How Do You Make Money From Blogs?

That's a question I'm sure a lot of bloggers would like to see answered. Unfortunately, there isn't a very good way. Blogads and Google Ads are probably the best ways of going about doing it, but unless you're a super-star blogger you aren't likely to make much.

If you want revenue from your blog, you've got to have traffic. In order to get traffic you have to have a certain amount of talent at either writing things people want to read or collecting links to things people want to read. This talent is not something you can get from a book.

But that hasn't stopped Jim Kukral from writing his recent book, Blogs to Riches. He promises that "once you've read this book, you'll be able to begin earning with your blog as soon as today!" I guess that's assuming that I can get his booked delivered today, and that I'd finish reading it in one day.

As promising as Mr. Kukral's book sounds, I think I like the Comissar's idea for blogging revenue a bit better:

You want bolshoi rubles? Commissar can enrich you by more than $25. Right now. How can he do that?

Simple. Do not buy stupid book. Da.

You are now richer by $25.99 (plus shipping.)


Thanks Commissar. I promise not to spend it all in one place.
