Making Money.. How long does it take to make money Blogging

Oh yes - here it comes. The question everyone ask - How long? How long does it take for me to make money. The truth is... I don't know. First what is your expectation.... are you expecting to make millions in your first month? because boy do I have a surprise for you!

How long does it take to make money from a blog
The second question that people normally ask after, “how do I make money with a blog?” is, “how long is it going to take?”. Well just like most things in life, there is no legitimate quick and easy way. It takes time and hard work. As you can see from the chart below it took me a long time before the trend started moving upward. But, for more than a year I was working at it about 10 hours a week. And don’t forget I didn’t know anything about blogging, advertising, getting traffic, etc when I started. So, if you know that ChristianPF is a blog, then you have a head start on me. Also, you have the wonderful privilege of reading this article where I am going explain most of the things that I did to help create that upward trend seen below – that I didn’t know the first year.

From other people I know who make a decent amount from their blogs, this curve seems to be typical. While the first year didn’t yield much income, it was crucial for the second year to be able to. While I wish I could tell you that you could jump right ahead to where the income starts increasing quicker, but I just don’t think it is likely. There are some tips in this article that I wish I would have known at the beginning and I think they will make things go a lot quicker, but there is no getting around the fact that it is going to take time to get there. But just like anything, the more you put in, the more you get out. The two keys are consistency and a willingness to learn. Without them, I would say that it will be very difficult to make money with your blog.

But here is the rub... I don't know you. What you are capable of or who you know.

Perfect example and I wont mention any names or blog site. But there is this guy who had a some what popular blog becuase he was left at the alter and decided that every month he would take his (was to be ) brides wedding dress and do something funny with it and post it on his blog. It did well but not until someone told a newscaster and it found it's way on to the 6 o'clock news. Now he had millions of people visiting his blog in a span of hours. So, who do you know, what do you know and can you put a decent blog together that can attract that amount of interest.
