Blogging for Profit, Realistic Goal or Far Fetched Fantasy?

Not an impossible dream, in fact blogging for profits is attainable by anyone with even just some internet experience and the capacity to learn the rest. As online marketing soars, opportunities expand and you too could be successful creating blogs for both interest and profit. Passion for your topic, having something to write about and offering quality content to viewers is imperative to your success but I wouldn't expect to 'get rich quick'. It does take perseverance, commitment and the desire to succeed financially on your own. You also need to be self-sufficient and be your own leader.

With that being said blogs can cover a huge array of topics from personal growth to business management, gaming tips to dating tips. Or you can narrow a topic down and create a niche blog that has a unique, online presence without a lot of competition. Which leaves me asking, what you would like to blog about?

I've only just begun blogging myself and have found that if you truly love what you are writing about the ideas will come easier and it's far more enjoyable. For the intention of profit, blogging ought to be done daily to drive traffic. So, if you hate your topic you won't want to write, keep that in mind.

This blog was created using Blogger and I found it to be relatively easy once I poked around for a bit. You can personalize almost everything, the templates are there and can be altered. You can add widgets to your blog for profit and interest value along with so many other great things and the best part of all is it's totally free.

As well, Google's Ad Sense can be easily added with a few simple steps, known as Monetizing. The Monetize tab in Blogger makes it easy to enable AdSense ads on your blog. Once enabled, Blogger will retrieve your AdSense earnings data directly from AdSense so you do not need to go to AdSense to get basic earnings information.

There are many blogging platforms including Wordpress which seems to be Bloggers competition. I'm staying with Blogger for now but not opposed to researching other avenues, nor should you be. Research is key in any business and can mean the difference between success and disaster. Even daily mundane business tasks require decisions, so be sure to do your homework!


YouTube offers many uploaded videos for help with using Blogger, Ad Sense and Gadgets etc.
