Make Money Blogging

Since I've suggested that people can make some extra income by starting their own blog and since I run a fairly successful blog myself, I regularly get questions about how to start and run a blog that can earn some extra money. In the past, I always referred people to my series on how to make money blogging. But that piece is a bit dated (I've now had over 2.7 million visitors -- not just 100,000) and I need to update it (though, I must say, the tips there are still pretty right on.) Plus, there are those of you who need a bit more detail on the various steps to take to set up and develop a money making blog. Well, I've got good news for you.

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger fame has written a new book titled ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income. My advice for those of you interested in making money with a blog: get it. Buy it or go pick it up at your local library. It's a fairly quick read (at least it was for me -- it will probably take longer for someone not used to the various issues associated with blogs) and chock full of great tips (I found several that I'm going to apply myself.) Darren is a great expert on making money with blogs, and that certainly comes through in this book. It's a must read for those of you looking to pad your income a bit with a blog.

By the way, if you're interested in more details on making money with a blog, here are three sites that can give you more information and details on how to do so:

• ProBlogger
• John Chow
• Shoemoney

I read these three and almost always learn something new to make this site better.

FYI -- your link to John Chow has the url for shoemoney. Was that intentional :)
