How to Make $300.00 a Month with Blogging

Monthly goal of $300.00 from Blogging

I recently read a blog post over at Problogger called,  "How to Make $30,000 a year Blogging."  posted by Darren Rowse.

The basis of the article was to realize what your money goals for your blog are, and then focus on trying to break that amount into monthly or daily goals so it does not seem too far out of reach.  My goal is to be making $300.00 a month in 6 months time.  Right now with only a little traffic that amount of money seems unattainable in that time frame. 

If I break down that monthly goal into a daily goal, I will only need to earn $10.00 a day from my blogging efforts.  Well - ten dollars a day does not seem like all that much.  Don't get me wrong it will take time to get to that point but breaking down the larger amounts of money into smaller amounts, it just appears to be more manageable.

So now I am going to focus on trying to earn just $1.00 a day.  That one dollar a day is not much but with a new blog it certainly would not be bad either.  Every little bit will add up and once I reach the $1 goal then I can move on to $5 and then to $10.

By breaking my money making goals down into smaller more easily handled chunks I can focus on the smaller more easily reachable goals and not give up so quickly because I am no where near my intended goal.

Should I Quit My Job to be a Blogger/Affiliate Marketer?

Should you quit your job to make money online with blogging?

NO!!!  Do Not Quit Your Job to become a Blogger.  You should not quit your day job until your blogging income can replace your JOB income.  It may be the new American Dream to sit at home and type up a few blog posts for a few hours, then do what ever you want and watch the money pile up into your PayPal account.

That may be the dream, but it certainly is not the reality of blogging and affiliate marketing.  Those people who are making it big have worked many long hours to get where they are today.  It may have taken them 5 years or more to start making that 6 Figure Income.

Then once the money starts pouring in what do they do?   They automate as much as they can so that money continues to keep pouring into their accounts.  Then they go and invest in new ventures or try to recreate their success again and again.

Now that you have read all of the above note that I do not currently have a job.  Only because I am a stay at home mom and take care of the kids.  But if you do not have a job for whatever reason then blogging for money can be a great option if you can do it.

On the other hand if you hate your job and think that by quitting and telling your boss to shove it would light a fire under your butt to make it rich in the blogging world.  Well then you just might want to consider that point.  Also consider how you will pay for your bills during the slow start that is associated with money making blogs.

Day 2 - My Blogging Fortune Challenge

Day 2 of my Blogging Fortune Challenge and here is what I am doing. 

I am not happy with the blogger template that I am using, it has a problem and is taking to long to load.  I don't have the time to fix that now so I will remedy it later.

In order to make money blogging with this blog I am going to have to get some traffic.  I wrote a blog post about free traffic here:  5 Ways to Get Traffic to Your Blog

So now I am going to practice what I preach.  Going to try to use the traffic ideas to get my own traffic to this money making blog.

My Free Traffic Attempts:
*Facebook blog link
* Twitter - tweeted the blog link
* Digg, I dugg this blog
*Used the blog link in some forum signatures
*Made some friends, well I am following other blogspot blogs that interest me.

So now we sit and wait to see if these free blog traffic ideas get my blog on the search engines soon. 

My Google Analytics are up and running but I probably won't have any statistics for at least a week.  I also have not gotten no Google Adsense clicks as of yet. 

Added two blog posts and another clickbank link to maximize my money making potential.
