you can drive traffic in to your blogs. The blogging craze has become more popular over the last couple of years. Everyone seems to have blogs these days. What is a blog? I think most people know that a blog is, an online journal, but it's more personal and unstructured than a website and easier and cheaper to set up than a website.
Creating a blog is as simple as ABC and anybody with a flair knowledge of computer and internet can easily create a blog at no cost on blogspot. All you need to do is pick a name that is relevant to the topic of your blog. Once you have set up your profile and chosen a template, blogging is as simple as sending an email to a friend.
There are several ways of monetizing your blog. Google Adsense is the most popular form of earning through their ads. This is free to join and easy to upload. The ads will match the content of your blog and you will get paid every time a visitor clicks on an ad. Flixya, a google backed social site that have bloggers grouped together to exchange links and upload videos and making new posts are a recommended site that will get your blogs exposed. I have just joined Fixya and found this a great place to drive traffic to blogs. Those who have problem getting their adsense approved should check this site out.

Hi zands,
Yes writing blog is in vogue now. I have as many as 170 blog posts at ibibo.com. Earlier that site used to pay but now this only an exercise activity there. The sites you mentioned pay for blogging and there are some other sites, I know, which pay.
Blog is actually a web log, like a personal diary. And creating a blog does not demand much effort. Once you are in the job is done. Many are earning through blogs.

If you make it right in blogs, you can earn a handsome income more than those sitting in the posh office. I stumbled upon a blogger earning around US$6,000 per month after 3 years of failure in blogging. She never give up. On her 3rd year she is laughing her way to the bank. Blogging entails lots of patience and hard work.

I got signed up, but have yet to get anything started. I tried writing, and hit the publish button, but nothing happens.

You are absolutely right that blogging is an elementary thing to do. What is hard to do is to drive traffic to your blog and eventually earn money from it. I have tried proven ways to drive traffic such as article submission, forums, social networking etc. These are simple ways but sometimes it is hard to drive traffic when you chose a not so interesting niche for your blog.

I admit that it is not easy to compete with those giant bloggers who know their trades well. You need to be truly competent or have specialized interest to make a blog more catchy and drive people to look at your blog. It may take years to really create a good income on a very successful blog.

Flixya eh? That is something new. I have not heard of it before.
I will check it out when I get home tonight.
So far, I am only using adbrite and obeus in my blogs.
If I can get some money generated from my blogs, that will just be sweet!
Thanks for sharing my friend!

so got discouraged and didnt try any more. may try again tho. is that spelled fixya or flixya with an L ?

It might be easier to set up a blog, but difficult to maintain it. Blogs must be specialized to attract targeted readers, and you should be good in increasing friend referrals in whatever ways. Blogging is a good way to develop your online competence, but you need patience to enhance it with continuous endeavours.

I have blogs of my own and there's other ways to make money besides trying to drive traffic to your blog. You can make money by joining pay-to-blog sites that will pay you to write blogs posts. You can also make money by writing for other blogs and they pay you per post. I do both.

your right zandi, creating a blog is just easy as 123...there are so many ways to monetize blogs, html and templates aren't that difficult to arrange and use. I checked out the site Flixya and its kind of promising to me..I'll definitely try this one out and see how it works for me.

It takes a combination of good steady stream of traffic and good content on your blog. They go hand in hand. One without the other really means you are leaving a lot of money on the table

Time that you try your hand in blogging. Look at fatherblogger above you and check on his profile for the link to his blog. He is willing to be our mentor. Don't waste your inborn talent and the net has vast opportunity to display that hidden talent you have in writing. Go for it.

That is right. That is easy to make simple blog with blogspot. We only need gmail and login to blogger. We only make name of url, choose template and make posting. That is very simple. 
But if you want to make more beautiful blog, that is not simple. In the Blogspot, we can modify the template to make more beautiful blog. That must be have skill to modified template. That is same with build the website.
I try to make variation template in my blog. And that must have HTML skill. So, I think to make more beautiful blog we must have HTML skill. But if only make a simple blog, you no needed that skill.
But in my opinion, If our blog very simple, that make visitor go away from our blog.
