My blog is not intended to make money, just keep me connected with people and share some of what I have learned.

But there are those who make a full time living at blogging. Top earners pull in over $1 million a year, just from one blog site (exact pecking order changes through time).

That’s not to say anyone and everyone can earn $1 million a year, merely to say there is money in blogging: good money. Whether blogging for cash is right for you depends on your temperament. Not everyone can write, for sure.

But blogging isn’t about being a “writer”, it’s more about being a personal communicator. If you have something to say and could say it to your friends over a coffee, you can blog. For sure.

All you really need is a passion or interest and an attitude! Read more »

A quick search on Google for “Make Money Online” will bring up a myriad of different methods of making money online. Unfortunately the majority are pure scams.

People often associate Internet Marketing with scams. They couldn’t be further from the truth. When I teach people how to make money online I teach business. Creating your own information product to sell online. There are other methods too. For example you could set up affiliate pages and sell other people products to earn commissions.

One of my new favorite methods to start making some good cash on the internet is blogging.

While I don’t use it on this blog, I do blog for traffic which builds my list. I can then recommend products and services to my list to generate revenue. I could also pimp out my blog to advertisers but I’m not looking to do that on this blog.

My mom (Lorraine Wellman - Greatest mother in the world) is a GREAT example of blogging to pull in massive traffic.

She loves to write. Not only that, she’s great at it. So my Dad showed her how she could set up her own blog on Wordpress.com

Every single day she’ll post articles that she writes on things that interest her. From Oprah to scientific discoveries, she’ll write about it.

She is now getting over 1,000 unique individuals going to her blog every single day. That’s over 30,000 people looking at what she writes every month.

So how did she do it?

She wrote.

It was simple for her, write every day on topics that are big in the media. Politics, war, TV shows, etc. It started with 10 - 15 people reading and grew every day. In fact I think she’s only been posting for about 6 months (maybe less).

How can she turn that into cash?

Advertising. She could get people looking to pay for text link advertising and put their ads on her blog (a sponsor if you will). Adster is just one of those type of companies that allow you to buy and sell text ads.

My moms even inspired me to follow a passion I have and now I’m getting ready to launch my own tech blog that I’ll support with advertising. It’s an enjoyable hobby of mine to write about technology and science so why not get paid to do so :)
