Hey All,
Im new here and new to working online altogether. I've read in a couple of other forums that a good way to earn some cash online is to start blogging. I've recently set up a few blogs and added adverts on them using Adsense but I just wondered what everyones views were on this? Is it really a good way to make money online or are there much better ways out there?
Thanks for any feedback. xx

Adsense is a way to monetize your blog - you should also monetize it with affiliate programs. Of course, you need traffic to do this...

Hi Ava,
Ads are one of many ways.
If you want it to work you have to drive a heck of a lot of traffic to your site.
Getagrip is right, your main play should be affiliate marketing.
Eventually you might create your own ebooks and try to attract sponsors.
You can also give list building a try once you know what you are doing. Some eventually try their hand at membership sites.
Lots of ways to monetize.

Learn all you can about keywords and the importance of where to place them, how to use them to get traffic to your blog, etc... because as getagrips said, you need tons of traffic.
Getting traffic to your blog is actually where most of your learning curve will be in.
Finding products to promote is easy.
And as you go along, use places like Squidoo along with your blogs...and with what NS shared above, in fact it is ENDLESS what you can do with a blog, if you are diligent enough to stick with it until it happens.
