Nothing in this world is free, it takes time and money to set up a website and run it (especially if you are providing bandwidth consuming content), a few ads on the site that may return you a few $ every month helps cover the costs.

I started my blog after I learned how to make a couple bucks on the side. I mostly have it there to give the link to people who are new to surveys and GPT to get them started. I have made money at it so I am in the process of buying a new domain and hosting. I have another blog that is strictly for fun :)

Hi,
I’m trying very hard to make money from my blog. It would be great if I can make more money from my blog. It seems that I’m not alone in the blogosphere trying to make money from blog.

Nice posts Darren. :)

Well, while loads of free blogging platforms are available now days such as Google’s Blogger, Wordpress, LiveJournal, MindSay and loads of others, one might think why they need to pay from pocket to write down their inner thoughts?

I just set up my first blog and an not sure how you go about making money. I am one of the 46% bloggers who is in it for the money. I mean if you are getting a large amount of traffic, why not monetize it for a profit. http://moneymakingsurveys.blogspot.com

[...] It’s not unlike the gold rushes of old; where the success of the few, widely publicized becomes the desire of many. But again, if you are like the minority of people that are in it solely for the money, you’re not a true AmBlogger money. I can only hope that at least one out of the many Blogs that you will spawn will meet some success enough for you to keep at it! Good luck! [...]

I am definitely doing it for the money. Once I make enough money where I do not have to work anymore, then I would concentrate my efforts on blogs and surveys as a hobby. I am really making good money from free paid surveys http://www.surveyclub.com/go/12741

The survey has too few choices. Here are a couple additional ones that would cover most of the popular politically-oriented bloggers:
a) I have a political agenda but I’m not paid to promote it
b) I have a political agenda and I’ve kinda been more or less paid to promote it if you really want to split hairs about things then yeah, but I really don’t think I was paid despite what they said.

Then there’s the nerdosphere and the teen girl blogs and such. If most people do it because they like writing according to the survey, that’s only because they didn’t want to choose one of the other options.

What’s wrong with making a profit off of a blog and a substantial one at that? If I just made back just enough to cover my hosting fees on what I consider to be my professional sites, I would be extremely disappointed. Most people would envy someone who can make a living off of their hobby or their passion but when it comes to blogging, many believe that monetizing your writing cheapons whatever it is that you have to say.

Interesting stuff. I fall mostly into the 28% of “Fun and it would be nice to make some money.”

Another good headline would have been: 0% of Bloggers In It For The Chicks :)

CSB,

No discussion is ’stupid’, especially one such as this, where opinions obviously differ.

What about blogs that have been going for years with no advertisements, but now have a few in an attempt to cover costs – are these still classed as being ‘written to earn money’ – and I assume from your tone, written for no other reason?
