How To Make $5,000 a Month Blogging

Most likely, the title of this post led to you reading these words.   I'm not going to promise you any miracles, but I will explain in theory how you can earn $5,000 a month by blogging on your blog.  The reality is, you can make as little or as much money as you want per month blogging, it's really up to you.   I'll show you some different ways you can achieve the $5,000 goal though.

Why Your Blog Needs A Business Plan

So you've decided that this is the year you are going to make "Big Money" being a Blogger. You've found a niche, got your domain and have your Blog software setup.  You even have signed up for a few affiliate advertisers.  But whats your action plan?  Whats your end goal? How much money do you expect to make weekly, monthly, yearly?  That's why you need a business plan for your Blog!

The Ethics of Blogging for Money

Affiliate Marketing is often looked down upon by outsiders because of the unethical actions of a few bad apples.  Bloggers who primarily Blog to promote Affiliate Ads are sometimes looked down upon for the same reason.  Do they truly care about their niche or are they just blogging to make a quick buck?  One of the first things you need to think about before you "Blog for Bucks" is your code of ethics - are you willing to promote a campaign simply for money?

November End of Month Blog Revenue Report

Here is the November End Of Month Blog Revenue Report for Michael Wayne Dot Com.  My first month did not hit my stretch goal by a longshot ($5,000), but I did turn more than a hefty profit!  My ultimate goal for this Blog is a MINIMUM of $5,000 per month - which is small compared to most "High Profile" Bloggers.  I want the Blog to pay basic monthly expenses - furthering my goal of working 100% ONLINE, and for myself.

November, 2008:
Total | Affiliate Network
$142.61 | Commission Junction
$003.37 | Google Adsense
$145.98 | Total

My primary expense for this blog is TIME:) Other than that, my server runs about $50 a month so I turned roughly a $90.00 profit.  Overall $145 is not bad for my first month "monetizing" my blog.  I plan to hit at least $1,000 this month due to some behind the scenes upgrades (like the new template?) and more aggressive ad placement, campaigns and list usage.  Let's see if I crush it!
