Default Build a blog to make money?

I was wondering how many of you just build a blog purely to make money?

I do but it's always something that I'm actually interested in. I don't really build blogs just to make money and not enjoy it because I'd go crazy treating it like your everyday work at a typical job.

Readers can tell what it's really about. The ones that do it just to make money usually fail. If you're helping people out by writing about something you like to write about the money will come.

I wouldn't rule out some day writing a blog with the intent to make money but it would definitely have to be on topics of personal interest. I would hate to sell myself to make a buck...

Unless you're talking about like tech gadgets and selling them on the side or something of that nature, it's a good luck type endeavor.

Sub001 how many blogs do you have going at once? How many does it take to make a regular income say 30k-50k a year? What are the subjects?

At the moment, I have about 40 blogs. Most are making very little (under $50/mo). Some are making more (above $500/mo). The subjects are very diverse, but each blog focuses only on one niche.

Even one blog can make 30-50k/y. It all depends on your strategy. I choose to have my eggs in many baskets. The downside is, I cannot devote enough of energy to maximize money-making potential from individual blogs.

In some respects I agree never to put all your eggs in one basket. But currently I have a full-time job so all my efforts are on building one blog and doing it the best I can.

Default Re: Build a blog to make money?

Making money would be icing on the cake, but I don't blog purely to make money.

It gives me a chance to vent, it is an outlet for my creative side (writing), and it is another means by which I can build traffic to a web site. Plus, it is another technology to learn and be informed about when I promote myself to potential employers (it is something else to have on the resume).
