Running a blog is Just like a company, it needs to stay true to its vision and mission.

Most importantly, You need tons of traffic besides the main objective of making your blog stay true to your goal to build cohesive and successful brand.

And guess what they don't tell you.

You serious about this business?- You need real Traffic/Advertising CAPITAL and real Hard work!

Facebook CPC, Affiliates, Youtube, GDN Remarketing, FBX Retargeting, amongst many more channels.

Forget all those free traffic stories if you really wanna break even.

This is one of the problems we are facing in the blogosphere. Don’t just make Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v your best friend...

Seriously, i've once been into this game and i wasted my materials ranging from mb to time, to battery.

I hate it when people lace insults with advice. You can't even format your content or place a better logo on your blog, yet you are bragging and making noise. Don't think your blog is wonderful my brother.

First of all, I’ll like to point out that the reason why bloggers don’t make money from their blog, is not because they don’t want to, but because they don’t know how to turn ideas into profits.
The ability of turning ideas into profits, is the key to true fulfillment.
According to Wikipedia, A blog is a discussion or an informational site published on the world-wide web and consisting of discrete entries (“posts”) typically displaced in reverse chronological order. We have some blog hosting platforms, they include Blogger, TypePad, WordPress e.t.c. There are so many blogs managed by individuals, hosted on these blogging platforms.

Some of the blogs attracts thousands of views daily. but sadly, most of these bloggers have not spared time to think deep and see the big picture of how their blogs can be a good source of income. Permit me to term the bloggers that doesn’t see beyond burning feeds into his/her blog from other websites a lazy blogger.
For your blog to standout and be a site that attracts huge traffic daily, it has to be unique in some ramifications. This is why i quite appreciate Starttells, most of the articles they post, I’ve not been able to see it on some other websites. Now it takes a unique blog to attract a decent traffic. You are yet to earn a kobo from selling Ads Space, cox your blog is yet to attract that traffic that makes an advert on your site appreciated.
It’s also recommended, for a blogger to find some advertising platforms, like the Google Adsense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, Clicksor e.t.c. Most bloggers don’t earn a kobo from their blogs as a result of the
kind of Web template they had, programmed in their blogs.
You will agree with me that nobody will like to spend time viewing a dull website, or a website with too much animations. Your blog template, has to be appealing and attractive to the general public, before a reasonable profit can come out of it. You have to find an experienced website designer, to construct a nice template. We bloggers don’t make money from our blogs, because we have not discovered the need of affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the internet. It involves selling over people’s products for them and earning a commission on each sale. In order to find suitable affiliate programs, you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook or affiliate market places and networks.
popular affiliate market places includes: Amazon Affiliates, Commission Junction, ClickBank, Azoogle Ads, LinkShare and many more.
Most bloggers also have poor knowledge of SEO. Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or webpage in a search engine result. Hire a Good SEO Specialist, who is a content and keyword strategist and also have a good knowledge of Google Panda and penguin. Bloggers fail to upload
something original.
This is one of the problems we are facing in the blogosphere. Don’t just make Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v your best friend, post something unique. When using a Blog service that offer free hosting such as Blogger, should not be your middle name.
Inasmuch as they offer a decent platform and an excellent value, they are not flexible enough to install the plugins, themes, and other extensions you truly desire. With just $15, you can buy a domain name and
credibility. Some blogger didn’t set out a goal for their blog. I wonder what will be their driving force. The blogger that fails to plan, plans to fail.
Blogger should also have a social presence, like running a Facebook and Twitter Page. They should not put too much time on Social mediums otherwise, their blogs will be at stake. Bloggers that twists the truth to uphold their selfish beliefs and those that neglects the readers opinion, won’t last. When your blog loads too slow, keeps buffering, a visitor after 15 secs countdown will be like “am outta here!”. There is need for you to optimize.
Bloggers should avoid errors, verify your posts before uploading, make sure your articles are not flawed, boring and sucks at making sense. I don’t need to ring it to your ears, that when you stop blogging for a period of time or even daily, your blog is approaching its near end. Not interacting with fellow bloggers or not having a blogging mentor, won’t earn you much. Money works with partnership and connections. Selling Ebooks also pays.
If i am to continue on this topic, my article will be too long that one might easily forget some things i pointed out at the beginning of my post. There are many ways by which a blogger, can earn cool money
online with his/her blog. Sadly, most bloggers, readers including me have not realized that. It was after my research that i just found out the huge opportunities, that abounds in blogging. I hope my post will
go a long way to create an awareness to the general public and possibly be useful in fighting some problems Nigeria has today. Oh! I can’t wait to start blogging.

Now I know why employers don't only look for people with good command of English. It's because having a good command of English without good command of punctuation gives readers/customers a sharp headache, and they would want to avoid that at all cost.

I think one should not set to get rich from blogging. If your blog is pulling a lot of weight, only then should you look at the possibilities of making money, only would making money be fair because you must have worked hard to get there. My blog is a just a few days old and I would enjoy every support in terms of criticism. You can look it up; www.gsmcarecenter.com

It was for a contest, and I was much younger then.

Why not challenge me to design a website logo for you instead? By the way, my blog is still in development stage and even at that, I don't think I'll advertise it here.

It's good to see a sincere post. This is 2016, not 2006; all this wait for free traffic will take forever. Smart advertising does the trick. It isn't free, though.

Man! I really dn't like connecting issues with people, but this is my last word to you.
I have told you earlier that the post is from the archives, then I have not started blogging myself then.
A founder of a blog, called Haba Naija.. I dunno If it still functions, organized a contest which was centered on thus exact topic. That's the topic he gave us to write an article about.
I made that post when I was still new to the internet, and the Nokia C1 which I was using then wasn't good at formatting posts to be published.
But I went ahead to submit it, seeing that am getting few hours to the deadline.
The organiser ended up not paying our 20k.
After I started blogging, I was going through my oldails and stumbled on this. I copied it and pasted here sane on my blog, at least to garner traffic for myself.
I think you should reserve your opinion for yourself, am OK with the way my blog looks now.
