How to Make Money Blogging

So I have done a lot of research on blogging and although I am not at the point where I make any money I felt it would be nice to share how you can make money with blogging. I used this website as a basis for my post. 

Built into Blogger are a few tools the blogger can use to track his or her blog progress.
Within the Stats category you will find traffic sources, audience and page views.

Blogger's traffic source tool is a very useful analytic. With this tool the blogger is able to know where their viewers are coming from. This is a great indicator of what keywords are working. After posting a blog with information on a fat free, sugar free health food recipe, a blogger finds that they are getting a lot of views from a website on weight loss. This could be an indication that they would get more views if they posted more recipes that are geared towards this group of viewers. This would hold true for any type of blogger, or blog type.

Secondly, the audience tool is another very useful tool. This tool shows what part of the world viewers are coming from. This can be beneficial knowing that your target audience is actually being targeted.

Thirdly, the page views tool. This tool might be the most beneficial of the three tools. You can view individual post views, or total blog views. Also you can view daily, all time views, or weekly views. Ultimately, page views show whether your blog post is getting traffic, and if your keywords are working. You can juggle around different keywords and see if the post gets more views. More views can potentially mean more earnings, which will be discussed in the next segment.

How to Earn Money by Blogging :

Google Adsense is partnered with Blogger to earn the blogger extra money by blogging. The more posts on the blog, the more opportunities to earn money. AdSense is a service that places ads on the blog posts that are relevant to the blog. The ads are paid for by companies that want to advertise, and purchase PPC ads. Blogger has full control over the ads placed on the blogs. Each time an Ad is clicked, the blogger earns money. You can track the revenue earned under the Earnings tab on Blogger, under this tab the blogger can customize what ads have been shown, clicked on, and how much revenue has been made from the ads.

Guess that's all there is to it. Sounds simple right? It's not. haha! You have to really be on top of your blogging for Adsense to even consider letting them post ads on your page. They will not pay some small blog only posting once a month (like mine haha!) but with hard work I think most people can be successful at blogging. It would be a great source of extra income for stay at home moms, or just people who like to write or have something to say. The blog has to have a specific purpose and not here, there and everywhere. It's particular but if you're really interested in doing it, there is tons of research out there!
