Blogging for Money

If your interested in blogging for money I think I should warn you of some of the pitfalls you may indure. Many people build small niche sites to generate adsense revenue, which is a rather effective method. However it seems odd how few people look to blogs as potential for being niche sites. It's simple pick a topic, put a ton of content on your blog and throw in an affiliate program like adsense ro clickbank and presto you're in business. It's probably best to use a blogging software that uses categories like wordpress, and set your post to a daily archive. In a sense the blog has become a mini niche site. I have to warn you though blogging for money is not as easy as it sounds, since the blogospere(amount of people blogging) is growing at such a fast rate. A good percentage of the blogs out today are spam blogs and contain content scraped from other site's or posted using a automatic posting software like RSStoblog. It's a highly competive game so pick your niche carefully if you hope to earn a significant amount of money. There's also the writing aspect of blogging for money. It goes far deeper than just providing good content. Here's a few things to consider, 1.What will be your writing style?(readers will often come back to blogs if they like the authors style and ability to provide a welcoming place to gain information) 2. Will you be able to maintain regular post to your blog? (which I'll admit I've done a poor job of on this blog in particular) 3. Will you be able to blog about the topic of your blog for an extended period? (It's okay if you don't know much about your topic, but you must be willing to learn all that you can). 4. Will you be able to respond to comments ,and questions posted by your readers? These are just a few things to consider I'll go into detail on this topic in a later post.
