Blogging is now in the mainstream and making money with blogging is no huge secret. What's the secret? Just bring in enough traffic and then post little "Advertise Here" blocks on your pages. If you have enough exposure on the internet and you are pulling in enough traffic, then the advertisers will come.
So why not blog about something you enjoy and when you get big enough charge $25 or more per slot on your website. Just keep your blog growing and keep diversifying your blog topics and before you know it you will have hundreds of pages with perhaps thousands of ads on them. Don't overdo it mind you! Remember, people are coming to your blogsite for good quality information. They are not coming to your blogsite to view your advertisers.
Certainly you can use Google Adsense or AzoogleAds to supply your advertising, but that leaves you without the control over the ads and may require you to make some changes here and there each month to comply with their third-party guidelines. Add that to the fact that you don't know what you are getting paid per click and it becomes rather annoying at the end of the month to give space to these third party advertisers who have taken up space on your webpage but haven't paid you a dime for doing so even if you don't make a dime.
It's your call as the blogger but frankly I think the real wealth is in private advertisers who are seeking to promote their own businesses. Think about it. You have a worldwide market of advertisers out there who are looking for traffic. Many of these people are not tech savvy and they have no idea what search engine optimization is, and they don't want to know either. Instead, they are willing to pay money to advertise in a high traffic area on the internet in order to bring people to their stores, their produces or introduce people to their services.
There is money to be made in private advertisers. Imagine that you have a blog site that is about 200 pages in size and draws in about 30 visitors per day at the moment. Yes, it's a relatively small amount but let's use it to be realistic. That's about 900 visitors in an average month. What if 600 of those visitors come in through your home page. How much is it worth for someone to have their link displayed in front of 600 people the first month and more people each month thereafter if you are able to keep building. There is no set answer. It depends upon what the profit margin could be for an advertiser and what you would like to make. You want to be very realistic at first.
For instance, I have a blog that I use to bring in my business in my law practice. The main page gets a reasonable amount of traffic to it. The blog has to do with Rhode Island Divorce. How much might an attorney stand to gain by getting just one client through my blog if I allowed him or her to advertise on that website and only one client came about in a given month.
In this instance, even a small to moderate amount of traffic on a blog that ranks well on Google.com in a very targeted subject could very well be worth $100 or more per month. Now $100 isn't a huge amount of money but what if you can reasonably put 8 link ads on each page. That is $800 per page that you are able to fill each month.
Let's say that your wealth goal is to fill 10 pages with advertising links out of 200. That seems to be a pretty good money-making goal.
Now let's do the math. $100 per ad multiplied by 8 ads per page is $800 per page multiplied by only 10 pages and you have $8,000 per month in ad revenue.
Even if you received 1/2 of the ads of $50 per advertisement you would still make $4,000 for the month just for blogging. Would that be reasonable to make? Do you think that if you picked a broad enough topic to blog on and you worked hard at it, that in all the world as your market place you might get 40 advertisers? Absolutely!
Remember SBA! See it! Believe it! Achieve it!
