I think the important to get more money from our blog is the traffic. The more people access to our blog then the more chances we will get extra money. Advertising is another factor for the successful of our blog.
You can make money People just have to care about the stuff you post, so you need some form of fame, really.
Personal blogging is a tough thing to do. but if you keep believe on what you want, others will follow. Just a view. So try what you want to. You can have a test blog on blogger and if it works you can shift it over your hosting n domain.
A lot of people with personal blogs brand themselves. When people trust them and go to them for coaching and stuff, they can make big bucks.
There are so many personal blogs and most of them make quite lot of money as long as they contain valuable contents.
Agree with you so much !! look at pat flynn , David Risley and the likes are raking in some heavy cash ....
In theory yes.you can but in practice- god knows how many percentage of bloggers earn sizeable money ?
You can most definitely make money from a personal blog. There are loads of examples on the web. Yaro Starak has a very successful blog about blogging and making money online. He makes money on it through a number of different methods, which he has discussed in numerous articles on the blog. I would check it out. I have been a faithful reader for awhile now. John Chow is another, as is Darren Rowse at Problogger, just to name a few. Really, it is a matter of having quality information on a topic that people want to read about, inspiring trust/confidence in your readers, getting targeted traffic to your site and knowing how to monetize the site. I would say tostart by looking at the blogs set up by successful bloggers and dissecting what they do. Good luck with your blog
if your blog is worth investing something money in then yes, but if its just some rushed article then most likely no.
