Why Blogging is So Tough and the Hope for Bloggers
Information April 22nd, 2007You know, a lot of the things that I find interesting about blogging is that the rewards from it take a long time to come. It is hard to continue to post on a blog because the money is not there right away. I’ve been writing on this site for a few months now and I’ve made at most, three hundred dollars. Is that much? No, it’s not. However, I love to write on the blog and I know that it will get somewhere. Yet, here is the problem…Writing can become demoralizing. At the beginning, I had a great burst of energy…And then it began to deteriorate because I wasn’t making any money or anything…And then suddenly, this month, it’s exploded! It really has worked amazingly.
I update every single day now because I know that the real way to make money is to keep posting. Here’s the thing that works…A blog can always make money if you update continuously. However, the great thing about a blog is that it can make money on posts that are five months old because of search engines. Yet, the clicks are sometimes not there. And that is what demoralizes a lot of bloggers. But, I am going to tell you right now that if you keep at it, you will see a reward. I am not making much money, but every click is worth ten posts from me because I find that I am earning. And as time goes on, more money will be made. Don’t give up blogging because you’re not getting money. This is not a get rich scheme, but blogging can make you money if you try. Good luck!
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!

i completely agree. btw, did you re-do your site? i think i tried checking it out about a month ago and it was down. anyway…posting daily or even every other day is difficult but i think in the end will prove to be your best bet. glad i came across your blog again!

Well, it does look like you have a good thing going over here, so keep up the good work.
PS. $400 from a blog site in only a few months is great.

Danielle,
That day that it was down was probably the day that I accidentally uploaded the index of my arcade site to this site. So, I had to get an entirely new index. And then I changed the skin. :-p
Jennifer,
I intend to work as hard as I can to try and make more money.
