What do you think of blogging online as an income resource?

  1. It works great. I am earning

    Hi all.

    I am thinking of setting up a blog. I abandoned this plan but have been very generously offered help by DaUserBarMaker in doing this and has once again spurred on my inspiration. I am fairly new to this website and hopefully the community will help me. The difference this time, is that I am not alone. I will try to include everything so that if any of you want to, you can help.

    PLEASE, THIS IS BIG. I HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER BUT MY GRATITUDE (believe me, If I had any money I would donate). WILL YOU REPLY?

    I have some plans (dreams :mad:)

    1. Create a blog
    2. Add in some PPC advertising or the sort to make money via PayPal or E-gold (this eliminates Google Adwords)
    3. Receive traffic and visitors

    I also have some even bigger PROBLEMS.

    Problem Section 1

    I have not managed to find a free blog host that I feel comfortable with. The blog needs to be something where I can freely post about Online Earning and Marketing and related sources (basic concept) and ALSO at the same time allow inserted codes.

    Excluded list:
    www.blogger.com - More of the 'personal' blog. Not my type.

    I am in great need of reviews for the following websites below:

    www.wordpress.com

    Currently that is the only website that I know of.

    Problem section 2:

    Let's say that I managed the crazy idea of creating a blog that allows advertising codes and get started with a few posts. Now I want to actually earn a little something from it.

    QUESTIONS:
    Do blog's allow those ad's you see like in Google Adwords with the bar on the side? Or is it contextual advertising?
    What are some preferred advertising solutions? Has anyone made money on blogs like this?

    I am confused, a total newbie and have no idea where to start.

    ANY generosity with helping would be much appreciated. I cannot express how many times I have given up trying to create a working blog. I feel as if it is a great challenge. Perhaps to those of you who can create a good, easy earning blog as easy as 1, 2, 3, I heartily congratulate you. If so, please share your experiences with me.

    Knowledge is priceless to me. I would also like to know what people think of blogging for sharing experiences and earning.

    Many thanks to all the community,
    VTTE

    Try shoutpost. I think that is the name. Easy to use blog but you can only use thier template so your limited on ad space.
