    I was just curious, i know that people make money from their websites , but do you earn something from your blog or you do it just for the pleasure to blog?
    Myself i am currently earning 30 dollars/month from the blog,it is not much but it is still something.
    Looking forward to your answers.

    Hi nickflame,

    I have a personal weblog rather for my pleasure than for money. I'm blogging about IT and my life. When Google Adsense was launched in our country then I've added some ads to try make some money. It is good feeling when you make money and you have pleasure from it at once.

    To the future I'm planning to run more professional and more to "business" oriented blog, because I would like to earn more money from blogging.

    Could I ask you what's your blog about?

    blogs are just a different way to manage and organize information, if the content is good you can monetize a blog just like a traditional website ( if not better)

    I have my own blog. Its good you are earning $30/m. NOt bad. But I m earning just $2-3/m. Thats too bad.

    I know some peoples who are making $1000/m from blog. It depends on your blog posts and content..

    SO keep posting and convert $30/m to per day.

    Heartly Wishes

    Right now it is pleasure. It is hard to seriously think about money until it is self hosted, and the stats come up.
    However, there is a plan in the works to monetize it in the future.

    Yes, depi my blog is about chemistry as i am a chemistry fan.
    It is a very small niche, but the ctr and ecmp are pretty good because it is so specific.
    well not to many are earning from blogs as i see?
    By the way where is your blog hosted? mine is blogspot-the most popular i guess.

    I'm having a good time sharing my experiences and knowledge about small business success and operation. I also monetize it using PayPerPost (see my sig). I bring in about $600-$700 a month from it.

    I'm adding a second blog to it in a couple days and hope to double the income.

    $30/mo?
    I think it's easy to earn $30/day,I just don't have the time.
    Can I know your blog address?

    You can put adsense on your blog to earn money.

    I do it mostly as a hobby, and as a creative outlet. I don't earn a lot but what I do earn covers my hosting fees and can buy me a small holiday every year. So I'm happy with that.

    I use 3 kinds of services:
    AdSense
    ValueClick
    Text-Link Ads

    TLA are my biggest source of income.

    I have my blog hosted on a shared hosting on my own domain. The hosting is sponsored by the hosting company, so my only fees are for the domain. You can find a link to it in my profile, but don't be scared - it is written in Slovakian.

    I earn some money from my blogs but earnings are quite erratic as offers don't come by that often. I also earn from other online means besides blogging.

    My blog is only 16 days old. My goal is to work my butt off, until it is making
    1k per month. (I know it will take time.)

    I'm not making any money, yet. But, I have received several nifty cooking-related products (free of charge), to review. :)
