What Blog Topics Make More Money?

Let’s be honest here. We’ve heard of stories bloggers already started cashing cheques after 3-months of blogging. Some report doing it even after a month of blogging. Like you, I wonder how they do it or what they even tell is just to get more traffic.

One of the things people love hearing is how others made their money using the same method – especially if the sum is more than what we are generating. So that’s one of the topics which will help you generate more money. Everyone wants to be a millionaire but just don’t know how. So there’s no excuse not knowing what can you blog.

Delete Blog Drafts Older Than a Month

New bloggers have all the spice and heat to churn out posts like no tomorrow. However, veteran bloggers can be a weird lot – speaking for myself. Before WordPress updated to 2.3, all the drafts you had were displayed for you. All you needed to do is select one of the drafts out to continue your post.

But I learned the hard way of ignoring your drafts for too long later ending up notable to complete them. Simple reason is you’ve lost the idea or the drive when it first came to you. Therefore, I deleted 4-5 blog post drafts I had initially wanted to publish. And these were created much longer than a month ago.

Personal Blogs Have Become Less Personal

Though more and more people are starting a blog of their own they are finding it more difficult to be more personal with their audience. Personal blogs used to be about the daily life of a person from being stuck in college classes, what did they eat at lunch to the quirky adventures of them in the toilet.

Yes, back in the days (I said it) a personal blog was all about the author, their life and their friends. However, as each day of the week starts to pass more and more bloggers have become…responsible bloggers. There are few to none which speak about their misadventures nowadays and are more reserved is how I’d put it.

When Is a Blog a Blog?

At first it was, a blog is a personal journal or space for anyone driven by writing to release their tension or thoughts to the world. But today, because blog publishing engines are crossing the gap between a blog publishing engine and a Content Management System (CMS) by itself…where do we draw the line?

While both are publishing engines per se, CMS are built to be flexible and expandable to do more than publishing. It’s about being able to manage more than webpages. It’s about being able to fit the kitchen sink inside the fridge and the fridge inside your website space. That is the number one reason why many systems become over cluttered in the end but I’ll save that for another time.

Being Selective of Your Blogroll Links

Recently a friend of mine; goldfries, came up to me in the forum to tell me he’s added me into his Blogroll due to my content. Goldfries blogs about computer related topics from hardware reviews to games and has got some insightful tips on how to buy your next computer.

When he told me that, I assumed he wanted a return link as well because that’s what most bloggers want in return if they link to you. However, goldfries isn’t your average blogger therefore he told me it isn’t necessary to link back as he noticed I don’t even have a Blogroll on my blog. But then we got to talking about the Blogroll and why the need to be selective.
