Blogs have proven to be a successful source of income for many people, making use of visitor numbers and advertising to provide a financial reward for their writing and musing.
Many people make use of Google AdSense but there are advertisers willing to pay directly for space on a popular blog.
Below are some of the more popular blog topics where popular and well written blogs can earn money.
oHealth and Fitness - Society is now more aware than ever about healthy living, and many people are looking for quick solutions to daily fitness and health problems.
Quality content regarding tips and products can see people visiting your site, and daily updates will see them return each and everyday.
oCelebrity Gossip - The rich and famous are more than ever in spotlight, and hundreds of thousands of people are looking to find out the smallest details about their favourite stars.
It may be difficult to find out any new information but it is easy to bring all available information together to ensure that your blog is the central source of information from dedicated fans.
oDog Training - Initially it may seem that pets and dog training is a niche market for a blog.
But an increasing proportion of the population are now owning pets.
These new owners are of course looking to find out all they can about the best way to care for and train their pets, informative and interesting articles again will draw people in, and the appropriate use of ads can see a lot of revenue being earned.
Many successful blogs though come not from writing about a popular topic, after all there is a lot of competition, but from finding a niche that is popular and where no one is writing about.
Therefore write about something you know about and keep trying.
