Blogs have start-up costs, although $2.95 per month for web hosting is hardly expensive, and they do not start generating revenue for at least several months.
It may seem like a lot of work with no return, but this is true of many new businesses. If you become discouraged and stop working on your blog before it reaches a sustainable level, it will never get the traffic you need to make your blog attractive to advertisers and earn you money.
The good thing is that a single ad click can cover your hosting costs for a month or one private advertisement, such as a sponsored post or paid review from a brand, can pay off a year’s worth of web hosting.
Now imagine you have the website traffic to get thousands of clicks or dozens of reviews each month. That’s how you make money blogging – earning traffic and then monetizing that traffic in different ways.
