Where should I start?

    I have just started working on my first blogger blog. I will use this blog to collect money for my driver's license and my first car. I will also accept donations.

    What's the best way to promote this type of blog? How can I make more money with it? Should I use AdSense or...?

    Thanks in advance!

    I would suggest that you provide a service in exchange for money, I've use adsense before however I didn't make much money (I'm not saying you can't money from adsense because there are a lot of people making money from it) and to promote it maybe make a video and put it on Youtube.

    Do you think I could offer services in exchange for money and collect cash for my car that way?

    In a new blog, I think you can not make much money using adsense. To do so, you have to attract traffic first. That's not an easy work. Do you have any other idea for collecting donations like ad in social media, email request etc?

    People always searching a new blog this is very beneficial for your, promote your blog to relevant site
    and after that you take ads from your site , related to your products.

    I would focus on getting my very first optin! Step 2 focus on follow up! Step 3 focus on offering value. Step 4 figure out what you can sell and sell it in the follow up not the site. 99% of my sales are follow up, and I have made 1000's of sales online and I think it's a mistake to push it on the site it can be done but you got to be good, if you suck like me it's 100 times esier in the follow up then direct selling. Just my 2 cents take it for what it's worth. Good luck 2 u!

    In order to fully avail adsense, your blog must have a reasonable number of visitors, otherwise it won't be of much use to you.

    Yes, I know but I will add AdSense from the start!

    What's the best way to get those first visitors, if you have a blog like mine?

    Blog commenting, i think it's a better way to get more traffic, since there are lots of people doing this.

    The best way would be through Guest posting,

    Guest posting can provide a large amount of traffic for you website. Its important though when you write a guest post that you make it epic content, The best writing ever. Because this is another users first impression of you, how your article sounds is going to determine if that user will visit your website after.

    There are many many great other ways, be creative as you can.

    I wouldn't use blogger. You don't own that site google does. At anytime google can wipe your blog out. Get your own domain and hosting. You can use adsense but it will take loads of traffic to see some money. I would go to clickbank and see if there is a product related to what your blog is about and promote that product. Write reviews about that product, find out what people want what type of questions are they asking write about that type of things..

    Pick a niche and apply Adsense and CPA offers on it. Promote it via social media/forum marketing and even some SEO if you have time or money to spend. Make sure your driving targetted traffic towards your site and not random traffic.

    The best way, espeically if your trying to buy a car.. I wouldn't use blogger. I would get a regular domain with hosting. You can then build up the website, monetize it using adsense or other advertising methods, once its producing you could flip it for 6times or 8 times what it makes in a month, leaving you with a lump sum of money to buy a car or pay for what you need to pay for. granted its easier said than done, and that process can be an extremely long one, but hard work will pay off.

    ebegging is not very successful usually. Better to follow the advice of previous posters. Provide something of value instead of asking for value.

    You can promote it on social media, forums, social bookmarking, blog comments, article marketing, classified ads, seo...just to name a few. I really wouldn't try Adsense until you have a LOT of traffic coming to your blog every day. Traffic = money. Good luck! Remember, stay persistent and don't give up. :)
