How come some Bloggers make so much Money?
By Astrit Kita • Dec 17th, 2007 • Category: Blogging Tips, Make Money OnlineIt is the question of every one that is starting a making money online blog, how come some of the bloggers make that much money (where that much money for you would be $1000 and for someone else $20000). The fact is that everyone that starts a blog with only ONE intention in their mind, MONEY, is most probably going to fail unless he has some really secret tips to share with the community.
Ok, we touched the argument, secret tips, or rather as you have read in many others blogs unique and useful content. It is not a big secret, it is not something that you can’t really understand or that does not make sense. Think about your blog for a moment and compare it to a bar, what does your bar need to have in order to make money? People aka clients, now it comes in game that secret which is not that secret.
You have most probably seen in your neighborhood a bar that opens under new management this month and it closes for ever the next month. The problems could be; the place where the bar was located is in wrong corner, the bar is not well dressed up, the owner of the bar is not passionated at all on running a bar but he thought it could be a good business or simply the owner of the bar doesn’t have enough friends.
In blogging some of those rules apply as well, the first thing it requires is, to be passionate about the topic under which you are building your blog, if there is no passion and you are running the blog just to make money online you will most probably fail, if you have the passion of that subject you will most probably write more in depth articles and discuss arguments from your point of view, thing which will touch the readers that share the same passion and jump on board to discuss that argument from their point of view, so there we go, we got people to our blog. Your post and the commentators will explain that argument from different point of views, and don’t lie yourself that readers won’t be reading the comments, they will, and actually it is possible that they will agree with one of your commentators statement and jump on board. A good post with useful informations will most likely intrigue readers to see what other useful arguments you have wrote about, and here comes another regular reader to your blog.
As you can see, the whole discussion is directed to traffic, readers, and whoever tells you that traffic is not necessary to make money online than let me tell you they are filling you with crap. You need people to sell your products, and you need visitors to click on your ads.
Now enters in scene the big part, when you have already build credibility to your readers because you are passionate on what you are writing and your arguments do make sense which reflects to the fact that you do actually know what you are talking about. Why do you need all this credibility thing? If you remember I told you that the big money makers actually make most of their money from affiliates, it requires less work but more credibility so that your readers can trust you and sign up for something you are referring them. Most of the readers will not actually mind if you are using affiliate links when referring them to another site or you are using simple URL structure.
Another point that I would like to highlight is the fact that bloggers that are passionate on their topic do have a huge readers base or rather, they do build a huge readers base as time passes. All this results in decent traffic, a traffic which you can only THAN monetize at the point you were always dreaming, private ad sales. It all becomes your game now, you got the reader base, you got the active commentators, you get the visitors and all these are things which advertisers note, and if they WILL note than they will most probably like to advertise on your site, and private ad sales is the biggest money maker ever existed, as you manage the rules, you approve the ads and most important, you get 100% of the revenue.
But to achieve all that road, we need to get back to the core of this post, putting your passion online, running a blog about which you are passionate and you do actually know what you are talking about. Before you make money online, have you started really a blog under a subject you are passionate of?

Okay Astrit, I’ll try Text Link Ads and Web Domain…I’ve never used them, but if you think they’ll help me make money- I’ll go there today…I’ll let you know my results….Sheryl n Kansas
Hi Sheryl,
You might have mis interpret me, what I mean is that making money through affiliates is much easier and the amount of money you can make is bigger than with CPC, but of course it is your job to find the affiliate that best works for you and your skills on how you promote them. Usually a honest review works way much better than just placing an ad banner.
It is also true that if you have a website talking about cars it is more likely that an car affiliate site will perform better for you rather than promoting a web hosting company or text link ads.
Hope this explains better what I meant, now if we’d like to to connect passion blogging and affiliates than definitively related products will work much better and especially if you like the product and recommend it to your readers.
