As everybody knows, one can earn by writing blog to attract traffic and trun the traffic to money using Adsense or other advertising program. Yet, I always doubt: driving traffic to a site is no easy job - especially when PTC, PPC or automatic traffic exchange are all banned by Google.
I personally didn't try to earn by writing blog. Yet, does earn by blogging really worth the time?
Also, putting the same ammount of effort, is blogging really a effective way to earn?

Hi,
Yes you can certainly make some very good money via blogging. But you do need to be prepared to put in some time and effort and have some patience. When it comes to earning from blogs or websites, you firstly need to take the time to research your chosen niche. Find out what people are searching for (what keywords etc) come up with several posts related to those keywords, find related affiliate products etc. Then you need to promote it via things like article marketing, link building, good seo etc.
The bonus of earning from blogs (aside from the enjoyment you get from being creative etc) is that once it's set up it's there for life. You're building a passive income that can continue to grow for you.

yes you are able to make some real money from creating a blog, but in order to make money from it, you need to have alot of hits.. so you need to have alot of viewers to your blog to make the money.. so remember to try your best to make your blog interesting.

I think blogging is for those who can write good articles. You can really earn from it. You can submit your blog to payperpost or reviewme or any paid blogging site and can actually earn good amount. If you can put good contents and can actually write good quality article, blogging can be worthwhile. This is my own opinion only.

Yes I do earn extra money through blogging and it requires a lot of hardworks to drive traffic to your page. I earn 50-100$/month so far and it isn't easy to reach this amount. If you want to try blogging, don't think of the monetary rewards that you will get out of it because you will just end up in frustration, just enjoy writing good, informative and updated articles. Then market your page, join bookmarking site, answer forums with your link, make a lot of friends to the blogging community you are in and comment on their page so that they will also visit your page. These are just some ways I've tried to drive traffic to my site.
