Blogging is not about technology. It is about networking. Business is about people.

You have to know that every visitor, other than your spouse, friends and relatives, all the other strangers who visit your blog is your prospect customers!

They are the one who will help you...
they will pay you money ..
they will click your advertisement that pays you money
they will buy your products
they will buy the products your recommend...

So .. you must know how to convert your prospects (the visitors) into customers.

Subscribers are customers 

Convert visitors to subscribers. They will be your supporters, your followers and your customers

Once you successfully convert visitors to subscribers, they will become your long term customers, if you take good care of them.

That's the number of subscribers normally shows how successful a blog is!
Some bloggers have more than 100,000 subscribers. If one subscriber pays you $1 a month, you will have $100,000 per month income!

If you are able to get more than 1000 subscribers, you should see some income. It depends on how well you monetize the traffic and subscribers. The potential income shall be around US$100-1000/month (based on 1000 subscribers).

Type of Income Sources of a Blog 

There are various income streams for a blog.

For example, if your readers are book lovers and they stay in the US, you will find that the Amazon Associates program will convert really well.

If your readers are Malaysians and Singaporeans, you will find the Nuffnang and Adverlets advertising networks give you a decent income.

Here is a list of the main money makers for a blog
  1. Lease your real estate: ADVERTISING
  2. Sell other people's product: AFFILIATE MARKETING
  3. Sell your own products: BOOKS, EBOOKS, ONLINE COURSES, MEMBERSHIP ETC

    e.g. My blog talks about personal finance. There are readers who seek my help in personal finance and some of them ended up buying insurance plans and invest their saving with me.
  5. Ask for DONATION
  6. Being PAID to blog - writing paid posts or sponsored posts
