I have mentioned this before, but never really elaborated on how blogging and such works.
Truthfully I will admit I am a new blogger, and do not make very much .
(about 10$ as I have not been updating/promoting my work as regularly as I should)
the #1 free tool to get started: Google add sense
(I have been learning to do this from a 0$ point as I have not had much money to invest in my own website.)
Per page view ~ add's on your website/blog/ will pay for views should you have affiliates set up to do this for you.
A free service available to all is Google Addsense:
(blogger account must be open and active for at least 6 monthes before being able to qualify for it)
Add sense can be set up for ones whole google account (youtube as well)
all of these systems work the SAME way.
Add revenue is based on website [views] ~ So while great, you may now realize some websites you may have seen that have exploited us on this system.
I have seen people have abused this knowledge who have money to do so~
Example: My new favorite social media site Tsu.co opened up back in October (it's still growing)
Top google results brings up some young girls personal blog that quite shamelesly discredits the site.
She clearly has the funds to set up a beautiful blog, but also discusses why Tsu is not as usefull for making money as building your own website.
then continues to plug her "all female" social media site/
There you have it!
I have met many sucessful bloggers, who have spoken about value in their content.
Its the value that keeps people coming back or sharing their pages.
So the idea is to blog about things that are useful, and have value so your site grows itself.
~Even person has their own talents and preferences~
The idea is to tap into your talents, and learn to see your own opportunities that are always all around you.
Some people as they become more known receive sponsorship offers:
This wonderful mother/youtuber/blogger is a great example of using her talents to reach her own sucess.

She's received several sponsorship you can see on her site as well as if you watch her youtube video's she sometimes gets new items to review and plug.
Each of our path's is unique, so I can't tell you exactly what you need to do for yourself.
But we can discuss the tools available and share our knowledge and exprience on our own journey.
It takes time, but we all can grow our own success if we work together.
