    Ok so I was thinking of hitting up some niche topics with blogs. I have all the tools need to see whats not too hot but not too dead etc. Anyways I was thinking of doing a test where I set up say 10 blogs and one by one. I want each blog to make 2 bucks a day. Is this possible with adsense? I hear alot of people do good with blogs, but alot of others say stay away.

    Blogs can make money if you do it right. However, do this, you need unique quality content and you need to keep coming out with new content. Basically, you need to give your readers a reason to go to your site. This might be hard to do with 10 different blogs. I would start with one, make sure it is good and gets traffic and move on to do more blogs, without forgetting about your first one.

    thanks cmpolis, but can I eventually make like 100 bucks a day? Thats my goal right now. I have a plan to target the smaller niches and get a higher page ranking. I have it all worked out theoritcally. Its time to put the plan to action! The hardest part for me is finding the right niches but im getting it done. Im gonna start with one site at a time and provide quality updated info like you said. Does anyone here know of anyone that makes the type of money im talking about from blogs?

    I have to disagree. If you have around 40-60 decent articles per blog (200+ words) there is no reason you shouldn't be making at least $2 each per day per blog. If you produce only 1-2 articles per day you should be able to achieve your goal within 10 months.

    I think it depends on how much traffic you get on your blog, so it's not necessiraly you'll have enough traffic, it depends how you promote it.

    You can make $100 a day from blogging and in fact you can do it with even just one blog. However, the fact that you can doesn't mean that you will make $100 a day. Making money with blogs is a long tail situation. The biggest blogs ala TechCrunch, Gigaom and Engadget are making 10s of thousands of dollars a month. Then there are lots of other small to large blogs that make a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars a month and then there is a whole lot of blogs that make less than $10 a month.

    Whether your blog(s) will be in the head or tail of this distribution depends on your content and marketing. However, you will never know for sure unless you try it out and this is what you should do especially given that you already have some ideas about niche topics.

    I say go for it and let us know how it works out. I wish you the best of luck!

    You can earn a lot of money from blogs but not from adsense in blogs. Your blog should really be popular to earn at least $20 in one day.

    Thanks guys. I was actually expecting alot of negative comments. This really gets me motivated. If you don't mind me asking DarrenC are you making 100 bucks a day yet? I really think I can do this, I really have a organized plan this time as opposed to other adsense campaigns I did in the past with websites.

    yea I was also of course going to add clickbank and stuff like that.

    I do real well with my blogs. They are PR4's and I have made over $100 in one day.. Easy,

    check them out,

    http://www.thatbigdog.com
    http://www.zifit.org
    http://www.blogsift.com

    All you need to do is creat unique content and people go nuts over that kind of stuff, but it is not a solid business because you never know who needs paid blog posting. I will do a blog post on all 3 for $29.95, and all content is unique.

    Smitty I dont see your adsense boxes on those blogs. Am I missing something? Also can I use blogger.com or will that not do as good?

    Adsense account for 10% of the revenue I earn on my blog.

    Don't think though that you can create a blog and you'll instantly make money. It took me 14 months before I started to earn a good income, and now my blog makes more than my main business!

    I sell contextual links, there is no adsense code on the site. I know that it is posted in "adsense", but he asked if there was any money to be made in blogs and I responded.

    Blogging is a great way to earn money online for any unprofessional webmasters, but you need the skills of writing on various topics, should be updated with regular frequency and mainly have patience and keep blogging..

    Always giving advice is pretty simple and implementing them is the toughest part...

    To earn good money, blog sincerely and wait for 5-6 months. Add unique content regularly and optimize them for SEO and adsense.
