Taking off from a previous article where I wrote why it is necessary to start a blog, here are some pointers as to how over time blogs tend to dilute the central theme, which after all is writing contents.

Not long back, the idea of blogging caught everyone's fancy. Akin to wildfire-like spread of various types of social media sites - Digg, Orkut, MySpace, YouTube, et al - blogging also became popular in no time. People I know, who are otherwise gainfully occupied elsewhere and have seldom scribbled anything meaningful for a long time, suddenly felt a dire need of expressing themselves through blogs.

That is where lies the attractiveness of blogs. Connecting with others whom probably you may not know. Several tools and applications like MyBlogLog, FeedBurner, FeedBlitz, etc. have made the blogs even more endearing. And terms such as rss, permalink, trackback have become familiar in no time.

What however turned out to be the most effective spade to shove the concept of blogging is the ease of starting one. The other plus is that in most cases it's free to debut and carry on blogging. With Blogger, Wordpress and a host of others, starting a blog is child's play. Blogger's slogan, 'Push-Button Publishing' says it all lucidly.

If you keep in touch with Google Groups' Blogger Help Group, you'd know how the blogging fraternity is rapidly expanding allover. That surely is an indication of people's growing urge to 'publish' their thoughts and actions on the Internet, and in the process be heard and commented upon by others.

However, it's not long when the initial euphoria of blogging slowly starts ebbing, and then starts the pain of maintaining blog. In most cases, this aspect alone is what separates the wheat from the chaff. Since the bottomline of a successful blog is what else but solid contents, many promising startups that lack this virtue end up like an art unfinished.

Why do most blogs perish just after birth? 2 reasons come to mind. One is that for most startup bloogers, blogging is just an infatuation toward being 'seen' on Internet. Doesn't matter a new blog is only a speck of dust in thin air. Since infatuation and seriousness are poles apart from one another, a newbie's blog, if not pursued with vigor, hurtles toward oblivion in no time.

The second reason is more to do with perceived necessity than ability or wherewithal to support new efforts. I'm inclined to include website owners in this category who are already waist-deep in this.

The ease of starting a blog and availability of touchup tools to make it ornamental are juicy enough for many webmasters to start as many blogs as thought necessary. Only later does it dawn that carrying along those many blogs is a big drag on resources.

This brings me to the point I often like to put my bets on. It's that no website or blog can hope to succeed without contents. We've heard so many times that search engines put premium on quality contents and interlinking among them. If this is true for non-blog websites, there's no reason why it shouldn't be for blogs as well.

But, say we put aside search engines' requirements for a moment. What about flesh-n-blood visitors? Would they like a blog if it smells of staleness? When that happens, it signals the end of yet another valiant attempt at blogging. You get the point, don't you?

Are you currently running a blog? Do you want to make money from blogging? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, then there is an easy answer to help you achieve that goal. That answer is to sell advertising space on your blog.

Before you start planning how to spend your windfall profits from the blog, there are a couple of things you need to know about how to make money from blogging by selling advertising.

Traffic Needs

Before you can begin working towards this goal, you need to make sure you already have a steady traffic stream. Because the amount you can charge for ad space depends on the amount of traffic coming to your blog, if you want to make money from blogging you need to have a good amount of traffic first.

The best way to drive traffic to your blog is by adding search engine optimized content on a regular basis. Make sure your content is of good quality so people will want to read it and will want to share it with others.

Choosing Advertising

Don't choose just any advertiser for your blog. If you truly want to keep your blog in good shape, then you need to choose advertising that will appeal to the people visiting your blog. For example, if your blog is geared towards parents and deals with child-rearing issues, then advertising lingerie, porn sites, or video games may not make much sense.

Remember to make money from blogging your mind always needs to be on your audience.

Most bloggers use amateur blogs as opposed to professionals, though I am not sure what a 'professional' blog is. If you are blogging for profit, whether as an amateur or professional, then you are best advised to run your blog from your own website. This involves downloading the blogging software to your web space.

This however is a personal opinion, and many people prefer the simplicity of operating their blog from a blog host such as Blogger, run from Blogspot, or Wordpress from Wordpress.com. There is little to do other than to register and make your posts. The only negative is a lack of individuality and formatting of the look of the blog and the tools that you can use on it.

The majority of people who use the internet for fun, as opposed to business, believe that they have few opportunities to make money from their blog. Their blog is to communicate with others, and to express their views online in a way that was not possible prior to around the turn of the millennium. Sure, blogs were in existence before then, but mainly in specialized applications, and it was sometime between 1998 and 2001 that blogging changed from personal diaries of internet 'experts' to what we now regard blogging as being.

However, anyone who has a blog (reminds me of a Cilla Black song) can use it to make money, or if that is against your ethos of using the internet for fun, then to 'cover your expenses' as our councillors, governors and other governmental individuals like to express it! As they do, you can cover your expenses very, very well if you utilize the monetization possibilities of blogs as they can be used.

To repeat, in order to do so to the maximum of your ability, you must run your blog from your own web host. Most amateur blogs are created using Blogger from the Blogspot site or Wordpress from Wordpress.com, but if you can run your blog from your own website, then you have a lot more flexibility in the content of your blog than otherwise.

In fact you get many more benefits other than the possibility of profit by uploading blogging software to your web space (I am now going to use the term 'website' for web space since that is more familiar to most people, though the terms mean different things). If your blogging software is to your own website rather than that that of a blog provider such as Blogger or Wordpress, you have a lot more flexibility in how you want to format your blog, and in the features contained within it.

Let's look at what you get if you upload Wordpress, for example, to your own website. In order to do so you must have control over a MySQL database, that most good web hosts provide, and know how to use an ftp program. Otherwise it is plain sailing to upload the software. What you get is the ability to edit the CSS and HTML that determine the content and appearance of your blog posts, your sidebars, headers and footers. An immediate obvious benefit of this is the ability to add Adsense blocks that bring income to your blog.

