One of the most common mistakes money blinded bloggers do is they start a blog in popular niche, usually tech or gossip, and start writing just for gaining money off of it. They usually last 2-4 weeks, before they quit, after they get discouraged by the 2.36$ in their Adsense account. Be smart, if you’re starting a blog with the intention to make some money off of it, do yourself a favor and write about what you’re good at, doesn’t matter what niche, or else you’re early enthusiasms will burn out pretty fast and so will your blog. * Put your content and readers before everything else, that includes any money making schemes you may have. If you don’t respect your readers, how can you expect they’ll respect you ? * Don’t monetize your blog with any kind of networks or affiliate programs from the start. Some people think it’s ok to start right from the beginning with your blog monetized, thinking “you never know when someone clicks a ad.” While that may be true, you’ll be loosing a lot of potential faithful readers in the process, the fact is a lot of people (including me) don’t like ads and will cause a few to believe they’re being used. This all depends on how good your content is and your respective niche, generally I’d recommend you start your monetizing your blog when you reach something like ~500 unique visitors a day. * Don’t exaggerate with advertisement. People get really turned off by ads, but even more get really disgusted when they’re hit with ads after ads, when trying to read one of your posts. Master the art of subtle and profitable ad placement, and you’ll be just one step away from making a whole lot of money. * Traffic, Traffic, Traffic. A few lines above I told you how traffic equals money, well if you want to many a decent buck on the internet using your blog you need to build a lot of traffic, that will eventually convert into affiliates, buyers, subscribers, ad clickers etc. Keep in mind though, not any kind of traffic will do, it’s imperative you drive targeted traffic to your blog, that’s actually interested in the content you provide, and thus most likely to stick around, actually read your work and click your ads. The best targeted traffic comes from search engines, PPC campaigns and niche referrals.
