Nothing works in this world without getting involved. Though I am not the so called guru here, I strongly feel that the following are the Ten best tips to make money online from Blogging. About me. In the current blogging world, one who is without a face is almost treated like a spammer. I'm sure you don't want to be treated like that. Even if you make tons of money online, the believing point is only when you show the check. When that happens, think about your total blog. It has got to be definitely represented with a human face or even better with a video. I'm myself planning an About me video in my Money Making Tools Blog(http://money-making-tools.tipsonclicks.com) and you can expect that very soon . Pick a niche and work hard on it. I know of bloggers who started to blog about Insurance, Law and what not just to earn big revenues from Adsense. Please stay away from what you can't do unless you are a professional or have some connection in the niche you want to blog about. Once you figure out your niche, work hard and stay focused to see what is happening in that niche. For example, it you take this Money Making Tools blog, I'm consistently trying to improve the user experience in the blog and I'm very confident that I'll adapt all the best money making tools while i am also blogging about it. The whole idea for this blog was to learn and let others know of the tools I come accross. It gives me immense pleasure when I can make money and also help others with the knowledge to make money. My ultimate goal would be to earn a residual income from this blog and also earn some great minded fellow bloggers as friends. Am I asking more?. Don't be greedy.

Also, don't be greedy of what your fellow bloggers are making. If someone is making more money, it should be from their best efforts. Try and achieve what others are doing but approach it like a student. Remember, there is always a guru above us and that is the slogan or mantra to make money online.

The key to making money online on any platform is research. Research your audience. Research the product or niche. Research how and why they need your information.
Hey hmansfield, Thanks for your comments. I uderstand that research is the key but the post i meant here was to build credibility to your blog. It is about an effort that every blogger should take and then step ahead in what you say in trying to analyze the audience and also analyze the statistics with tools like Google Analytics. Anyways, thanks again for passing your thoughts. Swamy
