A Good Example Of How Blogging Makes Money
This is a perfect example of why choosing your topic carefully can make all the difference in the world. The following is an excerpt, the link to the complete article is below. If this success story inspires you, simply go back to Lesson 5 to research and find lucrative topics.
"I launched PVRblog publicly on July 16th with half a dozen posts, then announced it on my personal blog. In a matter of hours, dozens of other sites linked to it, the site ascended Daypop and Blogdex's lists, and all told the debut was a big success.
Late that night I remembered the ads and logged into my Adsense account to see how the day went. I clicked over to reports to see the activity. From approximately 3,000 visits (not too shabby at all), enough people clicked through that I made $40 in the first 24 hours. The first thought that came to mind was this:
Great googly-moogly, holy crap. What just happened? What did I do? What does this mean for weblogs? Would the world be covered in textads when I tell people about this?
To say the least, I was a bit freaked out. I was measuring everything in increments of $20, hoping to make my monthly hosting and in one day I had enough to pay for two months of hosting. The next day brought another month of paid hosting, and this continued until a few days later I was a Yahoo pick for new site of the day and it resulted in twice the traffic I'd seen so far and over $100 in click-thrus came in during a 24 hour period.
Once again, I freaked out."
