Make money blogging
October 10th, 2006 at 12:29 PM by Michael KwanA growing number of people — myself included — are starting to make their primary income online. Some have tried selling random trinkets, others may sign up for those sketchy pyramid schemes. I haven’t tried either of those, but since I enjoy writing so much, being a blogger for a living has been a natural fit. But can you make money blogging?
Yes and no. Prominent bloggers, like Darren Barefoot and Ross the Intern, don’t have too much trouble getting enough exposure these days, but what around the rest of us? With the proliferation of sites like MySpace, Blogger, and so on, more and more folks are having a significant online presence, even if a relative small number of people visit their blogs.
Here at Beyond the Rhetoric, traffic has been modest, but this is far from being my primary source of income. The Google ads provide a touch, but I want to dabble in a couple of other streams. One such stream is Blogsvertise. How legitimate they are… well, I don’t know that yet. No harm in trying, though, I guess.
It’s no get rich quick scheme — those never work out — but it’s worth a shot. Are there any services you have tried? Did they work? Were they scams? Leave a comment and let us all in on the action.
