Blogging for Cash!

The money-making potential of blogging is unlimited; the key to successful blogging is choosing the framework which best suits your schedule, experience and interests. I’ve chosen to focus on three distinct strategies which you can implement in order to generate revenue and further your blogging career.

1. The Uber-Blog
The Uber-Blog is both the hardest to maintain and the most profitable type of blog there is. In a nutshell, what you’re doing is placing all your eggs in a basket and hoping they produce a soufflé; meaning, all your energy is focused on this one blog in the hopes of garnering traffic. Once reaching a certain level of exposure, these sites tend to generate their own buzz thus creating a cyclical effect. With Uber-Blogs, your main profit source will usually be direct advertising sales.

2. The Splog Route (aka the Spam Blog)
The Splog is basically an artificially created blog which pulls content from RSS feeds, search engines and news sources. It lies in an ethically grey area of the blogging realm as in some cases automatically pulling content ignores basic copyright or privacy laws, but the advantage is that the Splog requires little work from the blogger. With Splogs, your main source of income will usually come from Adsense ads or affiliate programs.

3. Rising Up The Ladder
This method is simple yet very work intensive. The concept is: create several blogs which you maintain over a period of time by writing concentrated content and building up their Google page rank. Then submit said blogs to as many “get paid to blog” sites as you qualify for and earn income on the terms offered.

In closing, whichever blogging method you choose, always remember that the key to success is passion and an unwavering commitment to succeed. Do it, and do it well, and before you can say Surfing Gringo Surfs All Day your blog should start you off on the road to success.
