I have a heap of blogs that make money.

I know some people that make thousands a day out of blogs.

But I'm not just talking about blogs that you just talk about your day, i mean blogs that are design to sell products.

Making money out of blogging is a fact, escpecially product targetted blogs. But I think normal blogs can also cash in when used correctly and with the correct advertisement for the audience that reads your blog.

Well I have only ever used HOSTGATOR WEB HOSTING - cPanel, Reseller, and Dedicated Website Hosting and i have never had any problems with them.

One of the low-end shared packages would be a good start. They are very cheap and should have everything you need to start.

Check out WordPress › Blog Tool and Weblog Platform for software to install on your server and use to blog.

There heaps of plugins and themes for you to customize the crap out it.

When it comes to hosting I have had very good experience with the CPB Network.

What I liked when I started out with them is the different options that they offer and how good their customer service was. I had a problem and within 12 hours it was resolved, or my question answered.

Blogs most certainly have the opportunity to turn a profit, some more than others, however, it depends on your target audience and your advertising methods.

Google is cracking down on BFA websites (Built for Adsense), so it would be best to stay clear of that area.

In general, create a blog that provides information on a product or service you enjoy and will not tire of in a few months. Earning revenue from a blog isn't an overnight money-maker, it is something you'll have to work at.

Optimize your adsense and advertising, optimize your content and continue to do so.
