I was hoping to pass along a little Newbie Blog encouragement and a little wisdom to any of you newbies who find your way to this site or for those of you who have questions about how to create a blog.  The wisdom is this, it takes a lot of time and work to get your blog developed and to the place where it starts generating traffic.  If you are in a hurry or if you think that you are going to be making piles of money quickly, you need to think again.   Any site that promises you easy quick money is not telling you the truth.  It takes time, hard work, and some sort of strategy to make your blog a success.  It is also likely that once you have been blogging for a while you will be changing and updating your strategy.

My encouragement is to stick with it.  There are millions of blogs on the Internet that started with a flourish and then were just abandoned.   If you can stick with it, over time your blog will start to have much better results.  You will also begin to see opportunities to monetize your site over time.  Adsesne is a good thing, but there are not  many people who are really making a living with Adsense.  There are some, but for most publishers it might eventually provide enough income to cover the cost of running a site.  More people are making money by reselling and by offering some type of specialized service.  Both of these options are easier to accomplish once your own blog is well established.

So, continue to blog and learn and don’t get discouraged.  For most of you it will take at least a year before you start to see your blogs taking shape and generating any real measurable traffic.  Take this time to write good content, develop links, and get a good keyword strategy.  You may want to get a few more blogs on line to start acquiring age for projects in the future.  Give it time and watch what happens.
