Moneymaking Blog
I have been away from my personal blog, taken away with business things and setting up a couple of other blogs which I hope sometimes getting valuable enough to both support business websites I manage as well as possibly delivering a little steady income. So far my intention on blogs is mainly related to SEO purpose, to support other websites. For years I have been seeing that commercial websites – selling products or services – are by far more lucrative in delivering income. Just imagine a real estate listing website with a potential 5-10% commission on sales of pieces of land, villas, and condos. Definitely not an apple to apple comparison to a few hundred bucks leakage from Page and Brin’s pocket.
However there are more and more people talking about six digits income solely from blogging. I am not seeing at that record breaking hype. If by being a movie star Ronald Reagan reached the White House, would thousands of other movie stars thinking that they could as well? Still small steady income, maybe only enough to pay my hosting and domain registrar bills, sounds quite appealing, especially believing that the market of merchandise I am carrying in my commercial websites is quite competitive and sensitive at the same time.
I decided to find out more by searching Amazon and finally ordering a couple of books on blog monetizing. As always, it took 20 days approx. to get the books reach my doorsteps. Fortunately their arrival coincidentally fits my ruined holidays, so whilst my amazing business-pleasure trip was canceled, I have something to enjoy.
The books are newly published so hopefully carry the latest relevant knowhow. How to Make Money with Your Blog by Duane Forrester and Gavin Powell, ISBN 978-0-07-150857-5, published by McGraw Hill, and ProBlogger by Darren Rowse and Chris Garret, iSBN 978-0-470-24667-2, published by John Willey and Sons. Both publishers are respectful ones in business and technology.
No chance to read even a page of them, so I am not in position to throw any comments on them.
