Make Money Blogging

The people I have been teaching how to build a blog that is built for SEO (search engine optimization), always start with the “how to’s” of building, maintaining, and monetizing their blog.

The second question that people normally ask  “how long is it going to take to make money?”. I tell them that this is not Get RICH QUICK!  Just like most things in life, there is no legitimate quick and easy way. It takes time and very hard work!

I can tell you that I have been blogging for a few years now but only in the last 12 months have I done it with the goal of making money. 

But, for more the last year I was working at it about 15 hours a week.  Prior to this I did not  know anything about blogging to make money, getting traffic, etc.

It was not until about a month ago that my blogs started to show a steady flow of income.  To be honest, this coincides with my purchase of Google Sniper which, for me, was my ‘ah ha’ moment.

From other people I know who make some money their blogs, this timing seems to typical. A 12-18 month window is a great target if your diligent. While the first few months didn’t yield much income, I did get my appetite whetted by making a little bit.  It was just enough to get me more motivated.   While I wish I could tell you that you could jump right ahead to where the income starts increasing quicker, but I just don’t think it is likely.

There are lots of tips in the posts of this blog.  However even with all this information and tools we recommend, I don’t think I would be doing you justice by guaranteeing a shorter time frame. I do wish I had known at the beginning, what I write about in this blog.  It may make things go a lot quicker, but there is no getting around the fact that it is going to take time to get there.

But just like anything, the more you put in, the more you get out. The two keys are consistency and a willingness to learn. Without them, I would say that it will be very difficult to make money with your blog.
