I've been reading a lot of blogs and I always like to see some personal information in them, not just #'s. Just a thought. Good Luck! I just started by PF blog about a week ago.

I did want to share with you a strategy that has been working well for me of late. I basically write what's on mind 90% of the time, but take time out once or twice a week to write an SEO article - one that I know will do well in the search engines and has potential to drive some traffic, and hopefully some revenue. Keep up the great work!

I feel that $300 is a more attainable goal for me for now. I have been only blogging for 3, 4 months and have not made any money yet. It's nice to know other blogger's income.

I'm obviously not the best person to ask for advice, since I'm working on growing my own blog too. But I'd say writing about something that you enjoy is key, otherwise you probably won't be motivated to stick with it. And linking out to other sites is always a good way to encourage people to link back to you, which helps with SEO and traffic in general. Submitting posts to carnivals and festivals helps with this too, as long as you make sure to link back to the host when the carnival is posted. Good luck!! Lynnae - Thanks! I may take you up on the guest post offer :) Smart Girl, Carla, and Trixie - welcome to the pf blogosphere!

That sounds wonderful:) Great Job Call me slow, but it took awhile before I realized you could make money off a blog. I don't see any other links other than the blog her side bar, do you have terrific traffic or what? Please share any tips you can for us that would love to be in your range. Take Care, Trixie Hi,

Call me slow, but it took awhile before I realized you could make money off a blog. I don’t see any other links other than the blog her side bar, do you have terrific traffic or what?

Please share any tips you can for us that would love to be in your range.

Take Care,

I had another blog (Mama Hearts Baby) that I had a hard time getting motivated to write. It was too broad. I discovered PF blogs and have been fired up ever since and just started a new blog. I'd love some insight from someone who is starting to see some real success. Any words of advice for someone just starting out?

Even one that pays $1.50 per 1000 hits would do better than BlogHer. At least for me right now. But I'm giving them a while.)
