I&#39;ve been reading alot of other blogs such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.problogger.net/&quot;&gt;http://www.problogger.net&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stevepavlina.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.stevepavlina.com&lt;/a&gt; just to name a couple which say they make money from their blog sites. Some say in the 6 figure / year bracket. I don&#39;t doubt their sincerity. I do wonder how much work and effort they really had to put in though. They make it sound pretty easy.  I read alot of the content from those and other blogs and it does make sense. Some even post snapshots of their earnings.  I recently added google adsense to mine. Seems everyone has google adsense on their site nowadays. I figured its worth a try. For those like me who are curious if all those other sites are really telling you the truth i will let you know month by month how much this site makes if any.  If I end up making what some of the other claim to make I won&#39;t need to work this full time job anymore ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t get me wrong I do like my Job, I&#39;m the IT Directory for an internet company. But who would &quot;choose&quot; to work full time? I definately wouldn&#39;t sit around on my ass spending money but i would find a couple hobbies i enjoy doing to keep me occupied. Ok maybe even a part time job, but i don&#39;t think i would work full time if i didn&#39;t &quot;have to&quot;. I&#39;d rather spend that time with family &amp;amp; freinds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well we&#39;ll see how this goes, i&#39;ll keep you up-to-date along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steve</description><link>http://steveblanton.blogspot.com/2007/11/is-it-possible-to-make-money-from-this.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Steve)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357068541592441408.post-2904886240078478466</guid><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-12T12:34:45.928-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">About Me</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">First Blog</category><title>My First Blog</title><description>This is my first BLOG entry. People have been asking me why I haven&#39;t started one. Frankly I didnt have the time. I said I&#39;ll get around to it some day. Well I now realize that there is no time like the present and if i keep putting it off, I&#39;ll never do it, so today I&#39;m starting it. I come across so much information that is truly useful and I dont always have time to write an article. In many cases the ideas dont require an entire article anyway. Blogging seems to make a lot of sense and i suggest it to other people so i figure its about time I do it for myself. Thanks for reading and I hope all my time and effort helps (or at least entertains) you and brings you back again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;Steve</description><link>http://steveblanton.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-first-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Steve)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
