As a craft blogger who primarily writes about current craft projects or writes opinion-pieces on the craft community, it's difficult for me to decide how (or even if) I would monetize the blog. What I don't want are annoying or irrelevant ads. Ideally, I would love to have a minimum of tasteful private ads related to what my readers would like. Naturally, I still have to generate enough traffic to be able to do this. A recent traffic spike, along with much residual traffic and links has produced some very busy days and overall higher traffic, along with some new subscribers, but I haven't been writing the blog for even a month yet. So it's personally fascinating for me to read about your blog, since your blog is always relatively young. <em>Genuine's last blog post..<a href='http://thelumpysweater.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/ninja-church-knitters-we-fight-dirty/' rel="nofollow">Ninja Church Knitters: We Fight Dirty</a></em> What’s paticularly different for me as a blogger (than most anyway) is that I don’t blog about making money, blogging, how to sandpaper your driveway or anything like that.

But it just paid for my Trend Micro subscription! I just would like to make a few bucks here and there. While getting a good amount of readers. More important - I like to write because it connects me to so many people on so many different levels. I don't even read Chow anymore because I thought it was just so boring. Plus honestly? I often wonder if all that money is real. I like your blog because you are real, honest and you write well. That's what keeps me coming back. <em>Simple Mindz's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Simple-mindz/~3/267348699/' rel="nofollow">Fitness Update week 8 & 9.</a></em> Well, I might make 50 bucks a month right now…lol.

I was sure that it was easy to make money by blogging but I today realize that it will take some time and certainly some good posts :) As I said, I started 4 days ago and I already made 20$ thanks to my sales associates. Let me know what you think about my blog and thank you for making me realize that I won't be rich tomorow :D Hi,

Content is tough but once you get in a groove it becomes easier and easier. I am not a fan of adsense on blogs...it doesn't typically do all that well. Hart - Ouch...all those blogs, time and effort and it looks like you posted a negative profit for February. That is another beef I have with "income" reports is that most of them don't list expenses. Revenue doesn't matter....profit is the real deal. Bennie - Gotcha. Content is tough but once you get in a groove it becomes easier and easier.

I've posted my Feb2008 earnings over at http://HART-Empire.com .. I'm not that successful, but you can see that at least since Jan/2007 .. revenues and traffic slowly increase over time, if you keep at it!

I was talking about other blogs I have with adsense probably more than 3 months each one and not impressive traffic but at least something and still only 3 dollars. I dont expect to become millionare with adsense but at least 7 dollars a month jeje. Thanks! Bill:
