The internet is full of ways to make money. There are a lot of 
different approaches you can take to make money online. Let me 
introduce you to blogging - more specifically let me explain to you how 
people make money blogging.What Exactly Is Blogging Anyway?According to Wikipedia:A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.In 
plainer English, a blog is a website that shows the newest entries at 
the beginning, usually on the homepage. This website is a blog, and for 
that reason you will always find my newest writing on the homepage, at 
the top. As you scroll down, you will find the other entries I have 
written, newest to oldest.What Are Blogs About?There 
are blogs about everything! This blog teaches people how to make money 
online. There are blogs about sports, news, fitness, cooking, humor, 
teaching, parenting, celebrities, and everything else you can imagine.Blogs 
are a great format for news sites. Since blogs show the newest entries 
first, readers can easily find the most recent news stories. Bloggers 
(those who blog) post news about every industry, and provide their own 
opinions on the subject matter.When blogs first started, they were 
created primarily to be online journals, but have now evolved into 
websites about anything and everything.How To People Make Money Blogging?The 
simple answer to that question is that blogs get traffic and convert it 
into money. Getting traffic is very possible with a Blog, in fact it''s 
much easier to get traffic to a blog than it is to get traffic on 
traditional websites. Traffic is a subject that I won''t discuss here, 
but if you''re interested in that you can see the promoting your blog 
section of the site.Blogs can develop quite a following by people 
interested in the blog''s industry. Popular blogs can get thousands of 
hits per day. Gizmodo, Engadget, and Perez Hilton are three mega 
popular blogs which all get hundreds of thousands of visitors per day.The 
traffic of most blogs is converted to money through advertising. That 
probably sounds difficult to you if you''re new, but it''s actually 
really easy. The primary revenue streams of most blogs are:Ad-Boxes Google 
Adsense - Anyone can sign up for this service and it''s 100% free to 
use. Google will display Ads on your blog and pay you when they get 
clicked on. This is by far the easiest way to make money with your 
blog. If you look closely at my pages you will find ad units labeled 
''Ads by Google''. See More Info about Google Adsense at http://myadsensetips.blogsome.com Yahoo! Publishing - Yahoo''s version of Adsense. Yahoo''s version is also free to use. Contextual 
Ads - These are ads that are displayed throughout the text of your 
blog. If you look closely through my pages you will see links that are 
double underlined. These are actually ads and if you hover over them, a 
little ad-box will pop up. The contextual ad company will pay for 
clicks on the links or the ad-box. Intelitxt - The first major 
company to offer this type of advertising. It''s quite difficult to get 
an account with them unless you have over 500,000 hits per month. Kontera - Another player in the contextual ad game. Kontera is easier to sign up for when you''re still small. Affiliate 
Programs - Many bloggers sell products and services for other sites and 
receive appropriate commissions. There are tons of sites out there that 
offer free, affiliate programs including: Amazon eBay Shopping.com Text 
Links - Bloggers can sell links from there pages to other websites. 
Most bloggers that use this kind of revenue stream use a company called 
text-link-ads.com. Their service is free to use and their company will 
sell the ads for you. The sites that purchase them pay monthly, and you 
get paid monthly. Direct Sales - Some bloggers sell their own products and services. How Much ?That''s 
really tough question to answer. Some blogs create $500,000 per year 
and some make $0. The amount a person can make with a blog depend on a 
lot of factors including:Blogger''s Knowledge and Experience Quality and Quantity of Blog''s Information Marketing Determination Longevity Luck (This isn''t a joke but it is of course possible to create luck.) I 
think that it''s very possible to create an income in the high five and 
even six figures for individuals that posses the right talent and 
determination. If you are thinking about becoming a blogger, you should

my opinion, blogging is the easiest of all the methods of making money
