How People Make Money by Blogs?

Q: My grandkid told me he is making some extra as a blogger, and he planned to do a side business out of it. How can this be when he is not charging anything for his blog?

A:
There are many ways to make money out of blogs, or blogging, such as writing review articles for products to get paid, selling services over blogs, or the most common way, ads posting.

Most bloggers have ads put on their site for making some cash. ( We don't here.)
Whoever has websites or blogs can apply for ads on their websites.  To post ads on the blog requires almost nothing, as long as the blog updates often enough and posts no offensive content. Most widely used is Google AdSence. And for blogs with good traffic, this means when more than thousand people pay a visit each day, they could make some money out of it.


As a support grand parent, there is a way you can help your grandkids to make a couple of cents more. That’s  to click on the ads. Remember to do it often, but not every day. Will this make him a millionaire? Probably not, but it’s important to show some supports.

What’s Different Between Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Blogger, and Wordpress?


Technically, they are all blogs as we talked about in What Is Blog?  However, normally, people see Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Pinterest as social media, and classify Blogger and Wordpress as blogs.

The key to this separation is the social networking functions provided by the websites.  For a social media website, it would automatically share posts with all of users' friends.  For a blog, usually users post articles and their friends come to the blogs by themselves.  Another main separation is the Thumb Up function, or the LIKE function, embedded in social media websites, not in blogs. 

Also the content that people share in social media and blogs are somewhat different.  In social media, users often share information they like from other websites or some short sentences, often not very clear expressions about their mood or life.  Most social media are technically counted as microblogs with the text limit for each post. Social media could be seen as fast-food restaurants, while blogs are more like traditional sit-down restaurants.  Users take time to write original articles which they like to share with others, or take photos or videos.  You will see mostly original creations in blogs, and also some commercials,  by which bloggers make money.

The bottom line is, when normal people talk about blogs, they most likely mean a website with a lot of texts, or photos, such as techmeslowly.com.  And for social media, they usually mean “ Do you share info with others? ” or “ Could you thumb up my posts? ”


Point is all websites have their own advantages, so choose them, based on what you need, and operate them wisely.

What Is Blog?

Think about this, if you own a newspaper on which you write anything you like and criticize what you dislike, how wonderful that would be!
Blog is such a newspaper; moreover, it’s free.  Even better, you could make money out of it! 

A couple of popular sites are Wordpress, Blogger,  Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Google+ and Instagram.

Why are there so many types of blogs?  Because they are operated by different functions.  Based on users' need, people pick up some that they like to use.  Of course, many people have all of them.  

Now you properly understand why those kids keep staring at computers or cell phones all day; they get jobs needed to be done!!!
