How Long to Really Monetize a Blog?

    I am starting a new blog idea within the coming week, and I am wondering how much time it would take to fully monetize the blog into making enough money daily that I can do it full-time. If I post and market 12 hours a day every day for 2 months, is that enough time? Or maybe 5 months, a year?

    It took me about 2 months to get my blog to earn about 150 $ a month (it will probably increase even more), but im not sure that one blog is enough to earn money for living. If you make a few blogs (4-5) it should be enough.

    If you work that hard ie 12 hrs per day and two months, then i am sure you can earn from your blog.
    My suggestion is go for a niche, use on page and off page seo.
    If possible go for multiple blogs, use your own domain, you can't have adsense on free blogs.
    I am sure you can earn decent money if you market your blogs properly.

    If you plan to plan earning a living full time with blog,then you need to do a lot of work such as SEO,blog commenting.
    And be sure that you need to have unique content to attract more user come to your blog.
    Roughly it take 2 year to make it full time.

    Grab a few offers from CPA networks and place them there too, could also dedicate entire posts to them once in a while if they're really hot in your niche

    I have to agree with mentos. Blogs are long term income and hard work. At the beginning its worst than a full time job. I recommend making a blog post or 2 daily. Do your SEO, a ton of blog commenting, and network with other bloggers.

    If the aim is to go full time you would want to start more then one site.

    I am planning on running about 3 blogs total, but I am starting small by working my way up with one. Once this one blog starts showing some progress, I play to buy the domain for my next and build that up as well.
