What  is a Blog ?
 Blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log.

 A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links to other web pages and to video, audio and other files.
 

Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as hobbies, work, vacation or could be  political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.
 
 
How can I earn money?
Main revenue out of a blog could be thru sponsorship and referrals. In addition to the array of advertising programs that are available to join there is a growing awareness in the business of the value and opportunity that exists for them to advertise directly on blogs. Sponsorship is also happening on a post by post basis with some bloggers being paid to write on certain topics by companies – either in one off or a regular fashion.

as blogging has risen in it’s profile as a medium more and more businesses are starting blogs. Many of these companies  are hiring specialist bloggers to come on and run their blogs. Check out Bloggers for Hire if you’re looking for this type of work

Also an increasing number of bloggers are attempting to make a few extra dollars from their blogs by selling branded products. Tip Jars and donation buttons have been a part of blogging for years now but this last year saw a number of bloggers go full time after fundraising drives.
