I have been reading a LOT of articles about writing blogs to make money. They also just had this topic on Good Morning America. Is anybody out there doing this, and how did you get started. I want to be able to make money from my home as a side job from what I already do.

There are all kinds of ways to make money from home. Doing Blogs is one way. I don't have the details, it looked to mind boggleing to me. I tried Affilitate Marketing and Advertizing.
I have tried other things also and all have failed to make me money. A Successful Home Based Business has been my dream and passion for years. Then on day it fell into my Lap- Top. It Works! I did my home work and investigated. I loved what I saw and realized that the product sold itself and all I do is talk about it. I work my own hours, every where I go. I just talk to people. There are several ways to build this business, you just do what works for you. Like with any business, the more you work the more you earn.

Good morning!!!

This is an exciting idea!!! Maybe you'll be the next "Julie and Julia" :) (I love that movie!) I would imagine if you write about something you're passionate about and maybe a bit unique, it could become a nice income source over time. I hope you get some great ideas here.

Unfortunately, this won't be one of the great blog idea responses since I know nothing about it. I simply wanted to encourage you in your effort! I've been working from home for 17 years and its wonderful!! (Great tax deductions, too!) My husband and I were both able to quit our teaching careers and work PT from home. We just love it. You'll love it, I'm sure!!!

BTW - I'm currently looking for a new partner that is also interested in working from home so if you, or anyone else reading this knows of someone that would like to supplement or replace their income, let me know.

Best of luck to you!!! If you get your blog going, I hope you'll let us all know so we can log in!

K. :)

I think this is a hard way to make money. First, you need to have a blog that gets lots of traffic -- which means not only do you have to be a really good writer, you need to have a great idea that isn't already being done, that attracts a lot of people to check in daily. You need to have thousands of subscribers and tens of thousands of hits daily to then attract advertisers.

This doesn't happen all that often. If by chance you are able to write a blog that becomes really popular, then you could maybe start to earn money from ads, but it's a big if.

Good luck with figuring out a way to make money with a side job, and steer clear of the hucksters who want to sell you on their guaranteed loser schemes.

I think the main source of income for bloggers are ads. If you get enough followers then you can approach appropriate companies and ask if they would like to buy advertising space on your blog. Then they pay you monthly for the space and *there's* your income.

Hi there,

I have not made money from my blog yet, but I'm starting to think more about it. There are a lot of good resources out there, such as the free ebook by Jennifer James of the Mom Bloggers Club: www.fromblogtobusiness.

You should also check out problogger and copyblogger.

Good luck!
