for HIB of TX making .28 on his blog -- perhaps if you were running more than 1 little tiny square box single ad, you might make more.

I too run a blog and websites. I run in the mid 5's for the year with a few sites using Yahoo ads also. Finding inexpensive hosting and treating this as a part time job is what makes it a success. You get out of it what effort you put into it.

Blog and websites - I have 125 of them - are my part time 2nd job. I make around $25K a year from the Yahoo ads that run on them. I spend about 4 hours a day doing this. My goal is to improve my sites to where I get into 6 figures a year and then maybe 7 figures. It takes a lot of effort and work to do this, but it gives me a lot of extra money and financial freedom. While my websites are not the best, they do the job. Once I actually start improving and SEO'ng them the results should be better. Using inexpensive webhost service of Dreamhost.com dropped my total hosting costs to $100 per year for all the sites together, the domain names cost around $8 each, so the actual "business" costs of around $1200 a year plus my time are vitually nothing compared to the income produced. It has taken me 6 years to get this far, but things are going well and I do not fear this economy any more. I put 25% of the monthly earnings into Dividend stocks like Sherwin-Williams (shw) and Alteria (mo) to help generate future income. For anyone thinking of doing this, I say go for it!

I just started blogging as an exercise to improve my writing skills. I hope I could earn money while doing the exercise.

It's hard to leave a full-time job and start blogging. But I really do appreciate the kind of stand people have taken these days.
I really does take a lot of time and effort to build readership on the blog.
hats off to the successful bloggers to have achieved their niche in the blogging circuit

I write my blog for fun (www.flirtybits.com) but I find that the ads are a bonus. It does a lot of time and dedication to build an audience though. Be prepared to do so.

Hello Kimberly,
Great little article here.
I have been looking over my massive amount of notes and collection of books, ebooks, etc. on blogging and how to make money from your blog.
Also as you mentioned in here, I do realize that you can make money from your blog in many different niche markets and add to each other on a month by month basis.
So we will see over the coming few months and will see once I start getting my message sent out and getting the traffic to my site how it will go.
Keep up the great work with the articles.
