Blogging for profit can be a lot of work, more work than most people are willing put forth. This is why 95-98% of those who attempt to make a living from it fail. There are a couple of different ways to approach it as I have written previously in another post.

One is to become an authority blogger like Darren Rowse aka Problogger. He makes his money from followers who learn from his teaching. He is very good at what he does and many people take off and do well with his style of blogging/teaching.

Then there are niche bloggers who are blogging for profit selling their own products or someone else’s product. These bloggers have multiple blogs in multiple niches. They are not using one blog with many followers, but many blogs and many products.

Whereas, Problogger has a close relationship with his followers most niche bloggers do not do this, but instead are more impersonal sometimes shutting comments down altogether, so that there is no way to communicate with their visitors.

This is fine too, since many visitors are just looking for information or to buy a product and have no intention of communicating. Both styles of bloggers make money just in a different way. There is no right or wrong way to blog, it’s a matter of preference.

Then again, there are some bloggers who have a combo of an authority blog along with a niche. An example of this would be a blog on weight loss where many visitors make comments and ask questions and the blogger answers and helps them lose weight.

As you can see blogging for profit doesn’t always have to be about money, but also communication, information and helping others, which gives it purpose.

Whatever style of blogging you do know that it is hard work and is not easy. There will be many ups and downs and you have to be able to keep going no matter what. If you are not a determined person don’t even try to blog with intentions of making money.

I always recommend a mentor if you want to be like Problogger then follow his blog daily and buy his material. If you want to be a niche blogger then check out the Niche Blogger membership site and find out how to build multiple blogs for profit.
