Just starting out?

Well everyone was there at one point. One thing to keep in mind with blogging is that you will not make ton of money right away. One blogger that is making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with his blog took several months before he made a dollar. The thing is to just keep trying, and to not give up. Blogging does take a lot of work if you want to make a lot of money.
Here are a few things to think about before starting a blog.
1. What is your topic? Make it something broad enough to attract a lot of people, but narrow enough so that people can find it easy enough. Also make it something you know a lot about. You can usually tell if someone knows what they are talking about.
2. What is your goal? Obviously you want to make money, but that isn’t always the only reason for blogging. Some people have blogs to get the word out about something, or to inform people. Others just write because they enjoy writing. Blogging can be a lot of fun once you know what you’re doing.
3. How much do you want to invest in it? Basically you will get out of it will depend on what you put into it. Some people write a new post 2 or 3 times a day, others maybe twice a week. The ones that post more frequently have people checking their blog more frequently, and thus more revenue. Another thing to consider is investing money with advertising and web hosting. It is possible to run a blog and never pay a cent, but it will be a very very long time before you will ever see any money from it. There are ways to spend a little money to make a lot more money in turn.
