3 Reasons You Might Never Make Money as a Blogger

I have been blogging for almost 2 years now and it took me almost a year to make a cent from my hard work. Things were really frustrating then but I made up my mind never to give up until I start to get results.

One thing I observed from me not making money as a blogger for a long period of time is that I made a lot of mistakes and I see as lot of bloggers doing the same nowadays, this blog post will be addressing some of the three top reasons why I was unable to make money online for the first 8 months of me blogging and I hope other bloggers who read it can learn a thing or two from it.

1. You’re Substituting Your Content for Money
One thing I came to learn about blogging is that the blogging world is very unique and different and that you need to give a lot of great info away for free before you start reaping the rewards. It will be a very dangerous mistake for you to neglect the importance of writing great content because the quality of your content should never be substituted for anything as a blogger.

8 Cool Tips To Increase Your Affiliate Income

Affiliate products is a big source of money to many bloggers. It really has a great potential to make you rich, anyways it’s not a get-rich-quick- scheme. It needs your hard work, your time, your patience and, your innovative ideas to sell a product. So I am here to help you with 8 ideas that would help you to see some cash by being an affiliate.

3 Ways To Make Money From Your Blog

It only takes three things to get started writing a blog: a computer, an Internet connection and the ability to write. Although some might argue the ability to write is optional—there are a lot of bloggers who couldn’t even write a decent ransom note.
Starting a blog is easy; making money with your blog is a bit more difficult. And that’s what you really want to do, isn’t it? Not too long ago I saw a list of what was supposed to be the biggest money producing blogs in the business. This is a fairly fluid group, so the rankings often change. But, in this snap shot TechCrunch came out on top with an estimated $200,000 of monthly ad revenue. Not bad.

Second on the list was Mashable. Note that TechCrunch and Mashable are blogs with a long list of contributors. You have to get down to number three on the list, Timothy Sykes, to find a blog associated with one writer. And, while TechCrunch and Mashable make their dough primarily by selling banner ads, Timothy Skyes pulls in about $80,000 a month via affiliate marketing.
With those blogs as starting points, it brings us to our real subject: three ways to make money from your blog.
The first way should be quite obvious by now:
