Blogging for money takes patience

I have never ever shown this to anybody until now. Look how slowly blogging for dollars began for me. In my first month I only made about $1.00. In my second month I made about $20.00. April was sky high because it was this month that I was introduced to PayPerPost and The News Room. At the time, The News Room was paying crazy dollars per impression. After April, my earnings plummeted. The News Room no longer paid what it originally had been paying per impression. In fact, The News Room cut their pay per impression to about 10% of what is originally was.

"You can really make money blogging!"

Between January and September of 2008, I made $816.14 for blogging using various programs. Why am I sharing this with you guys? For two reasons. One reason is to show you that blogging for dollars takes patience. The second reason for me showing you this is to show you that you can really make money blogging online and you really don't need much of an education to do so. I'm just out of high school living the American dream. I am running my own business. To this day, I have hired 2 of my friends. They're helping me with my major project, Celebrity News Polls.

Blogging for fun.

My story is kind of a repeating product of what Pro Blogger Darren Rowse went through. At first, I began blogging for fun. I was in my senior year of high school at the time and figured, hey, let's start a little blog about the Perfect Pushups and let's see how many people I can actually get to view my site. At this point, it really wasn't about the money, it was about the traffic. Already being lucky enough to start Video Blogging early, Ultimate Perfect Pushup Review was a hit. It received a hundred plus unique views daily through Youtube after only about 1 to 2 weeks of going live.

Blogging for fun and for money.

After being told that it wasn't possible to make money online, I looked straight into the ------- advertising program. I'm the character type that doesn't give up. If you say I can't do something, I am going to try my hardest to do it until I can prove you wrong. After being greatly disgruntled by ------- early on, I decided to look into some other forms of advertising. At this point, I was quite frustrated. I was working hours a day, researching every minute, and I was doing it for what seemed to be pennies on the dime. That's when I decided to purchase my first E-Book. I paid the guy $10.00 and he practically referred me to The News Room. Sure enough, the $10.00's paid off as I made $56.66 using his pay per impression "system."

My first and last purchase on an ------- E-Book.

After making my first pay check using The News Room, I thought to myself, "Why isn't everyone using it?" Sure enough, I later learned that ------- pays way more, and that you just have to have your ads formatted and placed in the correct spots to really make any money. At this point in time I decided to spend my first paycheck on a $100.00 "Increase ------- Earnings" E-Book. Sure enough, the book taught me everything I had already known. Thankfully, I was able to get my money back over a month later.

Every blogging tip can be found online for Free.

At this time, I learned that everything you need to know, can be found for a no cost fee online by viewing other blogs and or videos. This is when I was introduced to Joel Comm. I watched every single one of his free lessons on Youtube. Sure enough, my earnings greatly increased.

Working hours on end for low to no payout.

I have now been blogging since January of 2008. My income from Blogging has been a wonderful blessing thus far. Later in life, I hope to make blogging a full career, but only I can make that happen. Blogging is hard work and it's not just some lazy get rich quick scheme. To be honest, I have made $0.00 so far on Video Blogging Tips because of the fact that the topic just isn't very popular. Early in your blogging career, you will be working hours on end for an extremely low payout unless you're one of the lucky ones that catches a crazy break. Even today, I am still making way under what I probably should be. However, this hasn't stopped me from pursuing my dreams.

Your life dreams come true while blogging.

Finally, the thing I like the most about blogging is the fact that you can be anything you want to be. A backyard wrestler, a Madden Gamer, a Tech Supporter, and or basically anything else you can think of. As long as you're providing a blog of value for your readers, you will be successful.
