These days everyone has a blog, but it seems more and more bloggers are turning their blogs into viable income sources.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial blog, ChristianPF.com released an article discussing the money making potential of a blog. People often incredulously ask, "Can you really make money blogging?" You see ads claiming that you can make thousands in one week and then you hear the skeptics claim that the only people who make money blogging are people who teach others to make money blogging. So what is the truth?

This article looks at one blogger's journey after following the advice on how to make money blogging over a six month period. The author states, "From my own blog I probably work for about $2.00 per hour. I continue to blog with the assumption that in the future that number will increase. But, if you're looking to take a blog and make a huge income within a six month time period you might want to reconsider. A blog is initially a horrible short term source of income. For the time you invest, you will not recoup the money in the short term. So far, there has been a lot of hard work with very little revenue. So do I plan to quit my blog? Absolutely not!"

The article continues by discussing the steps that the author took to build his income...

• Choosing the right hosting company
• Picking out a WordPress Theme
• Evaluating the amount of time spent managing the blog
• Writing and submitting articles to other websites

Even if bloggers never make a dime from their blogs, there are still quite a few great benefits of blogging...

1. Freelance writing - Through connections made directly from my blog I have been able to get some paid writing positions.
2. Friendships - I had no idea I would come to meet a lot of fantastic people through the blogging experience.
3. Showcase your product - Even if your blog doesn't ever make money, it could open doors for you to sell your product.
4. Personal Rewards - The structure of the blog helps create an accountable environment for learning, studying, and growing.