Another is the possibility of adding links to any affiliate products you are promoting, and in fact links to anything you want your visitors to link to. These could include your websites or other blogs, in addition to adverts of various kinds. You can offer these in permanent pages, at the start or end of each individual post, or even within posts, though the most effective adverts and Adsense blocks are those included in the sidebars and footers of each post.

Another significant benefit that many bloggers find they get by downloading the software is that they can upload any of thousands of page templates for their blog that are totally editable. You can use Photoshop or a clone to edit the graphics, mainly the header, to customize it exactly for you, and can also edit the entire html to render the template unique to you. That is not possible with a blog hosted by the blog provider.

You can add any of thousands of widgets to your blog, another facility not open to you if you run a provider hosted blog. These widgets range from automatic SEO, thru auto XML site-map generation to blog pinging and literally any feature you could wish for. It is the ideal medium to advertise your product or service, and make money while you sleep or when you are on vacation. Imagine waking up in the morning, checking your bank balance, and finding a lot more there than when you went to bed!

That is blogging for profit, and it is not difficult. Amateur blogs can be used for profit as well as the professional blogs. There is no distinction if you are hosting your own blog. You can make money 24/7 while you sleep, and your widgets can also include an opt-in form that builds up your email list from those that are interested in your product or niche, but not quite ready to purchase. Keep in touch with them while you sell to others.

That is one great benefit of blogging.

One of Pete's great interests is the use of blogs to entertain, educate and to make money, and his webpage Create A Blog provides more benefits of hosting your own blog in addition to showing you exactly how to set up your own blog and to make money from it.

Ive never been popular in my whole life. I think there must be something inside me that didnt get enough attention as a kid or something because I seem to find myself looking for it all the time. I think about some of the career paths I have walked down: Ive been a musician, a pastor (who gets to get on a platform and talk to people getting attention even if I do have something selfless to say I like the feeling I get when I feel like people get it anybody else have this in common?), Ive been a stand-up comedian (here, theres a real pressure to get people to like you because if they dont, they let you know fast). I even started blogging because a lot of great bloggers are out there and they seem to know how to type just the right things to get lots and lots of feedback. Heck, I figured Id tried everything else, why not see if I get some feedback, too. And you know what I found out?

Blogging is frackin' hard! And what is the whole point of a blog? To get comments. Yes, it is! You know good and well that to write things because you have to simply get them off your chest, you could write in a diary or a journal (by journal, I mean, the book, not the webjournal). You could even type it on your computer and save it away in your My Documents/Private Diary of 2 am Thoughts. Nobody would ever have to see it. But, you dont. Why? Because we have something inside us that wants people to give a crap! We dont want our thoughts to remain silent. Especially controversial thoughts. Why? Maybe because controversial thoughts gain ATTENTION! And with attention comes what? More feedback. And I am no different. Musician. Artist. Comedian. Pastor (Actually, I should use the word Preacher here instead of pastor.). And now, Blogger. The only difference is that nobody reads my blogs. Well, if they do, they rarely comment on them.

I got fired because I blogged. I wanted attention. I got attention all right. And you know what? I still blog! Why? Because I'm an idiot? No, because I figure somewhere out there, somebody might just care enough about what Im saying that theyll comment back. Maybe even get a whole revolution of blogs going. Who knows? Maybe I could be one of those Expert Bloggers you know who you are, if you are even reading this - that draws conversations and big dialogues over at my blog because Im just cool enough to get peoples attention.Only Im not cool enough.

And I've commented on other blogs. My, oh my, how I have commented and "prostituted" myself all over the blogosphere. Who cares, I guess. Some guys (and gals) are really popular. They can write, "I had an orange today," and they still receive thirty-five comments ("Hey, Me too!" - by JoeBlogg, among thirty-four others saying, "Hey, I love oranges!"). Nothing for me, though. Sadly, I actually make up my own comments and put fake names on them just so if by some chance somebody comes along and reads it, theyll think, This guy must be cool. He must be popular. People are commenting on his. Sadly, I have done this before.

Im a failed blogger. I could hang my head in shame and bow out gracefully. But, I will probably continue to post these random thoughts because somehow, it means something to me. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow, somebody will see it and the whole Emerging Pilgrim Blog Revolution begins. And if not, maybe Ill just take it on the road. Time once again to hit the Comedy Clubs. At least there if I dont get laughs, Ill get some food out of the deal.

Have you ever heard of a blog? If so, that's great. But what about this -- do you have a personal blog page? If you if you don't, then you are missing out. There are many web businesses that currently only focus on their products and nothing more. This is because most Internet marketers do not realize the potential of blogs.

Simply put, a blog is a little notebook filled with notes on a specific topic that the author is interested in. Most blogs also contain writings of people's feelings, emotions and their daily activities. Blogs are becoming so popular these days that many people, who start creating websites, don't even begin with a conventional web design anymore. Many Internet marketers go straight to blogs due to their ease of use and setup.

If you are just starting a business, then why not focus on a blog first. By blogging, you establish yourself as someone who knows more about a topic than the general public. What kind of topic? Your niche.

Frequently, perhaps once or twice a week, write up articles in topics of interest that are also of interest to a specific audience group. For example, if you are interested in sail boat rigging, then write articles about this topic that either provide good content or information or can help readers accomplish a task. The best approach to a blog is to keep it casual. Although grammar and spelling would be nice to have, if you expose your personal preferences and your style, you have a better chance of an audience that will trust you.

So remember -- don't write super long entries, and always feel empathy for your readers. If you let your ideas slowly and naturally fall upon your page in a conversational tone, you are on your way to making money off of your blog.
