Make money blogging is not as hard as you might have imagined. Thanks to easy to use Content Management Systems like Wordpress, Drupal, Typepad, Live Journal, etc, you can make a blog of your own within 10 minutes. You can also choose from a large amount of free themes and plugins to make your blog fancy and multi-functional.
Write a couple of posts or borrowing other author’s works, and embedding ads or promote affiliate programs on your blogs are easy to implement. Just apply an Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network account, join a couple of affiliate programs, copy and paste the code at your desired places through the theme editing interface and you are done.
The next step will be getting traffic to your blog, and lots of it! You can receive backlinks by various techniques like leaving comments on other peoples’ blog posts, put your link in forum signatures, or even buy backlinks from high Page Rank websites or blogs. Now relax and wait for visitors and sales.
Not much? Only one dollar every day from your blog? “I could make a hundred blogs like this so I can make one hundred dollar each day”, you might think. Yes, you can repeat the above process one hundred times but you will not likely make that $100 on a single day.
Because Google, as well as visitors, don’t like splogs like these. They will be ignored by the search engines soon if they got indexed at all. Traffic is never sustainable for blogs using other people’s articles because of Google’s duplicate content penalty.
Write your own articles, give quality information, let your readers know your own thoughts and opinions about certain topics, and only concentrate on 1, two, or maximum three blogs. That way you will make that a hundred dollar every day and have fun at the same time. In order to make money from blogs, you must provide useful information first. Believe me, it’s much easier to make money blogging from one or two quality blogs than from one hundred splogs!
