Blogging for Money

I have learned from several books and websites that one of the ways to make money from a blog is to start several blogs on topics that interest you.  Advertise it and see how they do.  You will find that some blogs will do better than others and you can keep working on the ones that you are earning money on.  One reason some blogs are successful is because the blogger has found a niche that does not have much competition or it is a very popular blog in a competitive niche that has been advertised very well and offers something that other blogs don't offer.  Getting into a competitive niche market takes a bit more work and money, but it could be lucrative.
