Blogging – Make Money While Doing What You Enjoy

What is the best job in this world? Is it that of being the CEO of a top company? Is it programming? Or is it the job of being an Entertainer? None! In my opinion, the best job in the world is the job which enables you to earn revenue while having fun at the same time. I remember my previous day job where I sued to spend 8 hours per day! To be honest, it was like living in hell!

To be frank, I would like to work when I want to! I want to make money by indulging myself in my favorite hobbies. And blogging is one job where I can do just that!

Blogging Gives You the Way for Expressing Your Ideas

I am sure you are good at one thing or the other. You may be good at football, you maybe knowing every football player by heart, and you may even know each and every trick of the game! Or you may be good at car driving, as well as have knowledge about every machine and every race of cars. The point is that you must be good at SOMETHING, and in fact, I am sure you ARE!

Blogging can give you a platform where you can write about something you are good at. It doesn’t need to be a great skill or topic; it could be as simple as how to grow vegetables. And as a matter of fact, there is a 70 years old granny out there who is paid $5000 per month for writing about nothing other than growing vegetables!

To write something, it is not necessary that you are a writing expert. Anybody, even a 70 year old retired granny can write a blog these days. Maintaining a blog is getting easier and cheaper nowadays. You don’t even need technical stuff to run a blog.

Different Sources Of Income

Now you might be wondering how a blog in itself could make you any money. Well, there are some several sources of income for bloggers! Let’s start with my favorite source of revenue: advertising. During the time when your blog grows in posts, your readership base will also start growing by leaps and bounds. At that time you can leverage your blog with advertisement. Being paid for writing something you already love to write about – can anything be better than that?

You can either join an advertising network like Google Adsense for free or offer advertising space to selected vendors . It is fairly simple; don’t think too much about the technical details. If my 15 years old kid can do it, so can you!

Another way to make money is to offer monthly memberships to the readers of your blog. If your content is really that good, you can get away with $3000-$5000 residual income per month.

One friend of mine earns money by doing just this. He started writing about real estate investment since he had almost 15 years of experiences on the subject! The money he makes nowadays from blogging has been more than what he has earned during his 15 years’ real estate investment career!
