Blogging for Money is Complicated

You know what - blogging - for money is complicated.  I am beginning to think you need to be a real IT person to even half way understand it.

It is simple enough to design your blog - but - when it comes to the Monetization of the blog - then it gets kinda complicated.  Maybe that is why there is that book called: Blogging for Dummies.  I think I need to get that darn book.

The problem is this: Google Adwords drives traffic to your page - ok - I get that.  Google Adwords does cost money - but - they have a customer support person - who you can call - so that is good.  I am using Google money right now from a coupon - so that is good too.

The problem is that Google Adsense gets confusing and even though it`s enabled - it can stop making money - for some unknown reason.

Then there is Google`s Amazon Associates - that I thought - would always show up on each blog - wrong again - screw up your html code - because you forgot to save it - and in some blogs - like magic - it just does a disappearing act. Now that`s a problem as I am using that as a useful resource.

Here is a great video about Seth Godin - a top blogger:

Here are some great resources to read from the Positively Optimistic - Seth Godin:



Well, I can hardly wait until tomorrow to see if my stats are up or down.  

I will learn how to do this even if it takes - forever - really - ya - cause I`m optimistic.

Maybe this is why people need Webmaster`s or host programs - duh - see newbie blogger.

I still think I can earn while I learn - and make money while I sleep - will see.
