Learning how to make money blogging is not rocket science. Nor is it kid’s play.

A blog is a business, and how much money you make blogging depends on your ability to “monetize” your blog. One of the most widely used blog publishing system is Blogger. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. http://www.blogger.com/.The one unbreakable rule for success in blogging is to focus your blog on your passion. We all have a favorite hobby, favorite past time, or expertise. Find this passion and share it with others. Your passion for the subject will shine and readers will flock to your blog to get more of what you offer.

To make money online  it is all about traffic. Traffic to your blog comes before income. Your content rich blog site will attract visitors  and as they read your blog entries, they will invariably turn to
your sponsors for more information. In exchange for the valuable information you provide to your readers, the Internet will reward you with a healthy income.

Connecting paying advertisers with bloggers-for-hire, paid blogging networks simply act as bridges or middle-men. Bloggers are basically paid to write and post their opinions and reviews of advertiser websites, products and/or services. But, because each paid blogging network is different, rules, guidelines and requirements vary. Being professional and consistent are the key   to build a good reputation for yourself.

Let’s look at a few people who really know how to blog.

AMITABH BACHHAN –is the latest Indian star to realize the reaches of the Internet, and blogs. The superstar has become a regular blogger, Amitabh’s blog is owned by Bigadda, which is itself owned by the Ambani group. It has also been rumoured that the Ambani group are hoping to create a major presence on the Internet  and are using Amitabh Bachchan’s blog as a platform to much bigger things.

JASON McCABE CALCANIS- His first company was part of the dot-com era in New York  and his second venture capitalized on the growth of blogs before being sold to AOL. Calacanis co-founded Weblogs, Inc. with Brian Alvey. They built the company as a network of blogs supported by advertising, also taking an angel investment from Mark Cuban. They recruited freelance bloggers to provide content and grew to about 50 sites within a year.
