Make money by blogging

Dear reader,

I've been using computers since I was 9, and that makes a little more than 20 years in total. I've been internet junkie for as long as I got my first broadband connection 10 years ago. But what I've been unable to do is to earn any considerable amount of money doing so. That's why I decided to change this blog a little bit, which potentially should help me build an additional source of income.

I was reading so many blogs for the last year, where authors explain how they make money, that it seems so easy to do. It's not - when I try to do the same on my own blogs, it just provides me with pale $0.01 of income on a good day.

So I made a decision. I am going to read and research on every source I can find regarding what can I do with my blog. And this is what this blog will be about. I will build this blog with 2 types of content: a Linux and technology related as it has been until now (and especially my take on Linux/Technology and its effects on society and enterprise computing), but also with the explanations about creating it. I will post each step I will perform to making this blog a one with more income than 1 cent a day.

First step is already done - I moved this blog to a new domain (not Blogger), while still leaving it working on Blogger's platform. Feedburner feed was updated with a new domain, and other services are up to be so as well. The next step would be to make enough money to pay for hosting and then move to a hosting with Wordpress. At the moment I'm looking at Bluehost as the most favorable by Wordpress Hosting, but this definitely could change (hosting I'm aiming to is ~$7 a month, so I would need about $80 now).

So please wish me luck :-) (and buck).

Any comments, suggestions and feedback are welcome at any time.
