I found an article from slate.com on Yahoo's front page about how people are making a tremendous amount of money blogging. If you are starting out a blog website...you definitely want to read this.



Last week, the blog search engine Technorati released its 2008 State of the Blogosphere report with the slightly menacing promise to "deliver even deeper insights into the blogging mind." Bloggers create 900,000 blog posts a day worldwide, and some of them are actually making money. Blogs with 100,000 or more unique visitors a month earn an average of $75,000 annually—though that figure is skewed by the small percentage of blogs that make more than $200,000 a year. The estimates from a 2007 Business Week article are older but juicier: The LOLcat empire rakes in $5,600 per month; Overheard in New York gets $8,100 per month; and Perez Hilton, gossip king, scoops up $111,000 per month.

With this kind of cash sloshing around, one wonders: What does it take to live the dream—to write what I know, and then watch the money flow?

From the perspective of someone who doesn't blog, blogging seems attractive. Bloggers such as Jason Kottke ($5,300/month) and the Fug girls ($6,240/month) pursue what naturally interests them without many constraints on length or style. While those two are genuine stars of the blogging world, there are plenty of smaller, personal blogs that bring in decent change with the Amazon Associates program (you receive a referral fee if someone buys a book, CD, etc. via a link from your blog) and search ads from Google. (The big G analyzes your site and places relevant ads; you get paid if people click on them.) Google-ad profiteering is an entire universe in and of itself—one blogger by the name of Shoemoney became famous (well, Digg-famous) when he posted a picture of himself with a check from Google for $132,994.97 for one month of clicks.

I was online checking out some internet marketing sites and I came across 2 websites that are very interesting. Ashley Qualls started www.whateverlife.com when she was 15 and Carl Ocab started www.carlocab.com when he was 13. Their internet marketing websites are awesome! Whateverlife.com is a social marketing website for young girls where they can get layouts for their websites while Carlocab.com is a website where he teaches you how to make money through internet marketing. If you take a look at their websites…both are doing extremely well. Ashley is getting a tremendous amount of traffic to her site and Carl is #1 on Google search results for "Make money online." And they are young kids! I bet they are making more money than most adults do too. I understand that they have a lot of time in their hands. They don't have to go to work. They don't have to chase their kids running around. They're not in a marriage or any couple relationship (Let's hope they're not). They just go home from school and start working on their sites without worrying about paying for bills, doing laundry, or cooking dinner. But it's not how much time you have…it's what you do with the time that you have.

That's why when you combine your own travel company with internet marketing...you set your own hours and your own schedule so the time is so flexible, it doesn't go against to what you are doing right now.  It doesn't matter how much time you have whether you have 2 hours a week or 2 hours a day...we have all the tools you need to become successful.  Click here for more information.
