I have been blogging for several years now. Started doing journals of my work and life sometime in 2006. Earlier still, 2005 probably, I did a mano-a-mano html editing (notepad) as I update my ’so-called journal’. Back then I have no idea that what I was doing was called blogging. And I have no idea that I can actually earn couple of dollars doing it.

Now, many people are trying out this web log without any idea of what a blog is.

What is a Blog?

When you mention ‘blog’ to the uninitiated, they tend to think that that blogs are online diaries where people share their opinions, ramblings and personal events.

Wrong!

Confused huh? A while ago, I said that I do document my life on a blog. But blogging (or writing) about your personal life or experience is just one of the things that you could do with a blog.

Remember that a blog is a kind of website just like forums or static web pages or wikis. Today blogs are being used for all those sorts of purposes. Companies use blogs to communicate and interact with customers, newspapers have blogs to their main website and individuals that created a blog to share with the world their expertise on specific topics. And so on.

Take my blog for example, I dont’ write (that many) personal post but I do call it my personal web log isn’t it? My other blog, mentions Arnel Pineda a lot (and I have my rea$on$ lol). Then I have this work blog where I talk about techs, work, shell scripting and others. Band concerts and about music is what Pinoybanda is all about. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that blogging is not just for ‘personal diaries’… Write what you love. There are no rules (generally).

Money on Blogs

Is there money on blogs? Well, let me just say first that if you love blogging and writing and sharing stuff, monetizing blogs will definitely follows. I’m no pro, but there are lots of options out there that you can utilize to monetize you blog – adsense, adbrite, amazon affiliates, text links ads etc.

There are tons of keywords out there you can use to get some traffic. Right now there are some adult words floating around web like tube8 and redtube videos which have potential earnings. Yutube and dowload too are possible money earners. Qoutes me on that. :D

I already shared this information with my siblings and hopefully they will blog too about their likes (if not their personal lives). And I’m happy to say that my brothers is starting to earn a few bucks a day about this hobby we call blogging
