How do i get my blog to do good and make a little extra cash?

[isela e]

I am a full time mother and need to make a little extra cash to help my husband out who works all day so I started a blog....http://cupcakeandcoffeetalk.blogspot.com/ but I have no luck getting traffic on to it. Does anyone one have some suggestions? Not smart remarks!

I heard a statistic that basically amounted to the fact that very few people will make money with a blog. I can't remember the exact statistic.

However... you could try MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Bebo - these sites have hundreds of millions of people registered on them.

I don't know much about blogspot but if you can add keywords to it... great.

I found something recently with yahoo where they put your link at the top of it's search results for selected listings and you pay every time someone clicks on your link... this might help?

Similarly, if you put a couple of key words on your page many times this will boost you up the listings of many search engines.

Have you tried to research google/yahoo/askjeeves/etc to see what they have to offer for you to get at the top of their result lists?

Make your own business cards, fliers, etc, to hand out.
