How To Blog and Earn Money At The Same TIme?

Posted on 25. May, 2009 by Ashwin in Blogging

I see a  of people new to blogging think that the only way to earn money of blogging is to actually start a blog and keep posting until death; there are other ways to earn money too. Ut might take more time and effort on ypur part but when was the last time Mr.Lazy Bones got paid?

1. Blog for others ( Ghost blogging):Why should you just have one blog and keep posting to it,hustle up enough traffic to see it bringing revenue, when you can start making anywhere from $300 – $1500 a month just by writing blogs for others.Blogs such as problogger.net and copyblogger have plenty of blogging gigs you could take up. Alternatively, you may want to check elance or guru.com out. A decent blog should net you a retainer of anywhere from $ 65 per month and counting upwards — the actual retainer only you can set. with sufficient number if clients I don’t see why you can’t make a living out of this alone while your blog morphs into a golden goose.

2. If you  can write, you got cash: The first  point kind of reminded me of another amazing possibility: why not write articles, white papers, reports, email newsletters, email-courses, e-courses, e-books and a whole lot more if you know how  to write. If you are a blogger per se, this could be an amazing way to keep respectable cash flows about you. Again, elance and guru might just be the kind of places you are looking for.

3. Be a VA: If you don’t know how to write and if you were originally thinking of outsourcing the content development part to a professional blogger or writer, evidently the above two options aren’t for you. What would you do then? Become a Virtual Assistant. A virtual assistants do everything their clients can do away with. It is hard work and might not pay as much as writing, copywriting or blogging, but revenue is revenue and I won’t bat an eyelid if I had to do it in exchange for a respectable fee.

You don’t have to wait until your blog starts earning you money. You can start earning cash right now with the above mentioned ideas. Now don’t be foolish and assume that money would come in just like that. An earlier post on incompetence and unrealistic expecations should knock your head in this regard.
