If you have been reading this blog from the start, you know that the theme is how to make money blogging or more accurately how much money can I make? Can I make 6 figures? How long will it take me to reach that threshold? You may be wondering why you do not see any ads on my site. How the heck can I make money without running ads?
There are two schools of thought on when to start monetizing your blog. Some people start on day one while others wait at least 3 months or until they have a certain amount of readers. I have decided to wait until I have at least 30 quality posts before experimenting with ads. So do not get used to seeing no ads here, believe me they will be coming.
On a side note, I wanted to provide a quick update on how things are going. I am seeing a slow steady growth in the number of daily visitors but nothing significant yet. Yesterday was my best day with 48 unique visitors. This is no where near where I want to be, but I realize that I am just starting out and this blog is less than 2 weeks old. I am looking for steady growth and the one thing I have going for me is perseverance and patience. For the next 2 weeks I will be focused on writing quality posts and update you on what I am doing with my blog.
I think many things that used to work are no longer effective. One needs very large traffic and then things will convert.
I went at it after 20 posts. I just went with the adsense approach with reasonable results nothing to fabulous. I think it is strange though, I was a webmaster years ago and stopped. Just recently I decided to give it another attempt and when I got online and dug back into the webmaster world I found blogging something I have never even heard of. Now I have two blogs which help me make money as well as my website. I don’t know, but now adays if you want to make money online whether it be through a website or forum you need a blog that is constantly updated. I think it is a good thing though to wait a while before you begin with placing ads on your site. 30 posts definatly seems resonable.
