First, two popular misconceptions:

1) It is easy to set up and anyone could do it and start making heaps of easy money tomorrow.

2) You need a high page rank website with stacks of traffic to make the best income.

In fact, the truth is somewhere in the middle. And I will explain why and where it is during this article.

Through my experience, you need a bit of everything. A site with a low, or no, page rank is just going to attract low value offers. Maybe $1.50 per 100 word article. At the same time, a high page rank weblog may attract offers of $30 per article, but there will be loads less offers.

A lot of advertisers believe that the best value comes from masses of cheap adverts, whilst others prefer several expensive offers. I won’t go into which I think is best here.

But this means that if you just have 1 low page rank website you are going to need loads of work to make an income, whilst a better ranking website might not need so much work, but there is not as much out there.

So, to earn an revenue through blogging, you need not one but plenty of websites. You need to set-up and create a handful of them and again, spread in excess of several niches to attract most interest. Whilst loads of advertisers do not care about matching themes, you may as a blogger with a well ranked site. By having different themes, not only does it make the work more interesting, but you are increasing your chances of attracting work all of the time and spreading the workload.

What are the steps then to a successful blogging revenue?

First, set-up some blogs. Think through some niches that you are interested in and might write about. Again, this is not the place for discussing how to set them up!

Next, start writing. To attract advertisers you should really aim to write at least one, possibly even two or three, non paid posts for every paid post you write. Also, it is a requirement of some systems that the weblog has been live for 90 days and has 20 posts before you could join anyway.

Now, start submitting a few articles to article directories and as guest blogs. This increases the number of links into your website, something that plenty of advertisers will judge you on before picking sites.

When you are writing and especially when you are submitting articles, favour at first several of your websites. Concentrate on one or two of them so that these blogs start to gain more of a page rank than the others. These become your high ranking blogs. As the ranking on these sites improves, bring in more new websites and concentrate a few writing on these.

Your aim is a spread of blogs through niches and ranking. That is the best preparation for heaps of income through blogging.
