If you are already blogging, you should have already found various ways to monetize your efforts and earn money to offset your online costs and perhaps even derive a profit. I certainly have, and YOU CAN TOO!

There are so many ways to make money with your blog, but I can’t compliment the fine folks at Izea for making it so incredibly easy to do. While my various other efforts derive profits, SocialSpark is undoubtedly the power house that drives my income.

You must keep in mind that Izea takes pride in their service and they have set important standards for their bloggers and advertisers. It can take some time for advertisers to begin seeing your site once you sing up, but once they do, the offers will start flowing your way.

In the way of example, I have several income methods of monetizing my blogs, but there have been months that I have earned nearly $100 just for a few simple posts through SocialSpark. If you are even more dedicated to your blogging efforts you can make much more than that.

While there are so many “iffy” methods out there, SocialSpark is tried and true and I stand by their professionalism and methods as they have helped me in tremendous ways.

Get rich now!

Five easy steps to a Six figure income!

Fire your boss!

These are all too familiar catch phrases today and quite frankly, I am growing tired of them. Why? Simply because not a single one of them is related to a true and genuine (and moral) method of earning substantial income.

When I entered the blogging arena several years ago, I did so because I believed I had something to say that other people might be interested in reading. There was a part of me that desired to make money with my blog, but I didn’t focus in on that effort.Instead, I set forth a goal to provide interesting, factual (to the best of my ability) and timely information.

Over time I continually came across these blindingly flashy banners enticing me to join their program to find out how I too could make a stupid amount of money in no time at all. I nibbled at a few of the more respectable looking advertisements and actually fell for a few others.

Now, let ME tell YOU the real secret…the underlying issue is that all of the offers I have encountered so far fall flat of any real business model. When you read their $49.99 books and manuals, there is nothing there, NOTHING! Sure, there are words, but they are written for one simple purpose: To fill a book full of nonsense so that it looks impressive, and then charge you $49.99 for $.25 worth of knowledge.

This is where the money is…in the racket…not the business. If you want to make it rich quick like “so many others,” you would be better off taking your life savings to Las Vegas than investing a dime in such schemes.

Now, I am not saying that there isn’t money to be made online or from blogging. There is! But if you want it to be fast and easy, you are in the wrong line of work. I have spent years building blogs and websites and it takes time, money, effort, blood, sweat and tears before you start to turn a profit. There, I said it. You don’t want to hear it, but I said it anyway.

If you want to blog, by all means do so. The process is an adventure and it can be rewarding. Will you get rich doing it? There are a rare few who do, but not everyone who blogs has a shiny wallet full of cash.

Take your time, create a blog that interests you and is interesting to others. Over time research avenues and methods of income generation that work for you. I wish I could be more precise and direct you to the golden egg, but if it were that easy, we’d all be doing it already!

Have patience (or get some), be dedicated, honest, and operate with integrity. If you run your blog or website with these basic ideals, you and your customers/clients will be all the better for it. The money will come, but it just may not purchase you that condo on Maui you always dreamed of.

I will add one caveat to this post and that is I have found one resource that falls under the flashy heading of “get rich blogging” that actually does provide knowledgeable assistance and helpful information. I wouldn’t say that the advice I have read from it has made a six figure income for me personally, but it has helped me produce a steady, monthly income from my blogging efforts.

The world of online marketing and business has never been more competitive than it is today and for good reason. While the government continues to grow itself and shrink the common sector, online businesses are growing (and thriving)!

You may think it is too late to jump into the game, but the reality is that now is the right time. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t be here. Now, you may be a bit cynical in thinking you can make it rich and rightfully so. Competition is strong which can tend to dilute the springs from which income is derived, but you can stake your claim and get a piece of the online pie.

If your goal is to get rich, it is possible, but it takes time and effort. If you just want a chance to supplement your income, there just may be no better place for you than the internet.

If you are unsure where to start, that is certainly understandable. There are plenty of jumping on places, but here’s a little help from BlogConduit to you:

You’ll be glad you chose the internet to supplement your family’s income!

Many people enter into the blogosphere with high hopes of turning an instant profit. It is no wonder that so many have this distorted view due to the lure and promise of immediate gratification and easy millions plastered nearly everywhere online. The one thing we can promise at BlogConduit.com is that you can make money blogging. The promise we can’t make is that you can rake in huge profits with little to no work.

Blogging is work, its a job, it takes time, patience, strategy, timing, research, diligence, dedication, practice, oh and did we mention work? It isn’t rational to think that a person can register a domain name, slap up a few advertising banners, walk away and then get daily paychecks. It just doesn’t happen that way.

For starters, many reputable sources of income won’t even recognize your site until it has proven itself in a few different ways. Time is the main concern for these companies. They have invested their own time, talent and treasure into their business model and they have a desire to succeed just like anyone else. They want to know that a blog has a reputation of fresh content over time and that the likelihood of a sustained relationship is possible.

Don’t get it wrong; while blogging is work, it can also be a lot of fun! Who wouldn’t rather work from any location they desire, at any time they desire, with success derived from their own creativity, imagination and perseverance? The ability to cut the cord attached to a time clock is incredibly liberating, but it doesn’t end there. If you are just getting started in the realm of online money-making, I wouldn’t suggest immediately severing ties with your current source of income.

Online income does take time to develop and the best practice is to take the first several months of profit and reinvest it into your online endeavor. It does take money to make money, but the great thing about blogging or other online businesses is that you can start with almost nothing and build from there. It is possible, but it does take a particular type of person to be able to pull it off successfully. Those with a propensity towards laziness should not apply. If you can’t stick with it, chances are that you won’t be willing to make the necessary sacrifices to make it work and your attempt will cost you time and money rather than making it.

You  need to start with a plan, but before you make your plan, you need to read, read, read! Visit many, many blogs and take notes. Write down what works for others and that doesn’t mean the “Pay only $49.99 for instant riches” information. There are probably some reputable and successful plans like those that work, but mostly they are generic sales pitches that try to separate you from your money. You want to make money, so commit to some level of education before diving in head first.
