will be endearing to them. They will look at you as an authority in finding the information they need, and that will drive them back to you in the long run.


7.) And finally, contest posts. Offering contests are a sure-fire way to help your blog traffic. People love competition. And they love the opportunity to win something. These posts can be tricky, because not all topics lend themselves to this style post of offering. But if you can squeeze one in, you will most likely reap rewards. That is of course if your blog is already generating regular traffic, if nobody sees you, they will not be looking for something like this. It will become a lost posting.


So, there you go, some options for writing blog posts. There are many other variations of these forms of blog posts but those are something we will cove on another day. Today, as beginner bloggers, we will cover the basics, because at blogging for beginners, we are all about the basics. And in many instances, I question whether or not my content is basic enough. In fact, if you are looking for specific information, please feel free to comment I will work on posts that may revolve around what my readers are looking for. I am here to please and inform as best as possible.


Thank you for reading this beginner lesson for bloggers, and I hope to see you back again at blogging for beginners…. See how I got those keywords in one last time. Keep up the good work and DON’T GIVE UP!

Blogging for dollars – Brought to you by Blogging for beginners

I have not spent any time so far talking about “blogging for dollars”, or as some may call it “make money blogging”.  There is a really, really good reason for this.  This is the bottom line of this beginner blogging lesson:

YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY MONEY BLOGGING – YOU WILL FAIL AND GIVE UP!

Yep, I said it, but let me preface that by saying, you can make money blogging, in fact, blogging for dollars is real and a viable way to make money online.  But, it’s just not gonna happen for you right now. 

There are lots and lots of things for you to learn still.  You have barely got the basics, and even if you understand the basics, if your blog is new, it’s not going to generate enough traffic in order to make any money. 

In the world of blogging for dollars, your primary goal is to generate focused and quality traffic.  Which is completely different than just random traffic.  Blogs can generate random traffic just by being.  It is almost a sure thing that you will have a few page views fairly quickly. But those page views will come from sources that are not prone to lend themselves to generating income.  

Search engine traffic is going to be your most productive source of traffic.  And search engine traffic builds with time.  It is organic and is a natural progression.  Some factors, like age cannot be manipulated.  Backlinking is a process that you should participate in, but the best forms of backlinks are going to come from other sources.  From visitors who find you and find you to be viable.  Those are the people who can create backlinks that pack a punch in your traffic and SERP results. 

So, when I say you will not make any money.  I am referring to initially.  Ten page views a day from Stumbleupon are not going to pay the bills.  Most of the page views that come from bookmarking or social networking sources are going to be quick bounces.  They will not even take the time to read what you have to say unless you somehow catch them within about 10 seconds.

Don’t get discouraged by what I say.  I don’t mean to turn you all off to the concept of blogging for dollars.  It is meant to warn you that this concept seems easy but reality is it can be very difficult to succeed. 

Many people will say that starting your blog right off the bat with monetizing it effects your search engine status.  Some people believe that search engines will index you and see your blog covered in ads or affiliate marketing and they will devalue your blog, considering it spam, and only there to generate quick income.  Personally, it is my belief that you might as well start right off the bat with your monetization.  This will lead to viewers expecting to see the ads on your blog.  If you wait till you develop a loyal and consistent stream of traffic, your regular readers will be put off by the fact that you are now trying to make a buck.  You don’t want to do that.  In my opinion, as long as you keep your form of advertising and marketing respectable, Readers will accept it, and search engines will come around when they realize you are not going anywhere. 

So, what forms of monetization are right for you?
Basically you have a few options here.  I am going to briefly cover all of them but will talk in more detail about each one in later posts.

1.)Ads
Ads are probably the most common way to monetize your blog.  Google adsense being the most popular form of ad advertising.  With this form of advertising you are paid by clicks and views.  Using google is a fine way to monetize your blog.  I use it.  Lots of bloggers use it.  But it is not the only form of ad advertising.  Another very popular form is text ads.  You see them all over the place. If your cursor passes over certain text you get a pop-up.  I don’t use it, mostly because it annoys me and I cannot use something that I find annoying.  There are two very popular companies for that form of advertising.  That being Kontera, and Infolinks.  Since I do not use them, I am not going to give you much insight on them, other than saying I do believe you have to meet minimums with kontera every month or you lose your earnings.  Infolinks I believe does not operate that way.

2.)Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is another very popular way to monetize your blog.  Clikbank is probably the most popular.  This form of advertisement is commission based, and you receive a percentage for items sold through your advertisement links.  Another company that operates much the same way is Amazon.  Amazon associates offer a widget in blogger that is easy to set up.  You can see that I use it.  I have little success with it, but I do not really sell to the products I have advertising within my blogs.  If I tried harder, I am sure it would perform much better.

3.)Your own Product
This is one thing I do not believe enough people take advantage of.  I am just as guilty as the next.  In fact, once I get this blog established, it is my goal that my next blog will be set up to sell my own product. (classified information, I am sure I will announce it when I release)  But blogs can be a perfect advertisement tool for selling your own products and information.

I am sure you can find other opportunities to make money with your blog.  Those are the real basic, bottom line ways to blog for dollars.  And those are the easiest ways to start blogging for dollars.  Most likely the easiest ways for beginner bloggers to start earning money online. 

Don’t worry.  There will be lots more to come about making money blogging.  I just want everyone to realize it should not be your primary focus right now.  Practice, learn how to blog effectively and the money will come with time.
