Introduction
This is a detailed guide about how to make money online by writing a blog (for e.g. from this blogspot). As compared to other methods to make money from home like online data entry jobs or freelance writing, blogging for income is perhaps the most powerful method of making money online and at the same time having fun. Yes, making money from the internet, by sitting in front of your computer.
If you do not have a blog or a high traffic website and would like to build one, you may be interested in reading about Site Build It!.
When Investo Blog was started in August 2008 the intention was not to make money from my online activities. Since I had a full time enjoyable job, I had no intentions at all to make money from home by quitting my job. It was just a casual blogging attempt which to my surprise turned into an important income source. Now, after about 6 months of blogging, i earn over $1000 per month from my blog. That, for me is a already a significant amount of money, and especially since this entire blog income comes purely from my online activities. Based on past traffic patterns, it is my guess, that I am only a couple of months away from achieving an income of $100 per day. Although, as compared to other bloggers, this is not a tremendous amount of money, what surprised me is that it is possible to achieve this level of income in less than a year.
Stunning discovery: I have recently discovered that the income I get by displaying Adsense and Chitika together is significantly more than my Adsense income alone. Thank you Chitika !. If you have visitors from U.S and Canada who come directly from Google or Yahoo, I strongly recommend you try Chitika (place it right above the title or below the post title). However only quality blogs are accepted by Chitika. Be sure to boast about your blog when you apply. More info on Chitika.
I would like to however caution every new blogger that merely writing a blog does not guarantee that you will make money online. There are some bloggers who earn a lot of money, well over $15000 per month while majority of bloggers barely manage to make $10 per month from the totality of their online activities including blogging. Have you wondered why some bloggers make thousands while others barely cents? Read this guide in detail if you want to find out why this happens and what you as a blogger can do more to make money efficiently from your blogging and related online activities.
