What Does It Really Take?

Making money from blogging isn’t difficult. There I’ve said it. I should have told you I’m a total genius, big myself up and impress you. Well it’s not true. I just happen to be really stubborn. I’ve kept working away over the years finding out what works and what doesn’t. Taking the knocks and learning from them.

That’s what making money online is really all about. You try things out, test if it works, change things, test again. All along the way slowly building up your online presence.

I’ve come across some really simple sites making a huge amount of money. Granted it’s taken them quite a few years to get to that level but it’s proof blogging doesn’t have to be difficult.

Using Advertising

I found one site the other day which just has post after post of How-to guides. In this case it’s mainly “How to decorate a pumpkin” or “How to make Christmas tree decorations”. Really simple posts with a few snaps taken on a smart phone for illustration.

The homepage is just filled with the latest posts. There’s a brief About page and that’s all there is to it. A really simple lifestyle blog aimed at home makers. Does it make money? Oh yes! This blog has 475,000 pageviews/month. That’s a good income from advertising!

It can take a lot of time to get to this level of pageviews. This particular blog had been going for 12 years. Now you may be quite happy to follow this model, patiently building up a side income. Or you could be looking for a faster return. If so, there are other ways of making money from blogging that don’t rely on such a high volume of traffic.
