I wanted to conduct a little experiment. I went on google and typed "how to make money using blogs". Number of results returned 226,000,000!

That is one big number. It would appear that blogging is a sure way to make money! Of course that is not the case since I would say 99.8% of all blogs are useless (like this one for example). By useless I mean "not capable of making money from". I'm sure they are useful as an exercise in creative expression, and it is 2007, everyone needs a blog.

The few blogs that do make money (far less than 226,000,000!) are usually run by people who are well known in their respective circles. They are often full time blogs. People read them not necessarily because of the content. They are celebrities among the blog world, and we live in a celebrity, hype driven society!

So here is my list of things to do to make your blog profitable

1. Become an expert in your field with celebrity status!
2. Start a blog
