There are so many advertisements out there about blogging your way to the bank. There seem to me many persons who actually make a living from this, is there anyone here who knows much about this?

I have seen some of these ads too and I am a little skeptical about them (but then, I'm a born skeptic). I think if blogging to the bank was as easy as the ads say, no-one would need to advertise.

I've seen the ads and read about it quite a bit. It seems to me that if you want to make bank at it, you have to have several blogs, with lots of readers, and ads, and do reviews, or be a paid blogger in some way. To me, it feels like selling out. blogging, my blogging, is personal and I don't want google ads on it.

I do believe that is something that can actually work and make money, but you have to be committed. I started two personal blogs and it's really to keep up with them.

I don't know many that have been paid a ton for blogging but I do know some that run ads on their sites and make a few bucks each month. Its nothing to really pay bills but I'm sure each penny helps.

I have a friend who blogs for a paid site. She doesn't make a ton of money doing it, about $4 a day I believe, but hey, that will buy some groceries! I applied for a few, but they are hard to get on with and they get tons of apps. I have never heard back from any of them. The one my friend blogs for is not hiring right now.

I want to start a blog from when my littles ones can at some point take over themselves with another username. It shouldnt be that hard as long as I remember each year to pay for the domain and think it would be a cute thing too.

I have heard of some people who make a little at blogging, but I think it is unrealistic to think you are going to make a full time income from it. I am sure there are those who have, but they have been around for a long time and have made it a full time job as well.

Getting enough money from paid blogging does normally involve alot of work. There is something of magic in getting the right amount of traffic, ads, articles, and paid posts that makes for the optimization of making money. I know I've been blogging for about a year on a rather easy scale and have made about $100, but I don't spend more than an hour a week on it. Many people I talk to who make $100 a day have several blogs, many times not about what they want to bog about so much as what niche makes money.

I think the perfect situation would be to find a paid blog that is something you want to blog about already! I have a blog that I don't get paid for, but I just need to write sometimes!! I would be overjoyed if I could get a paycheck for that!!
