Hi everyone, how are you today? Someone asked me a question today. Can you make any money from blogging? I don’t think there is money in blogging unless you are very lucky. Most of the money bloggers get are from advertisements and affiliates. I’m not really an expert at blogging either. I have only been blogging since September and I am here for the sole reason of helping people. But, there are some very successful bloggers that make 6 digit monthly incomes. Johnchow.com is one of the best known bloggers around the world right now. He talks about everything, not just things he’s good at doing. His blog makes a 6 digit income every month.

Just because someone else is making good money blogging, doesn’t mean you will also. It’s like hitting the lottery sometimes. Advertising is one thing, but to have a following of readers is another. You have to make your blog original and unique. Copy cat blogs don’t really get much attention these days. Offer your readers something that other bloggers are not offering. Free advice that is usually paid for is a great start. To me, information is free to give away. Only a small percentage of people will put the information you give them to use. Even if you are really good at catching peoples attention with your words, you still need more for a blog to make money. Flashy and outrageous or plain and simple? You never know with a blog. It can be hit or miss.

I have seen some really good blogs that don’t get any regular readers. I have seen some really bad blogs get lots of readers. It’s all in how you advertise, as well as what your target audiences are. I am not saying you can’t make money blogging. But I wouldn’t quit your day job to start blogging. Chances are, it won’t pay the bills or rent. I don’t make much with this blog. But I love to help people. I do put a lot of time and effort into this blog. But to me; I feel good knowing I am helping people start a business the right way. I know a lot about home business with over 9 years experience. So I am blogging about something I know best. At the same time, I am keeping people aware of scams and pointing them in the right direction to start their own home business.

Think about it; I am sure you have read someones blog and said to yourself, “they don’t know what they are talking about”. Half the time the blogger just does the copy and paste routine. They can spread bogus information and not even know it. The worst part is; they probably read and believe the garbage they are posting everywhere. That’s the main reason I started blogging about home business. I wanted to help people with good information, instead of selling them on some bogus opinionated advice. There are too many blogs about home business with terrible misleading information. That’s my motivation to keep my blog clear of bogus of false information. Just factual evidence from my experiences.

If you have some expertise in certain areas, you could start a blog to set things straight. You never know, you could make a difference. There are lots of people who read blogs. People tend to believe what they read without any proof. Take your expertise and show them the right way to do things. Your motivation shouldn’t be money if you are thinking about starting a blog. You don’t even have to help anyone like me. You could start a blog about everyday things. You never know, there is different taste of writing for everyone.
