How To Make Money Blogging
I made this post sticky because it answers the number one question I get asked:
“How do I make money blogging”
Since I make a nice income blogging I have many people come to me wanting me to teach them my system.
Education
What I do instead of charging them a consulting fee (which most people can’t afford) is point them to a product called Blogging To The Bank.
It’s a excellent product written by someone who makes much more money than I do blogging.
Rob the creator shares how he built his blogging income to more than $34,000 a month.
In Blogging To The Bank Rob teaches you:
- Conduct Market and Keyword Research Quickly and Easily
- Web 2.0 Traffic Building Techniques
- Own Your Blogs the Cheap Way So That They Do Not Disappear
- Lightning Fast Blog Creation In Minutes
- SEO Techniques that Shoot Your Blog Rankings Right To The Top
- Surefire Advertising Methods To Pull In Tons Of Targeted Visitors Ready To Buy
- Get Quality Content Without Knowing How To Write

Blogging Platform
Next they usualy ask me what blogging platform to use and where to host their blog. I always recommend people use Wordpress as their blogging platform. No other blogging script or service has as much support or free plugins.
Hosting
As far as hosting I’ve used many hosts and can recommend several. The higgest recommendation probably goes to Hostgator because they are cheap, have good support and allow you to host multiple sites. Another great feature is that they have a one click Wordpress install (which is great for people who are not technical and don’t know how to install Wordpress).
Promotion Tools
So after you learn Rob’s system, have gotten set up with hosting, and have created yourself a blog or two, then I recommend you invest in the following 2 tools to help you automate the promotion of your blog(s).
The first is called Bookmarking Demom and it is a truly amazing piece of software that gets you get unlimited, one-way, high PR links on autopilot. Instead of going over the features here, simply visit the site and watch the videos of the software in action.
The second is called Blog Comment Demon which is another great piece of software that helps you get get hundreds of inbound themed links so you can start increasing your adsense income, affiliate commissions and product sales.
Both products are made by the same company. The software this company creates is very robust and their support is great as well.
And that’s it… that’s all the stuff I recommend someone new to the industry purchase. The rest of the stuff like plugins and other resources are available for free online.
