    I have a question for all you blog owners. Is anyone making money with their blog.

    When I say money I am talking about $1000 and up per month. Just trying to get a handle on it.

    If you are making money in which ways are you making it. I am not looking for an exact figure.

    If you are not making money I would like to hear from those people who are not making money.

    Click Ads
    Affiliate
    Charging for links

    Thanks
    Dave

    This is what I am looking for, I like to hear from people making money with blogs and those who started a blog and are not making money or getting traffic.

    For those who are making money. How are you making it?
    click ads
    affiliate
    people paying for one way links
    other

    For those who are not making money. What seems to be the problem?

    Not enough traffic
    Not enough content

    Your blog needs to be exciting and needs to be unique from other blogs to get traffic.

    If you have a well established blog you can make $1000 month.

    Adsense + FAN + Sponsored Reviews + Text Links + other = $1000

    It's not easy, but if you're good you can make it.

    Or 'quality' I think would be a better word to use. Quality content.

    It could depend on the niche of your blog how you can make money from it. Most bloggers use Google AdSense which could bring a nice montly revenue stream, than you can expand towards affiliates and private text link or post sales.

    What works for one, it does not mean it can work for you. A tech related blog would mostly perform better with affiliates instead of with PPC programs (my opinion and i have proved it) while other type of blogs perform much better with PPC programs, heavy traffic blogs can make a killer combination of PPC, affiliates, text link ads, paid reviews etc.. If you want to figure a way how you could actually make money (once you have traffic) you might want to take a close lookup on JohnChow.com blog and see how many resources of income he has and how has he used them.

    I blame John Chow for ruining a very healty industry. Because of people like him, we now have people with no content and/or originality wanting to make $1000s a month.
