Blogging

196 Posts

Hi all!
Thought this was the right place to post this
.
Does anyone else have a blog? Is it something you do for fun or do you make a little money from it?
I've recently started a blog on home/lifestyle and linked it to my Adsense but to be honest I think it'll remain a hobby instead of a money earner :rotfl: yesterday I made 8p! I didn't get many views compared to normal though as I didn't publish a new post! Although with my regular views I'd imagine if going by % it'd still only be about 20p! Oh well, it's a good job I enjoy it :T

I've been blogging for four years now, I started in August 2012 and become self employed through it in October 2012!
It works for me but I know it doesn't work for everybody, there is a lot more to be earnt from blogging! I personally don't have adsense, but from fellow bloggers I know it's not the biggest of their incomes when it comes to blogging
I get paid for sponsored posts, product reviews, hosting competitions, posting on my social media, advertising on Instagram and so much more.
It has taken me 2 years to build up to the level I am at and now I regularly have brands contacting me wanting to pay me to work with them. It has been a lot of hard work but I'm really grateful.
It's like any work from home, the more you put in to it the more you will see bac
How do you make money from your blogs? I've got Adsense like I said but that's it so far! I've been offered a few freebies to promote but that's mainly down to my Instagram.
I have a good Instagram following which is steadily growing which is what made me decide to start a blog!
I have 2 successful blogs and write about subjects I'm genuinely interested in. HTH

It depends. Some write sponsored posts, some receive freebies to test and some others earn through adverts although I heard adsense is usually aren't great. Money-making bloggers also earn from referrals to websites. So overall, I don't think there is a "one size fits all" approach to earning from a blog.
I don't expect to make anything from it. It's more of an exercise in affiliate marketting and blog familiarising, a bit of fun.
Which would you choose? Blogspot, Wordpress or something else?
I'm using Wordpress at the moment, but having trouble with the application for Adwords.
