For the longest time I didn’t even try to make money online through my hobbies because I listened to so called gurus who either didn’t know what they were talking about or they perhaps were steering people clear to keep the gold for themselves. What ever the reason they didn’t exactly tell the truth.

Eventually I started paying attention to what I thought would work and started blogging about the hobbies I love but never find the time to enjoy like I would like.

I started with my biggest passion, which is fishing, I created a blog and just started blogging about my experiences. Without even working for, like I had to do with my other niches, I started getting readers, more every day.

The thing that really made me sit up and take notices was the ease I could write with but that just makes sense. Go to a guitar jam with me and watch faces light up when you start talking about anyone’s hobbies. They, like myself, can’t shut up about them.

After a few months of blogging I started putting a bit of advertising on the blog and started to earn a bit immediately. Remember I said, after a few months!

The reason I didn’t put advertising on my fishing blog was because I wanted to get as many of my pages into Google’s index before monetizing. My past experience has shown me that sites that have too much advertising and not enough content, good content, will not get as much or as deep indexing, so I wait until I am getting about 200 unique visitors.

After seeing that it was a lot easier for me to earn money blogging about my hobbies, due to my knowledge of course and experience, I started other blogs, even multiple blogs on the same hobby, and built them for a few months before monetizing.

Now my wife is interested in starting her own blog but she wants me to do it all, typical. :) Okay I was just kidding there, she will do it herself and probably show me up.

My advice for you is to create a blog based on a passion, a hobby or an interest you spend money on. If it’s a hobby or interest that no one spends money on you are going to have a tough time earning so be sure it’s something you know people spend on.
