    What is your blog? Make money by blogging is much harder than it seems. If you are not willing to put in time and effort, blogging is not really your cup of tea.

    Either improve the quality of your content, start marketing your blog effectively, or stop blogging. If you at least have PageRank, you could attempt to sell some text link ads. However, if you do that, you may not have your PageRank for long if you get penalized by Google.

    What should you do? Read my blog! If you want to learn more about internet marketing, making money online, SEO, and all that stuff to get you started with your online business (in this case, your blog), you should go ahead and check it out. I'm not trying to be spammy here, but I'm just giving one suggestion. :p

    Anyway, here's my real tip: read other blogs. Seriously. You can not learn how to make money online if you don't know other bloggers who do. It's all about experience and the skill to follow what others are doing. If you can do that, you'll start making hundreds of $$$ every week like me. :)

    Break their legs. Or maybe a finger, so they can't type.


    On a serious note though, what kind of being paid are you looking for ? Maybe you could apply as a writer somewhere & use your blog as a reference.

    By whom are you not being paid ?

    Companies that pay you to post have their terms and conditions clearly listed out when you join.

    Posters are right, blogging for money is hard work. constantly updating blogs and coming up with fresh ideas for posts is usually required.

    My earnings have levelled out now and I'm finding it hard to motivate myself to come up with new ideas
