Making $1,000/Day From A Blog
Blogging has become a major business, and plenty of people are doing it as their full-time job. One guy that I’ve known for many years, John Chow, made over $7,000 last month alone from his personal blog. Weblogs got bought out by AOL about 1.5 years ago for over $20 million. There is money to be made in the blogosphere world.
How does one go about making the big bucks? The best beginner guide I’ve seen so far was written by Steve Pavlina, a guy that was in jail for felony grand theft at the age of 19. Since then Steve has turned his life around, and launched his own blog. Now he makes $1,000/day, and tells you how he does it and what you should know to do it yourself. It’s a long read, but if you’re serious about making a blog to make a living for yourself, I highly recommend giving it a read.
The article is posted on a blog called “Unusual Business Ideas That Work.” This is one of the sites on my RSS reader, and can be a great inspiration for business ideas. All it takes to come up with the next billion dollar idea is the one spark, and anything can trigger that. This blog posts business ideas that are considered “out there” but have worked for people. One of the most inspirational things you can do for yourself is read other peoples success stories. Motivation is key in order to succeed.
You will notice people like John Chow, Steve Pavlina, and Darren Rowse are making money now with their blogs. You will see a common trait in the advice they all give, and that’s because what they do works. Things like making sure your blog is updated constantly, writing good original content, and experimenting with different advertisers and ad layouts are among many of the equations that make the formula work. It’s not rocket science, but it does take a lot of time, work, and consistency.

). Anyway,I hope to see your blog grow big and sucessful, keep up the good work mate… and…may the motivation be with you
And I just couldn’t agree more.
My friend and I have started our own blog just a week ago, so we are almost in the same position like you are (okay, you have more posts, but there are two of us so we’ll catch up
P.S. It’s quite unbelievable but it seems like our blogs are based on the same theme
Hopefully, we modified our quite a bit, so they don’t look alike

Congrats on your new blog, follow some of the standard rules, stick with it, and you’ll see your blog grow over time. You have an interesting concept for your blog, and I will continue to follow it…I’m all for improving life making small adjustments!
It looks like we are based on the same theme, but you did quite a bit more modifying. Keep in mind that looks aren’t everything, it’s more about content and functionality. Tale a look at Google, Craigslist, and MySpace…all sites that really don’t have good designs, but are huge!
