Blog Money-Making Opportunity Warning And Heads Up | How to Start a Blog Series #4

As you indulge yourself in the blogosphere (the world of blogging) you might start to uncover different ways and opportunities that you can possibly monetize your blog.
Really, there are bloggers that do make money with their blogs!

It is not unethical to think and consider about monetizing your blog at all. We all have bills to pay and we all somehow have to find means to pay them. Blogging takes a lot of your time and energy, it is reasonable that you may consider finding a way to monetize your blog somehow in order to keep going with this time-consuming hobby or activity.

Blogging these days is definitely growing and becoming more and more popular, not only to people who like to write personal informal documentation of their day to day living and experiences, but as well as for several different companies and businesses that embrace this effective online platform, blogging, that allows them to reach out to more potential customers and audience.

Blogging has definitely reached new heights as more and more businesses are warming up to the idea of blogging as an advertising medium for their products and services. More companies are utilizing blogs as an effective means to promote their products and services which then opens up various opportunities for bloggers to earn money with their blogs.
There are multiple different ways that you can monetize your blog, but this topic is beyond the scope of this book.

One way to monetize your blog (which I will lightly discuss in this chapter) is through sponsored posts in which you, as the blogger, will review or test certain products or services of companies or individuals and you create a dedicated blog post (per product or service) about your experience, test result, honest thoughts and opinions about the product or service. And in exchange for such exposure and publicity of their product or service, the company or individual who asked for such review or blog exposure will compensate you for your time and blog publication.

When the time comes that you own a blog and would later decide that you want to monetize it and you would like to tap into this growing form of advertising which is writing articles or blog posts that are sponsored or paid for, you may begin to uncover a lot of sponsored post opportunities from various businesses offering all kinds of different types of products and services. With the potential to make money, it is so easy and tempting to jump in to every opportunity that comes along, and just accept whatever topic comes in your way.

Name selection is often an overwhelming, frustrating, and exhausting experience. I can remember how stressful the naming process was for me when launching my first couple of projects. It would start off fun and loose for the first couple of names, but I would quickly become trapped in a  mind numbing list of gibberish .
