Blogging is a very interesting venture for money making. Although initially people are not aware of how fruitful it can be but it is a very easy manner to have loads of money but for this all you need to do is to keep few points in mind.

The basic thing you need to have knowledge about is what the intentions of your readers are i.e. what they are searching for. Going for a blog on the topic least wanted for is a waste only. For this you nee to have full information about the most frequently asked questions so that you can frame you articles to quench their curiosity. Your site could be informative enough so that it can turn out very profitable for you.

You need to be consistent in your efforts towards blogging. Money from this venture does not come just like that. It takes time for a blog to gain popularity, to attract traffic and thus to earn money from it finally. The initial set up period of blogging remains usually fruitless inspite of your efforts.

Writing good content is not sufficient enough for making your blog popular. For this you need to socialize via your blog. You can join the blog community of the ones having the same topic as yours or you can also take part in the blog carnival. Thus having good PR skills is direly demanded. It recommended to submit the articles on the social networking sites so that views can get shared between masses at large.

Also an important thing is that it is always better to present your content in English language to have wide acceptability. After having put in all the efforts your blog will be ready for attracting money but you will have to decide the criteria for earning. It is suggested to have diversity in your plan for money making instead of sticking to one only. The options which you can try for this can be :

· CPC i.e. cost per click which makes money for you on anybody clicking on your advertisement.

· CPA i.e. cost per action which pays only on some action being done by someone like that of downloading.

· CPM i.e. cost per mile pays you when some button or advertisement is shown by your blog 1000 times.

A good list of ads services are shown below who are well tested and trusted upon by the bloggers to pay them.

· Chitika eMiniMalls: It facilities you to link your blog to malls or products.

· AdSense: Contextual ads can be displayed on the pages of your sites.

· Feedburner Fan: It is an advertisement network based on CPM.

· Private advertisement deals: Advertising space can be sold to private advertisers if you have good ranking and good traffic also. But this option is not worth going for in most of the cases.

1. The blog can be used as a consultant. This work is quite simple. Information is provided on a specific topic and then to sell the service special personal attention is provided to the blog visitors in order to enable them to apply the teaching to their personal situation. Fee charged for the consulting work is usually hourly based .I have also seen some of the expertise blog consultants getting signed up by the companies. One thing I would like to clear is that there are not bloggers only who blog about blogging but there are different bloggers like marketing bloggers, photography bloggers also who offer specialized consulting services.

Writing is the inescapable part of our lives. It is an effective means of communicating .It gives words to our feelings weather we are talking to someone else to ourselves. I find writing as a route through I can connect to my inner world and simply draw my hidden feelings on the canvas of the paper. A part from being an important part of my life I also find some benefits behind writing which always inspires me to get more involved in writing. Some of these are here as below:

1. Simply putting down all the feelings on a piece of paper clears up all the anger frustrations and the things bothering my mind and soul. In this sense it is a form of therapy also. It makes me free of the burden of the matters and the things which is making me difficult to shoulder them now .In this way it also saves the relations from the poison of bitterness.

Getting accepted into CPM banner ad networks is many times a big problem faced .There can be many reasons decline in the acceptance level of the blog into an ad network. Some of the most obvious reasons are getting discussed below in which I have tried to give a solution to this problem.

1. The very first thing giving a positive impression is its outlook. It should have professional outlook to reap maximum benefits.
2. The next thing which I feel important is the content of the blog.There are a number of checks by the advertising network to see the suitability and sustainability of the topic as well as its type which means editorial style used by it and its length. The originality of the blog is also checked to see if its not imitated one. Therefore one needs to be careful while designing it. The blogs with the most relevant content to their advertisers is always preferred . I know about some of the ad networks who are very specific regarding the quality of the content i.e. they have their emphasis on the writing skills of the content, its active user base etc. This is done to maintain the novelty of their ad network so that it does not gets filled up with trash only.  Every network has its own set of standards for different purposes-let it be for adult content or the language being used.
3. I have seen ad networks rejecting the blogs that are hosted on free services and the ones which they feel to be personal.
4. Many sites have objection with the type of the site e.g. the forums are sometimes difficult to accept because of their long lengths and their frequent ad blindness.
5. Sometimes the most obvious reason for declining the ad can  be that it is already loaded with too many ads
6. Language also act as a barrier as non-English ads are not accepted in usual.
7. Most of the ad networks serve only US traffic so if your site has more non-US traffic then your ad will get abandoned.
8. Having sufficient traffic is a prerequisite for getting the ad accepted and the ad networks also have devices like Alexa have an eye on the traffic.

Some of the reasons suggested by me might seem to be absurd. But the easiest way for getting accepted according to me is to design the site professionally and increase its traffic .In addition to this one should always keep on experimenting with new ideas.
