How much time do you spend reading other blogs about making money and how much they make? Do you enjoy it? Do you like seeing how John Chow is making a large amount of cash and you are not? Do you think that John Chow or Problogger will tell you all the secrets you need to know?

All these are good questions to ask yourself. I have been speaking with someone that has been very enlightening about what it takes to make money. To make good money with a blog it has to be used for something other than the subject of making money. I will be the first to tell you that this blog doesn’t receive what it could if it were more niche related when I started. Hosting tips and hosting help are a part of this blog but are not given the attention they need.

To be successful with a blog or a website, its obvious you need good hosting and you need good rankings in Google and you need a working knowledge of what can get you traffic. But remember, one blog or website might not get you that. A lot of the people that you think are successful are “starving” as a friend put it. What this means is you have to find what works for you with your own investigation.

Blogging Zoom is a tool I have mentioned before, and I will mention it again. Use It!! With a combination of participation and writing good content it will help you.
