Is Blogging a Good Way to Make Money?
There has been an increase in local philippine based search about blogging, making money online, earning while blogging and making money by blogging since Abe of Yugatech was featured on a segment of a local TV program called Mel and Joey.
Let me make one thing clear: Don’t expect to get rich quick by simply blogging. If you do, Either you have something special going on, or maybe you cheated your way to the top. I sure hope it is the former. Making money online by blogging is a realistic goal with interest (by viewership and advertisers) in blogging at a high, but making a decent amount is (more often than not) tons of hard work. Some people have dedicated their lives to blogging, with multiple blogs and some good financial sense to back them up.
Is Blogging a Good Way to Make Money? It might surprise you, it might even disappoint you, but I don’t recommend it.
A friend is looking to make some money fast. His business is slow and needs to make up the shortfall. He asked about blogging, and I told him that wasn’t the answer. I suggested he get a job instead. Me. A blogging advocate. OK, here comes the clarification. It depends on how much you need to make and how soon.
* Can you make a good income from blogging? Yes, it is possible.
* Can you make good money fast? Highly unlikely.
* Do most people make a good income from blogging? No, I don’t think so.

I actually never realized that blogging could be even considered a way to make money. I blog (write) for the sheer fun of it and the satisfaction of knowing that the words you are putting down on paper, so to speak, may help make a difference in someone’s life one way or the other. But I would guess that making some money off of it would be a great bonus hehe…
