Can a personal blog earn you decent money?

Hehe, no offense taken

Zoe Magolis (sp?) has probably earn a fair sized wedge from her blog ("Girl With A One Track Mind" - NSFW, just to be on the safe side), but it's not through advertising, it's through books/tv appearances/journalism etc.

Admittedly, not the traditional affiliate marketing route, but those opportunities wouldn't have arisen if she hadn't have been blogging.

Yep, I have heard about her, too. This shows that if you put in some hard work ( not necessarily to appear on tv and all the rest ) and you're determined to succeed, I think you'll make it. You may not make hundreds of thousands monthly, but still enough to improve your financial status. My 2 cents

Well My answer is yes, We can easily earn money from personal blogs by Paid Reviews websites like PayPerPost and others.

Yeap you are right. Also one can use sponsoredreviews for that too.

@ Rohitpatel & DeluxDon: This was my thought exactly too: money can be made with a personal blog too, not just with a niche one, for example. As I've mentioned before in this thread, you have to work a bit hard in the beginning, to make your blog known and bring some constant traffic and then you'll be able to make some cash with it

Yes those type sites need quality blogs which have-

* Quality Post
* Stable Traffic
* Good Work on SEO.

$1000 a month is not that hard to achieve, since you are a copywriter yourself you can put a lot. To me MMO blogs are no more a trusted business model, you need to adopt some clever blogging strategies. Something new, out of box stuffs.

You're right here, seonotes. A decent income can be made from more personal blogs if you put some work and passion in it. I currently have a MMO blog, but I'm seriously considering to switch to something else, more "out of the box stuff", as you've said
