Make Money Online with a Blog

Yesterday was our second weekly meeting for our new Austin Cash Flow Team (ACFT). I will post details about the meeting here soon, but one thing we spent a little time on was making money with blogs.

I've been doing this myself for several months now. The income has not been anything too spectacular so far, but it is increasing a little bit each month, and I've not been marketing it (them) nearly as much as I could be.

I've posted about making money from blogs on this site before, and it might well be worth going back for a second look, but I thought I would post again after our talk last night, and a renewed interest.

It was also quite a coincidence (if you believe in those things) that Kim Komando had a few minutes of her radio show devoted to talking about a recent Wall Street Journal article about how many (more active) bloggers were making from $2,000 - $10,000 from their blogs.... PER MONTH !

Although that DOES seem to be a little high on the expectation chart for most bloggers around the world, I am still very aware of several bloggers I know who post their monthly earnings at quite substantial levels.

Another report Kim spoke about (I didn't catch the site or name) was reporting that 45% of all blogs made over $100/month, and 1/6 made over $1,000/month. Certainly not getting rich, but not a bad side income... working anywhere in the world.... at any hour... in your PJ's !

I decided to poke around VERY briefly and found these two articles:
Can Bloggers Make Money?
Consumer-Product Blogs Start a Web Empire

One of the most common ways these bloggers are doing it is by using some advertising campaign, such as Google Adsense. It's really very easy to get started.. and best yet... FREE !
Here is a little link to an easy to read site that can help you get going:

Enjoy !
