What's Genny For?

Blogging

I was perusing the interwebz the other day and the idea of blogging for money caught my attention. I knew people did that—made money from blogging. But I was perplexed as to how.

So I did a little research and I'm still a little confused. It seems it basically comes down to how many people you can get to come to your blog. And ads.

I hate ads. Especially when they pop up in the middle of something I'm reading. However...if I could make 1000 bucks a month blogging? Ads would be my new best friend!

The only problem is I don't know if I could keep up with a blog. Here at WDC, despite my best efforts, I only get a few posts a month written. And what would I actually talk about? What would draw people in? How do I advertise? How do I get advertisers?

Ug.

Part of me thinks that the risk isn't that big. It's, what? $5 a month to run a blog? I could test it out and see what happens. But then the other part of me is afraid of failing and, of course, it's a job. And I already have a job homeschooling, cleaning, cooking, sewing...

I'll have to think about this some more.
Have you thought about blogging for money? Do you already blog for money? Have you been successful?
