I'm going to be very honest with you: It's hard to make money from blogging. Most of us have been blogging for years and few make enough to buy groceries each month. It's more like some of us make enough to buy a coffee now and then. ;) I would suggest you read these articles before you hang your dreams on making it rich by blogging: <ul><li><a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2009/01/02/how-much-money-do-bloggers-make-blogging/" rel="nofollow">How Much Money Do Bloggers Make Blogging</a> via ProBlogger</li> <li><a href="http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2009/04/21/8-reasons-why-you-wont-make-money-from-your-blog/" rel="nofollow">Reality Check: You're not going to make money from your blog</a> via Penelope Trunk</li></ul> There is something called affiliate marketing that you can check out. You may be really great at that, I don't know. It's not a fit for me because I feel like I'm always pitching something or asking my readers to buy a product (you get a % of the sale). For many, though, it's a way to make blogging pay off. If you're interested in that avenue, check out Shoemoney.com. Melanie Abby,

I am just being introduced to blogging and I would like some advice from a professional like yourself. I have recently been laid off and stumbled upon this "blogging" idea of earning money at home. I love to write but have never really pursued it. Is there a website that you would suggest for a beginner like myself to actually get acquainted with blogging and start earning some money? I have so many ideas of what to blog about and the whole idea is very intriguing to me. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your time. Hi.
