How Boggers make Money Online
Monday, May 17, 2010
Blogs have come to be recognized as a dynamic publishing system that doesn’t require authors to have heavy HTML, coding experience or any other geeky and specialized skills. Since blogs have become a business and a source of generating income, they are growing exponentially. Almost everyone wants to make money through blogging while still at college or being stay home moms. And there are countless (very inspiring) example people earning money by blogging on the subjects of their interest.
What happens is that people mostly start at free platforms (blogger.com, wordpress and many others). Their URL will be like ‘theirname.blogspot.com’ or theirname.wordpress.com” rather than ‘theirname.com’. They quickly write and promote their blogs and successfully attain respectable Google PR and Alexa rank and at that stage they realize that they can make more money if they buy domain and have a paid hosting. Advertisers and Internet marketers prefer to pay more to those bloggers who have self hosted their own domains.
Problem in this is that they then have to start all over to build Google PR and or generate traffic to the new site. Best would be to have your own domain and start branding yourself from the start. Personally speaking, I have not bought my own domain yet because I love blogger.com and am familiar with it. I am using it since when blogger first started. But I do suggest that those who want to make some reasonable money from blogging must have their own domain and host it independently. [From Light Within]
