Hi,

I blog. I have about $40 I haven't cashed out from Google adds. That is probably over a six month period...if you can get your friends to be clicking on adds, you can do well. My blog is listed on my profile if you want to take a look. It is just about life. I really enjoy blogging...if you do check it out...don't forget to click on the adds!:-)


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Yes, of course, it does help if you can get your friends to click on the ads. I remember reading that there were some people that got caught, so I am always nervous about encouraging my friends to do that. They say Google knows everything. LOL

I am glad to hear that you are making more than most with your blog. Thanks for responding in this discussion, and good luck to you in the future!


myLot reputation of 97/100. Carrie38 (207)   ranked 5,626 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Thank you and all the best to you as well if you decide to blog! If you do, let me know and I will click on your adds!:-)

Hi Kykidd. Actually I have just recently become interested in blogging. Currently I am only blogging on my website about Affiliate Marketing because it ties in with the other content on my site. I am still researching the subject but am becoming more and more anxious to try and learn how to blog for money. I love to type, talk, learn new things, share knowledge, etc. and I can get quite oratory at times, so I think I would do well at blogging. I will be watching this progression of your discussion in hopes of learning a few insightful tidbits about blogging for cash. Thanks for starting this one.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Thank you for your response in this discussion sderringer. It seems as if you have picked an extremely interesting topic for your blog. I think there is always more to learn for all of us, no matter what field or how long we have been doing something.

I too look forward to see what everyone else shares with us here in this discussion. Thanks again, and have a great day here on myLot! Plus, good luck with your blog!


myLot reputation of 80/100. sderringer (239)   ranked 3,386 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Thanks Kykidd. I think Affiliate Marketing is an interesting subject but unfortunately it seems that a lot of other people don't because I still am not having any luck getting viewers to my blog. Or maybe it is because the subject of being an Affiliate has saturated the internet many times over and I am just spinning my wheels. Oh well, I will keep pecking away at it though because I enjoy it tremendously.


myLot reputation of 97/100. Carrie38 (207)   ranked 5,626 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Hi there,

Where do I find your blog...I would be happy to view and click to help anyway I can.:-)


myLot reputation of 80/100. sderringer (239)   ranked 3,386 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

That is very sweet of you Carrie38 but I think it is against the guidelines here at Mylot for me to mention my exact website address because it would be considered advertising. I would love some constructive criticism from someone other than close friends and family though. Hmmmmm......maybe we will think of a way.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

One thing to keep in mind, the more links there are on the internet leading to your site, the higher it appears in search engines. So, if you can post it at least to your Facebook page, Twitter, and maybe even some free traffic exchange sites, it might be helpful. Good luck to you in the future!


myLot reputation of 80/100. sderringer (239)   ranked 3,386 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Thank you for the tip kykidd. I do have the site listed on my Facebook page and here on my Mylot profile. I noticed some of those free web traffic sites that you mentioned and I am planning on looking into them further. Thanks again for the comment.

I am a single mother, and I blog about that and share resources at http://www.singlemomsares... also share tips for getting expensive baby items (Infamil, Huggies, Godiva chocolate for mom!) for free at my other blog, http://www.namebrandmommy.blogspot.com

I
reaaly just blog to share tips and resources, but I do have Adsense on my blogs and every cent helps when you're a single mom with no vhild support lol!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Every penny counts in this world today, unfortunately it seems sometimes that's all that we're left with after we pay the bills is a few pennies. LOL

It sounds like you are doing a lot of good sharing this information with other mothers out here on the internet. I hope that your blog is doing well with the ads from Adsense.

Thank you for your response in this discussion. Good luck to you in the future, and have a great day!

Hi There, I do blog to earn only money by putting adverts on my blogs. Your blog should be unique one and have your own views and not copied view from other websites or blogs so all the best and create your blog.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

I agree that everything should be unique on your blog. And that plagerism is a horrible thing. I like to post links to my eHow articles, plus add to them on my blog, since eHow doesn't allow opinions. It gives me a chance to share my views.

Thanks for your response in this discussion. Have a great day here on myLot!

i have 3 blogs... but concentrating much on one.. since google adsense was stopped in india, am not able to make much money through it. but am earning by writing reviews of various products..


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Wow, I am so surprised to hear that they have cancelled Google Adsense in India. It seems like there are so many people living there that know a lot about technology, you would think that would be hurting Google.

Thank you for your response, and good luck to you in the future!

