Remember, most blogs take time to make money and the key to success is patience and something unique to offer whether it is a service, product or content. Ideally, you have a well-balanced mix of all the successful components to make money from blogging. Don’t get disheartened by all the big numbers above; look for ways to stand out. Sometimes all you need is a change in approach; if you are pitching for direct clients you may want to consider looking for agencies. The first 10 or so clients may not necessarily come to you rather you may have to go get them.
The internet is the biggest marketplace in the world so feel free to hunt for your first few clients. Once you have a few repeat clients you could be well on your way.

Hello Cent,
It’s a nice blog you have here, and a wonderful article to compliment it.
I use google adsense on my blog and I earn quite a reasonable amount, I wish to earn like this big minds someday.
Affiliating is also a nice way to earn from your blog, I’ve tried it out but for now its not favourable to me, but i know with time it will.
Thanks for sharing and do have a wonderful day ahead. 🙂
Hi Larry,
Glad you like the blog and this post. You mentioned Google AdSense is working well for you, do you have a lot of traffic to make this work? I am sure readers in our community might benefit if you can share your experience/learnings.
You have a great day as well.
Thanks,
Cent

Hi Tols,
You are very welcome and glad you found the post inspirational. Thanks for the comment and share by Sherman.

Found this post on a Linkedin group. This is an inspirational post for those who want to make money blogging. What I can see for most of these successful bloggers is that they have found a proper niche for themselves to explore and they have dug deep into it. Most newbie bloggers fail to find a proper niche and ultimately find themselves drowned in the middle of the sea.
Hi Mukesh,
Well said, completely agree with you. Glad you found the post inspirational. Thanks and Good luck.
Cheers, Cent
Hey Cent,
This gives me motivation to keep going. I do affiliate marketing and it can be a big challenge.
But I know that it’s possible to make great money do affiliate marketing. There’s so many avenues anyone can take via blogging, but you definitely want to pick the best strategy that you enjoy and works best for you.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sherman,
You hit the nail on the head there; it is definitely wise to pick what is is best for you. One thing I would like to add, I was trying way too many avenues and once I specialized and provided a service around that I started to see good income. Thanks for the comment and good luck 🙂
Maybe one day we can make it into the list too!
Cheers, Cent
