Friday Traffic Report Features Web Success DivaImage by websuccessdiva via Flickr

I like reading things from Jack Humphrey at ‘The Friday Traffic Report‘. Just this morning I was reading his short but powerful ebook, ‘The 2009 Blog Money Guide‘, and the first thing that popped out at me was that Blogging is NOT a hobby. Right on Jack,it’s certainly not a hobby for me but a great opportunity to share my hobbies and that, even though it can be hard work is how I earn my living these days.

Jack has a page of stats about blogging that tells a lot. I just want to share one stat from his list and that is that fact that 22 of the top 100 websites in the entire world are blogs. That should tell you something about how popular blogging is.

Note: I gained access to this ebook through Jack’s emails so I am not exactly sure where to find it so I would just join his mailing list and get it that way. I really don’t want to give away what’s in Jack’s ebook so if you want to get your hands on it you need to go to ‘The Friday Traffic Report‘.

The money making blogs I own get between 74% – 82% organic traffic directly from the search engines which comes from good content. Personally I don’t do any PPC as I really suck at it and any time I have tried it in the past I lost far more than I ever earned so I am really happy with the organic search engine traffic.

I do have a number of blogs that are still in the building content phase. I usually take a few months before I get enough traffic for me to monetize my blogs. Up to 37 blogs at this point but only 10 of them are producing my income.

So don’t be afraid to create a blog of your own, just keep the content coming and make it as unique as you can for the best results. Learning from someone like Jack Humphrey is going to make your journey to blogging success smoother and faster.

Well back to reading Jack’s ebook and to get another cup of Java going.
