The Formula For Making Money With Free Blogs

---

My personal formula for making money with free blogs is: Post content of value > Attract visitors > Keep visitors on your blog > Make visitors want to return > Monetise your blog ... and then back to > Post content of value etc. and on for infinity.

Having been around blogging now for 43 weeks I receive various emails and enquiries wanting advice on how to go about making money with free blogs.

Someone recently wrote: 'Your website does not explain what is involved (in making money with blogs) and how a person like me would succeed.'

When I started my first blog the idea was simply to try and make money and write about my experiences. It was never to set myself up as some sort of expert. Obviously I've learnt a bit over the weeks and I've tried to cover these points in posts. Every post is in the archives.

Unfortunately what I can't say is, "If you do this, this and that, you'll definitely make money with free blogs." I don't think anyone can. There are too many variables and all of us are different.

My advice is that if you want to make money, you read as many posts as possible on blogs such as this, but then you have to actually get on with it. Nothing comes free and without effort. You'll make mistakes but so what - this isn't important.

As that old cliche keeps telling us 'a journey starts with the first step.' And this is right. We have to get on with it, start the adventure and learn as we go.

If you are new, or just starting out, I did write three posts a while back that are my nearest attempts at saying how it's possible to make money with free blogs.

These aren't step-by-step instructions but they will give anyone the basics - as I see them. Other bloggers, also with 43 weeks experience, may well see some things differently. These are the three posts:

Making Money With Free Blogs - Part 1
This covers: Blog and Post Content, Retaining Visitors etc.

Making Money With Free Blogs - Part 2
Has suggestions on how to get visitors and also about keywords.

Making Money With Free Blogs - Part 3
This is the money making bit - but needs Parts 1 & 2 have to be in place first.

I have made about $2900 from free blogs and without any capital outlay. Some have done better than this but usually have laid out money to do so. I like to do things the difficult way!

I hope I haven't come across as being unhelpful from what I have written. I'm always pleased to help but I wanted to emphasise that there is no short cut or magic wand. It's down to that formula at the top of this post and doing it.

Good luck,
Mike.