6. myLot reputation of 93/100. WebMann (2768)   ranked 581 out of 15,022 in internet   1 month ago

Blogging is awesome, so of course I blog. I have too many blogs to handle actually and am dropping a few the next time their domain renewal comes up. Sorta over extended myself.

I don't have good luck with them. I work hard for what they earn me, no luck involved.:)

Well okay I did have some luck with one blog, a travel blog. I only put private label rights articles on it and over the few years it has been going I have only put a couple of my own articles on it. But it makes me over $100.00 US a month.

Needless to say, but I will say it anyways, is that after that 'lucky' blog kept earning over $100 a month I decided to start two more travel blogs. They are still new so it is too early to say if they will do the same.

I have blogs in all stages from days old to a couple of years old.

I make the most money through affiliate marketing and I make the most affiliate earnings on the blogs where I talk about my hobbies.

The funny thing is I have a web site about making money online and I earn nothing from it. People that read and learn from it are trying to get their own online business going and aren't interested in buying.

My Blogging Tip: Stay away from the make money market. It's a tough nut to crack. Instead pick something you know something about and enjoy, like I do fishing and gardening, and then start a blog in that niche.

Don't stray off topic as that is a blog killer and you won't be likely to make money.

Next, after keeping your blog on topic, start blogging until you have about 100 unique readers a day. Once you hit that mark you can start adding a little advertising. I like using affiliate marketing for this but I like to also use a site like shrinkURL.com to mask my link.

I like to add links in my posts that direct visitors to affiliate products that are relevant to that post.

I also like to add a very attractive add about the sidebar.

I don't like to make my blogs look like an ad center as that turns me off. I do have a couple of blogs I diliberately add too many ads to. This is so I can test to see if other turn away from pages like that.

Then, once you have started to earn some income on that blog start a new one in a slightly different niche.

Example: I started a backyard gardening blog and once it started to earn I started another one on vegetable gardening and then I started one on great garden recipes.

I did the same thing with a few other hobbies, but it all started with the first blog gaining some success.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Holy Cow, as Harry Caray would have said! You have given us a ton of tips here WebMann. Thank you so much. It is great to hear from some one who has had some much "luck" with their blog. But as you say, I don't think it is just luck. It has a lot to do with hard work, plus testing out what works.

Thanks again, and have a wonderful day!

Hi Kykidd,

Yes, I do have a blog.and I am not blogging for money for sure.
I am blogging about my own life,my son's life and my family.
I love writing and blogging is a good hobby, It helps to improve my writing skills and also my English.

I started to blog about two years ago and I really fall in love with the blogging world.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

Hi Shia, that just goes to show that there is more to life than just money. Even though we do need money to survive, but we need to enjoy our lives and our families just as well!

Thank you for your response in this discussion, and have a great day here on myLot!

8. myLot reputation of 99/100. getbrowser (1431)   ranked 136 out of 15,022 in internet   1 month ago

Yes, I am running 3 blogs nowadays.

Compared with people who start a blog just for peosonal interests, I run blogs based on various reasons.

When I started my first blog, I want to share my tips and experience about the life, the Internet and making money online. Some newbies wanting to make money online may benefit a lot from my first blog. Then, I started my second blog with a niche "browser". Yes, it is a browser blog covering web browsers news and reviews about all web browsers. As my first English blog, I was running the blog just for making more money.

Never give up if you want to become a famous blogger. Good luck!


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

It sounds like you have been doing quite well with your blogs. And it is funny how your name here on myLot even relates to the blogs that you have.

Thank you for sharing this information in this discussion, and have a great day here on myLot!

Hello kykidd. I have never blogged so far as I have not a clear clue about it. To me, mylot is something like a blog as I can write something here that happens to me. I have read to find out that all the responders above mine are bloggers for different reasons and it seems that they like blogging. I hope some day it will interest me as well. Happy posting, friend.


myLot reputation of 99/100. kykidd (4555)   ranked 37 out of 15,022 in internet  1 month ago

I am really impressed with all of the great responses that I have received here in this discussion. And I also agree with you about myLot. It is nice to have a place where you can go and talk about your day, and get support from other users. I think this is a great site for sharing.

Thank you for your response in this discussion, and happy myLotting!!!

It is true that blogging can be very time consuming. And I am sure that, as you stated, the people who do have successful blogs have to work very hard at it. I am glad myLot is here for us to share and post discussions as well.

Thank you for your response in this discussion, and have a great day here on myLot!
