Those people are enough examples to ensure that one can earn more than they do now. Lets start with what is blog after all. In order to start a blog it is prudent to understand about a BLOG.

Blogging has became one of the easiest way to make money from internet now a days. Lets digg pre-era of blogging. As I said earlier that blog, also weblog, is the online version of diary, where people drop down their daily thoughts. Task of writing diary couldn't even escaped from the roller-coaster of Internet. Justin Hall is believed to be first blogger who started blogging in 1994. Phenomena called 'web2.0' brought blogging to the finger tips of people, which enabled internet users to dynamically do their work without having any technical knowledge, web space on internet. You would probably think that why Blog and Blogging? Why not website?

Blogging is preferred over website because of the dynamic features of a blog. Lets have quick glance at the so called dynamic features of blog.

• Archive: Articles, also called as posts and entries, are published in chronicle manner.
  


• Comments: Blogs are configured in such a way that readers can interact with the writer, which helps to create rapport with the readers.


• Feed: Even if your blog well designed with lots of images, this feature helps to publish article of the blog in simple and human readable XML format.


• Syndication: Search engines are incessantly in search of new,fresh and unique information about all kind of topic. Syndication helps your feed of your blog to be crawled by search engines and various news aggregator.

In short you can say blog is more feasible than a website in every aspect. Or in other words, blog is the easiest way to reach targeted audience. That's the prime reason that makes your blog a money maker.

There are as many blog as the different interests of the people are there. Free blog hosting services encourages you to do blogging by providing free web-space, and advertisers place their relative ads i.e if your are blogging about the various places you had visited, then the add will be about Tours and Travels or Vacation packages.
