Money

Patience is a Virtue
If there is one place that you will learn that patience is a virtue, it is through blogging.  Yes, you can make money blogging yet it will take time.  You have to build a following and to do so you must produce quality content.  Do not expect to make money within your first month or even three months of blogging.  Instead, focus on producing quality content the first couple months and once that is done, shift your focus to developing a following through marketing.  If these two elements are fulfilled, then you can expect to make money off of your blog.

Considering the fact that I know that this is the first link that many people click on, I should not post the following information yet I also know that there are individuals out there that are still skeptical about blogging.  The following list shows the top earning blogs along with how much money they make a month:

  1. The Huffington Post - $2 million/month
