    I agree. It would take you 5-6 months before you will see any real traffic for your site then add some affiliate links and sell contextual links.

    Nah! There's no money in blogs. They only bring a lot of traffic and Paypal payments :D

    Blogs are just another website platform. They will make money if you work at it.

    I only get about $1 to $1.5 a day from AdSense. But through Feedburner Ad Network, I made $48.37 last month. (This month, for some crap reason FAN ads don't appear anymore on my blog...so only $6.91 this month so far :()

    I see that you only have 50 subscribers to your feed. I thought that you would need more than that to get into FAN. I am really amazed that you can make almost $50 dollars with Feedburner. I should probably try and get some of my blogs on it.

    When I submitted my blog for FAN approval, I think I had only 20 subscribers. But it had PR4 and good no. of genuine external links. So may be I was approved.

    If I blog regularly (about 3 posts a day) and if FAN were to work as it did in the earlier months, making $100/month combined shouldn't be a difficult task.

    Getting to $2 per day is definitely doable. I don't blog religiously, and that's my own damn fault. But I do notice my revenue is directly tied to my posting. For an example, a few of us have a group blog at the six figure challenge link in my sig. It's revshare, where we get paid for our posts (and my ads are on the general pages because I manage and host it). When I don't post, I make maybe $.30 - 1 per day (with the occasional day here and there where I earn nothing at all). If I post 4-5 posts in a day (and can be short ones), I usually get $2-4 for that day. It's been a really direct correlation, even though I'm only tracking rev on the general pages and my own posts. That blog only went live in October or November at that.

    My PR blog is the same way, although it's newer so a little less money from it, and I post less.

    If you're going to run ten blogs, in niches people want to read about, and can post regularly, you'll reach $2 / day with a bit of time and promotion. :) As for $100 per day, that would take longer, and would depend if you mean per blog, or total revenue daily for the 10 blogs.

    Blogs definitely make a lot of money.. I think collaborating with other bloggers to set up blogs can be very helpful when you have too much to do.

    There is money in everything whether it be a blog or a website....if you are prepared to spend your time updating it constantly.

    Well after reading so many replies one can do wonders here on DP. Thts right, this motivates the person even who is dead. I dont have much suggestions as i think all of the things are pretty covered in all the replies. However i want you to suggest to some of the things that are part of basics and i think noboday had covered assuming you know it. Still to make the things lot better for other people i would like to quote some important points.

    1. Always post your article to directories, once they are indexed, and you want traffic.

    2. SEO is very much important and please take care of this. No matter how much you are righting and how much you are posting, if you dont have good SEO techniques you cant suceed in your goal.

    3. Better point is to decide niche and start the blogs one by one, because if u r gonna start 10 blogs or 15 blogs, its really tough as you would not been able to concentrate better on the blogs.

    WEll i think its now all set and in the future we all would appreciate the success stories of urs and how you applied the suggestions to make 0 -100$ .
    So i am waiting for the it!!!!

    Best Of Luck
