Blogger vs. WordPress

I have been blogging for the first time this during this summer. I found nothing else besides writing random articles and posting them to this blog as a good niche. It was the only thing that I had some experience in, so I thought, "Why not?" and started my blog.

It has been about two months since I started it. I didn't know how to blog the right way at first, so I messed up repeatedly. Instead of putting the good content I wrote on my blog, I posted them on all the sites that payed me to write. Did I make any good money? No. But you can. If you don't follow my same mistakes.

But if you already messed up miserably, my advice to you is to just start over.

You have two choices for this. Either start up another blogger blog, or go to a different service. One of the other sites I rank really high is WordPress. WordPress is one of the best platforms for blogging. Compared to blogger, it is much more customizable, and has a sleeker interface than Blogger.

I tried to create a blog on WordPress, but because I don't ever plan anything out, I failed miserably. That's what I hate about it. You have to plan a blog before posting. On Blogger, you can post anything you want, but you can fix it. I really like WordPress, but you have to plan everything out beforehand. Your blog can't be like mine. In order to be successful from WordPress, you have to remember to plan what your blog is supposed to be about, plan some posts ahead, and NEVER give your content away to paid submission sites. Only give like one article a day to other sites. Make three posts ONLY for your blog.

Writing for money: Is it worth it?

Here is the one word answer: NO.

Writing for money is definetly not worth it. You will barely make any money. That is, IF you make any money. I was one of the successful people who made almost ten dollars in three months, but it really is not worth working day and night for something that isn't going to do crap to you.

So after having nothing to do this extremely hot summer besides working on new articles, hoping to make some good money, all I have to say for it is that I ain't even close to being worth it. You need a lot of time to become a successful writer, and make hundreds of extra dollars a month (something I don't have).

But after writing for so long, I have learned about how to market your blog, show it to the world, create traffic with it, and most importantly, make money off of it. However, due to the restriction of time I have, I just can't implement those strategies. I have like ten ebooks on making money from blogs, but I just can't make them work for me.

So for all of you people looking to make some money from becoming a part time writer, all I have to say to you is DO IT, but plan stuff out. Take time to plan out what you are gonna do first. For example, I try to plan out a day before whether I am going to promote my articles, or write more articles.

But did that work? No. I didn't have time. So the main part of becoming a writer is time management. If you can't manage your time, I need to tell you, you WILL NOT become a successful writer. You will not get anything out of wasting time for unplanned stuff.

$10,000 From a blog. ON AUTOPILOT?

Making money from blogging is my dream. For me, a good $100 a month is good enough. I'm alright earning this moderate income every month from doing what I love: Writing. Writing is addictive. Especially if you are posting to a blog. It gets very addictive; for example, just today alone, I have posted like three or four posts. Please check them out.

Anyways, back to making a good passive income from blogging. It is awesome to be able to do what you love to do, but it's even better when you make a good income for yourself.

But it would be even better if you got RICH from blogging. This is my goal. Unfortunately, it's probably not going to happen for me. School is starting in about three weeks. But it could be within your reach.

Just a few minutes ago, I was looking all over the web for a way to make a good income from blogs with little work. Like always, there's no easy free way. You have to buy something or other. And as you know, I am a poor little writer barely making three bucks a month.

But you can make a good amount of profit from blogging. That is, if you are willing to spend some $37. Just click on this link to go to their sales pitch.

To me, it is really worth it. True, I can't buy it, but if you do, there is some hope for me being able to invest in this. Again, click here to see it's website. If you don't buy it, at least get your free money making blog.
