Blogging profit won’t come from reading an article, but by putting together all the ideas roaming around in your head and acting. It takes writing skill, which consists of the obvious of writing each day, while also some less than obvious tactics to producing a successful, profitable blog while working from home. With that said, you need to know the basics of earning blogging cash in order to make it. This guide shows you how.
The huge benefit for professional bloggers, especially in today’s economic climate, is the fact they can build a work from home career. But, bloggers don’t make any money! They make pennies on the dollar for each article … have to write for years to gain any readers … and number in the millions! True, to a sense. I have made thousands of dollars in a matter of months working as a part time blogger. I work from home. I write when I want. I get paid all the time for blogging work, mostly paid posting work.
The reality is you can make it as a blogger. Here’s how I see the whole idea that bloggers cannot make money, or at least good money. There are more professional bloggers making a living than professional novelists. There are millions of blogs, tens of millions, and plenty making good money off blogging. There are thousands and thousands of novelists, but maybe 100-200 actually support themselves solely from novel writing. There is the argument that novel writing is an art form of love. Blogging sometimes is the same, yet it’s a business. Blogging is the work from home career catching interest.
So how do you make blogging cash?
Paid Postings – The Goods:
Paid posting sites may be your bread and butter in the initial year of blogging. I’ve worked with, and made decent money writing for, sites like Blogitive, LoudLaunch, Pay Per Post, and Blogging Ads. The highest amount for an ad I posted was about $30, for 150 words. It took me ten minutes. But, there is a problem.
Paid Postings – The Problem
Google! They don’t like paid posts on blogs, lowering your page ranking. My blogging payments went down recently, namely because I got greedy and posted dozens of paid ads on my blog. Even if you only toy with paid blogging sites, they can lower a respectable page ranking in a matter of weeks. One theory suggests you can get around this by putting No Follow Tags in your paid posts. It gets complicated. My advice is to build passive income first, seeing if it’s successful, and then trying a paid posting site on one or two blogs. Which leads to another point.
Create More than One Blog – Create More Work from Home Riches!
At one point I was running six blogs, bringing in decent pay while just republishing old material. That is a bit problematic, as most blogs need at least 4 posts a week to stay strong and continue getting readers. Start with one, push toward building 2-4. Use passive income in the beginning.
Defining Passive Income
Passive income is the answer for many bloggers, even using simple Google Adsense brings in profits for thousands of bloggers. It’s not as easy to build a high paying blog, but it does work, especially for top bloggers who have thousands of regular readers. Don’t fill your pages with ads, but this is a business and you need to get paid for your time.

The final step is to just keep at it. I brought up novels. You think most novelists sold their very first novel, written in one year? No. They kept writing. So you should continue blogging, but still have the business sense to know what’s making you money and what isn’t. If one blog isn’t doing anything, but another is growing quickly and earning you more money, it’s obvious you focus on the high paying blog.
