Can I make Money by Internet blogging?

[Doodled]

Yes you can but it might take years.

Most people who claim to be making the "dough" simply by blogging are then trying to flog you a book or service about how to make money by blogging. If you had a look in their bank accounts you would be as disappointed as they are.

You can set up a blog for free on WordPress and put some Google Ads on it. You'll need about 100 visitors to make $1 depending on your field. If it's not one that appeals to advertisers they won't make high bids and you won't earn much when someone clicks.

Your better off to think of your blog in multiple ways. Write it as a service where you are putting genuinely useful information out there (this will get people to link to you so you rank better in the search engines). Allow people to comment (this creates extra content for your site) and discuss their comments with them on your blog.

Then one day ... that day could be months or years coming ... you will start to establish yourself as an authority in the field. Not only will you be able to start earning from advertisements, you can also promote your own book or film or whatever.

The tricky bit is getting to that "one day" and it's where most people usually give up and fail.
