subject: Start A Business With Paid Blogging [print this page] Blogs took over the internet almost as soon as they were conceived, and what followed were innovation after innovation until finally, people started making money out of them. In fact today, one of the many ways to start a business in the World Wide Web is to start with a blog.
Blogs often make money through sponsors and ad banners or paid links. These advertisements and links are set up on the blog for viewers to click on and follow. Sometimes the blog itself sells something and is sort of a marketing tool. And then there are the blogging networks that pay popular blogs so they can set up their affiliate's money-making widgets or whatever on them-so basically, the blogger gets paid like he or she is working or blogging for that particular blogging network. There are other ways to make money and start a business with a blog, but the point is, at the heart of all this, the content of the blog itself is the most important. Blogs get regular readers if they are well-written, informative, and can connect to their target audience. Persuasive blogs do a good job marketing, but usually most people (especially people who regularly surf the Web and are thus well acquainted with almost all the sales pitches out there) would tend to veer away from marketing blogs, unless they're really interested or after the goods or services being offered.
That said, to start a business with paid blogging, you have to always keep the bottom line in sight: a blog is still a blog, and would only be as successful as its content.
