How To Make Money On Blogger/Blogspot Blogs

how to make money from your blog
Thousands of blogs are registered on the Internet everyday, and Blogger reaps in almost half of them. If you do a small research on this yourself, I'm sure you will be shocked. Yes, blogspot is the top destination for wannabe bloggers to start their blogs. In fact, there are thousands of Blogger/blogspot blogs that are run by professional bloggers.

In this post I'll be discussing on why to choose blogspot domain to start your blog, the average money you can make as a blogger, and most importantly how to make money on blogspot blogs.

There is a common misconception amongst Internet users that blogspot blogs don't yield much money. If that was true then:
1. Why do bloggers use it?
2. Why do they keep updating their blogs?
3. Why ads on blogspot blogs?
4. Why would Google embed adsense in Blogger?
5. Why do blogspot blogs appear on Google search results?

Here are the answers:

Why do bloggers use Google's Blogspot.com?

- You cannot really ignore the fact that it's free and so they use it.
- Blogspot blogs are indexed quickly, provided you have original and quality content.
- It's anti-spam and anti-hacking.
- Search Engine Optimization by Google itself.
- You don't need programming knowledge.
- Customizing your blog is simple with Blogger's inbuilt Template Designer.
- You can use a custom domain.
- And moreover it's a testing paradise for new bloggers.

Why do they keep updating their blogs?

- They get traffic to their blogs and want more of it.
- If you don't update your blog, traffic dies down in the long run.
- Bloggers make money, and this isn't a fairly tale. Blogspot blogs work.

Why ads on blogspot blogs?

- They have traffic, so they utilize it to make money from their blog by displaying ads.
- Look at my blog. I earn from the ads on my blog.

Why would Google embed adsense in Blogger?

- Google's adsense makes Blogger priceless. They wouldn't have implemented adsense in it at the first place, if blogspot blogs had no traffic.
- Google makes money from adsense too.

Why do Blogger blogs appear on Google search results?

- After Google's Penguin update, blogspot blogs are showing a lot higher in search results than before. It proves that blogs on Blogger provide quality rich content. Isn't that enough to convince you to start a blog here? I would leave that thought to you.

You see there are many reasons to use blogspot to host your blog. I make a good amount of money from this blog. And I don't want to change to a custom domain as long as I offer useful content. There's one more genuine reason why I would stick with Blogger - recently it's been said that all the Google services will have their own domain extensions without any .com suffix. For instance, my blog in4mix.blogspot.com will soon become in4mix.blogspot.

As a blogger, you can earn anywhere from $500 to over $1 million a month from your blog. The main source of income for a blogger is advertising. The top earning blog on the Internet  is Huffingtonpost which reportedly earns over $30,000 per day.

There are different ad networks online, and one of the best being Adsense. They basically, display ads that are more relevant with your blog's content. I have tried other networks but couldn't earn as much as I'm with adsense.

If you plan to start a blog, then don't waste your time researching. You got to use your time to write posts, build backlinks and get adsense approved(Yes you need an approved adsense account to display Google ads on your blog). This is it, you will definitely earn a good income.

In my upcoming posts I'll show how I make money and other details that will help you make a good blogger blog.
