Yup, I have just started make my own blog. I choose wordpress for my blog. I think this is better than blogspot even though I don't know what is the advantage of using word press . I don't know how to earn money using my blog yet but I just started it instead of posting my articles in other site. Due to my "new activity", perhaps I will leave mylot for the moment. I hope I can create my blog eye-catching so it could get many traffic . What about you? Have you create your own blog or you are master blog already? Please share with us here.

Hi there de_toya!!! Well I have a blog before but i only posted four articles in it and since then I have never been active in blogging anymore.I've been busy in my class and I never got the time to write some articles anymore.Well I guess blogging isn't really for me.But even so I dont regret starting my blog,at least I've tried. Well maybe I'll try blogging again if I have more extra time,but I guess I'll be busy finding a real job this coming days.I just hope that you will succeed in your blogging.Enjoy!!

Thanks jordq7, actually I do not enjoy blogging yet. I have just made my account in word press but I don't know what to do next. I think it's not easy as I thought. However, I want to go on forward. I will learn more about blogging because I believe this will give me extra income. I think you should try to blogging again. You have started and I am sure you will find no problem to continue your work. Good luck and have a nice day.

I've been blogging off and on, but not earned any money on it. I guess you have to write the most attractive content to be a successful blogger. However I wish you the very best of good luck to do well.

Yes you are right. I have to make my blog eye-catching so everyone who visit my blog will interesting. However, make such blog is very hard. I was thinking too much how to make interesting blog so I didn't make my first post . I think I need learn more and more on how to blogging. I hope somebody here would help me.

It's great to hear to that you have started your own blog. It is one way to earn passive income. However, be aware that you will not be able to monetize on wordpress free account. I started a few blogs of my own but found that it is not easy. Here is my review: http://adf.ly/1FcJn If you can't get the traffic, then it is better for you to contribute to sites like Bukisa or Triond. You will find that you need less effort to get the same earning (or even more). As I said, I have a few but the others are not getting the traffic enough to generate any earning. Sites that will make money and have constant earnings will be those that readers will need to come back to refer from time to time. The following site is an example: http://adf.ly/1FcPz I do not want to discourage you but am just sharing my own experience. Good luck!

HI! Its a good thing you start blogging already! I have a lot of blogs, as in a lot! It is not self-hosted.. There are few in bloggers and some in wordpress! I also got a website.. I am making money on it but not much, just enough for my expenses! I am proud I have studied and set it all up by myself! :)

That is good if you could earn from your own blog. I want to be like you, get extra money from my own blog and not just from others site. However, some member said that we have to actively post articles in our blog (update) to make it up to date inorder to get more traffic and keep the reader stay on our blog. I realize, I am not active writer and I have main job as well. I doubt I can keep my blog up to date. This mean, I won't get anything from my blog . What about you? Do you actively update your blog to get money from it?

I made a blog of mine few months ago. But i have never been active. Sometimes i feel that i should start posting to my blog and think about earning some money but i get so busy that i don't even have time to think about it. So, finally i dropped the idea of having a blog. But if you can remain active, you will indeed do good. Good Luck!

I doubt if I can post actively in my blog since I have main job. Sometimes, I am too busy in my blog so I can do anything else even for visit mylot. I doubt whether I will continue blogging or not since my main motivation is to make passive income. Whereas, to earn from blog we should post actively in our blog and bring traffic otherwise, we couldn't earn anything .

Thank you for the information, however I've just started and didn't post anything yet . After I make some post, I will thinking about how to bring traffic to my blog. Right now I want to learn how to make my blog look good and not just standard like the template provided by the wordpress. Unfortunately, thinking too much on how to make good design blog has made me did nothing. I didn't post anything yet

Yes, I've heard of wordpress and I'm actually looking into it myself. I'm doing all manner of research in order to try and earn some kind of income online and I'm in the very early stages of this. I will definitely continue with My Lot regardless of what I do otherwise. I did have a blog once upon a time on blogspot but I found it difficult to maintain this. I think there are so many different things that you can do online these days and it's very easy to become overwhelmed by all the information out there in cyberspace! I really wish you well with your blogging adventures! Andrew

I have a private blog too. But I don't earn money from it. I only write about me to share with friends. I think that the ranking of your blog must be large, you can earn from it.
