If You are Already Blogging, Money May be Just a

Once you have an established blog with a regular

readership, it is easy to turn a profit through advertising.

By hosting sponsored links or banners, you can see

income from your hobby almost overnight. Even if you

did not start your blog intending to turn a profit, making

supplementary income from your blog may be easier

than you think.

Of course, even for people who have spent months or

years blogging, money from advertising revenue may

not add up to a large sum. The amount of money that

you can make as a blogger depends on a lot of different

factors, but perhaps the most important element of the

equation is the topic of your blog. If your blog is on a

subject that appeals to a demographic that advertisers

have a strong desire to reach, you will be more likely to

be able to turn a large profit on your blog than if your

blog is on a fairly obscure subject that does not draw

the kind of audience that advertisers need to appeal to.

Of course, the only way to find out where you fall on

this spectrum is to try hosting some ads. If you are

already blogging, you have nothing to lose.
