Some people will tell you that blogging is no longer a way to make money.

Mainly because they don’t make money with their blog(s).

Check out flippa.com and have a look at the blogs for sale there.

Yes, there is a big range of prices and revenue, but this is only one site where people sell their blogs.

You’ll never see them listed or hear about the sale price realised most of the time.

Of course, millions of blogs don’t make a cracker and wouldn’t sell for much more than the cost of the domain name.

However, many people don’t realise that it’s relatively simple to set up a small niche blog that caters to a small group of enthusiasts and will make a couple of hundred dollars a week.

You only need to have around 20 relevant posts on a site like this to attract some ranking and some visitors.

You can add one new post from time to time to keep the search bots happy, a news category that takes Google alerts and converts them to blog posts and you’re done.

Set and almost forget.

You do need to add ways to monetise your work, and you should collect email addresses to notify people of new posts.

You could easily build one of these a month, and in a year, you’d be pulling in a couple of thousand bucks a month.

Having one crash, get delisted or stop working won’t bother you much when you have a dozen or so of these running.

Just build another one.

The question is, do you have the persistence to build 4 or 5 of these before you start to see any returns?

That may happen.

None of them is likely to be a money-spinner from the day you click the publish button.

P.S.  I’ve added a PDF to the site with over 60 places you can get paid for running their ads on your blog.

This one is a freebie for all, mainly because some of these links may not work anymore.

I checked to make sure there are no affiliate links in the document, but I haven’t checked that the sites exist.
