Earning as a blogger
filed in Make Money, SEO on Aug.21, 2008
Initially this blog was set up as a sort of side project to my studies in web design and my uni course. I adapted the blog to be a sort of self resource of material I covered in different module in uni and used it to advance my skills and learn more about blogging and the wordpress cms. As I spent time on the internet looking into different things to do with blogging, one theme was always not far away. Earning money from blogging. This combined with a little SEO and Internet Marketing caught my attention. I am a student at the end of the day.
In the past few months since breaking up from Uni I have been trying a few different ways to earn money on this blog and a couple of others I have. One thing I thought would be a huge problem was not having google page rank. Although this mind have hindered the amount slightly I found that it is still possible to earn money from a PR 0 blog. So here’s how I’ve done:
Money Earned from my blogs: $523.18
Money Earned Online (not from sites): $200+ (round about $200)
That’s over $700. I started my blog in February which makes an average of over $100 per month. Less was obviously earned at the beginning and more in the more recent months. Now this is no amount to get overly excited about, I would need more than that per month before I could even consider doing it full time. But there is hope.
I have a few other new ideas that I’m hoping will start to earn money in a more unconventional way and will look to try new ideas. If you have any suggestions or questions just ask below.

The best money makers have been pay per post and adsense on the blog and mysearchfunds (now homepage friends) for other online money making. Those 3 combine to make over $400 of the $700.

That is pretty good going - but I would be interested to know how much time you have spent on the blogs to earn this money.
Often when the amount is equated into hours worked, the rewards do not seem so great?
