Making a blog to make a living? Mark Cuban (the Dallas Cowboys owner) who has his own blog, warned that many won’t make enough to support themselves from blogging. He does admit that getting a large audience is the goal of blogging.
The president of Adbrite stated that about one in six blogs gets even 500 page views per day. A rate that would earn at most $45 a month. (I think the president has his figures wrong.) Even with my site sampleaday receiving 500 page views per day, we were earning $200 per month.
A few important tips for new bloggers.
1. Just post! Many bloggers find a hard time just clicking that publish button.
2. Life first, then blogging. Find a way to fit in your blog to your schedule. But, live your life first.
3. Keep a regular rhythm. Whether you post once a week or everyday, don’t post everyday and suddenly not at all. Let your readers know how often to expect new posts.
