USA Today’s CyberSpeak writer, Kim Kimando says the way to make blogging pay is with Google AdSense.
Not really Kim! This is a pretty high profile blog with a few thousand readers a day, and I have made a grand total of $1.32 from Google advertising in the past two and a half years.

Haha .. that’s funny… you hopefully made a lot more through working with your clients. So there really are two ways to make blogging pay:
– ad revenue on many sites, where content is almost secondary, just to bring readers
– indirectly, by raising one’s professional profile, building business contacts, which you seem to be mastering :-)
Ah, but Darren Rowse of Problogger.net made $15,000 for May alone across three main blogs and a few less succesful ones. I think it can be done, but you have to chase the revenue. His main blog, Problogger, makes just pennies apparently.
yes, the blog has certainly raised my profile and brought me extraordinary opportunities.

LOL – when I hit $5, I decided to throw in the towel.
AI do think that people using the Amazon plug-in do make money, though.
I threw in the towel with AdSense after nearly 1 year and revenue of about $25. I’ve had much better results using Blogads.com and Pheedo. The best results, however, as as Zoli comments above, are through building my business and the myriad opportunities that have come my way as a result of blogging. Among the highlights was interviewing BL on our Conversations with Experts TeleSeries!
Well, I’ve been running Adsense for about a year and made about $50. I’ve been running Amazon for about five years and made about $15.
I run into people who claim to be making thousands of dollars a month on Adsense, but most of them also want me to join their MLM.
I’m with Zoli. The biggest benefits of bloggins seems to be raising ones profile and bringing extraordinary opportunities.
