While I don’t get rich off my blog and most people don’t, that should not prevent you from trying. In fact there’s very few people that do make money on their blogs, and thousand more that attempt and fail.

You have Problogger who does well, Tyler Cruz, John Chow (idiot), Shoemoney (a-hole), and some others.

But if you put a lot of effort and time into your blog, you can’t made some pretty good money. You should be able to make enough money to pay most of your bills as long as you don’t live too lavishly. It should not be too hard to make $1,500 or so a month.

First you need to find a platform to build you blog on. Wordpress seems to be the best platform. Don’t buy some junky blogger blog. It’s a waste of time and you don’t have any real control over it. What if Blogger goes out of business or sells. You could wake up and you whole blog would be gone and you would not be making any money.

Second you’re going to need a domain name. It needs to be simple, short and easy to remember. WealthStore.com is just that. Keep it simple and east to remember. Also buy a dot com extensions only. Do not buy any of the dot net or other garbage.

Start posting. Do not buy advertising or any of that other junk. Just post. the most you post, the more traffic you will get. Post about whatever you want whether it applies to your topic or not. If you want to make money you have to have traffic. The way to build traffic is to post. Once you start getting some regular traffic, you can make money on the traffic. You need to have about 100 uniqure visitors per day. It should not be too hard with a little work.
