Don't just blog for money

If you intend to set up a blog to be rich overnight, you will be disappointed. Making money blogging is not a dream but it involves hard work. Besides researching materials and writing original content I have to constantly reposition my ads, links and widgets to achieve optimized result, adding things that works and removing those that don't. All this to provide value-added service and to make my blog a good read for my visitors.

I am focusing on this niche area of Increasing web site traffic and monetizing of blog. I am passionate to pursue this topic and share my experiences and methods. As you witness the growth of this site, it is my hope that you will participate through sharing information and comments.

I have been criticized along the way and one blogger even left nasty comment on my blog. I took it positively with the support from my fellow blogger friends. This blog is a collection of passion, hard work and love from my blogger community.

There are many ways of monetizing your blog besides online ads and writing reviews (Read my post Monetize Your Blog strategies ). One can also sell goods and services via blogs. I will feature some of these in my future posts. While i have attained some minor success in terms of traffic, ads and PR, i am mindful of the hardwork i have to put in (continously) and also the other offline commitments (like family). Like life itself, blogging is a learning experience and i hope i will not have to walk alone. Cheers!
