Can you REALLY Make Money Blogging?
I wish that I had done some real research before I started my blog. I had no idea you could make money blogging.
Originally, I began it as a way to talk to people about things they were asking me. As time went on, I started doing more and more reviews and giveaways. Now I prefer to do less of that, and more genuine sharing. I love to connect to my readers and to make new friends. I’ve enjoyed sharing about homeschooling, doing wordless Wednesdays, and inspiring others about paleo eating lately!
You Absolutely Can!
I’ve since looked all over the web for amazing opportunities to really make my blog worth the time that it takes to write on and promote. I’ve become affiliates with many great websites and resources, so if you click on a link to another site, it is an affiliate link. I may make a few bucks if you decide to purchase or participate, just to be clear. 🙂
- The first resource I want to share with you is absolutely free for the month of May. You will get access to a 4 Week Blogging Class, weekly chat sessions (she sends transcripts, so if you can’t make it – no problem!), and….. maybe my FAVORITE – one free year of GoDaddy Web Hosting. This alone is an $84 value! This website is being hosted using that freebie right now, so I assure you that it’s legit! 🙂 Check out more Blogelina Products & Services.
- Another great website is Smart Blogging Skills by Kelly McCausey. She has a ton of wonderful resources and products available. I’m actually participating in an internship with her right now on Low Carb Mom to hone my own blogging skills. She is very motivating and has awesome an awesome Solo Smarts Blog & Podcast. You can even get one on one help. She’ll show you how to be a solopreneur.
- There are TONS of amazing Google Hangouts to learn more about successful blogging. I have 2 favorites right now. The first is Holly Homer’s Blogpreneur Hangouts. My other favorite is one with Kelli from 3 Boys and a Dog and Crystal from Crystal & Co. Kelli has tons of great free articles on blogging, and Crystal has a whole section on her blog, including replays of the Google Hangout sessions, for those learning to blog (or to blog better)!

I have always found in life, if you follow your passion and do what you love, the money always follow. You have to just stay high vibration and allow it. Most people put their attention in a negative way on money and don’t realize how they cause their own resistance to allowing it to flow to them.
I have helped many people make money in many ways on and off line just by helping them release those blocks.
Then, opportunities like what you mention above actually really work for them
🙂
Thanks for the great information.

I think my best resource for now is other bloggers. Networking has been invaluable to me and I would be so lost without my “underground FB groups” as I call the. 🙂

Heck, yeah!! Networking is so awesome. PLUS, it’s free, except for the time investment. 🙂

I love contacting other bloggers too. I don’t make any money blogging. Nor do I want to. I just want to make a record of the year 2013.

Blogging is and can be about SO much more than just money, that’s for certain! I think any time someone begins a blog, it’s beneficial to come up with some goals – monetary or not. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
