Gonzalo Arzuaga 2009-10-06T22:47:50Z 2009-10-06T22:47:50Z <p>Well, I'll say bloggers have mainly 2 sources of income: 1) based on the traffic they get, making advertising money. Problem is: you need a heck of a lot of traffic to make some money 2) based on the reputation in the industry, you could make money several ways: as a consultant, as a speaker, maybe as an author. But technically that wouldn't make it a revenue source from your blog, but as a result of it.</p> http://startups.com/questions/11/how-do-i-make-revenues-out-of-a-blog/22#22 Answer by John MacIntyre for How do I make revenues out of a blog?

Soyzarko 2009-10-16T17:26:30Z 2009-10-28T17:17:51Z <p>I think it all depends about market, niche, industry you are covering with your blog.</p> <p>If you are a hardworker, if you have a very special knowledge, if you want to learn a lot and work a lot of money could arrive after a certain period of time, at least 2 years of very hard work. Your objective must be only one: Be the Best, be the most reputable in that niche that you are covering.</p> <p>You can get much more with a % of products or/and services that will be sold within your Blog than with tons of ads with a low CPM.</p> <p>Over again: less is more.</p> http://startups.com/questions/11/how-do-i-make-revenues-out-of-a-blog/31#31 Answer by Pepe Amorin for How do I make revenues out of a blog?
