Why start a blog? Simple. It's a no-brainer as a business idea. Chances are you have looked into this whole internet money-making lark and are thinking - wow, can I really make money from all this stuff? There are some bloggers on the Internet who are making over $3 Million a year. Check out Perez Hilton who earns over a million a year easily. Check out what is involved. There are Hubbers who have set up their own businesses, sidelines, supplementary income-creating web sites and blogs. How can you tell if you have what it takes?
Hub Pages is a great way to start a career in Blogging. Pick the Topic that you know something about and then start writing and creating that content. It will be assembled and created with words, pictures, and perhaps videos, YouTube content, charts, clip art, Art art, Photos, drawings, CAD art, spreadsheets, animations, or whatever you like. Then go and research Google Adsense (Hub Pages allows members who join this writing community to set up an account for free with Google Adsense here).
Having a blog can also include having a small but respectable amount of advertising on your blog. Ad revenues can add up over time as the readers and viewers of your blog read and enjoy more of what is there. If the ads are connected to, or related to what is in your blog, they will earn you money over time. Check out Amazon, eBay, Clickbank, Linkshare, Shareasale, Viglinks, and other internet businesses that can earn you money from your blog. Adsense helps sell ads on your Hub or Blog (or website) and the more that people click on ads, the more moolah you can make. And Moolah is what gets me so interested here. Some people write just for the smell of it. Others have bills to pay, and are more honest financially in their objectives, since they have things to buy, debts to settle, credit cards to shred, you know the drill. We are driven by different things. Figure out your motivation for being a blogger. Avoid turning it into one expensive vanity exercise. The secret to a great Blog is the same for having a great Hub. Great subjects! Advertising! Promotion! Links! Audience! Tell the world about what you have made. Sell yourself! Start your own web business.
