Yeah you can make money but I like to look forward to my blogging rather than see it just as a job :) @Maki - Always happy for people to link to templates - there is no way I have the mad design skillz ;) @Easton - Yup, I guess most things worth doing take some effort, eh? :) @Armen – yeah a personal blog can also be fun :)

I haven't tried the keyword/AdSense strategy. As you point out, it's also important to have fun. Why else would we do this? :-) c Chris, this is a great little guide: thank you.

After setting up shop and really digging in, I quickly realized that what you have said is very true – earning money from blogging is hard work. It takes time to do it right (i.e. focusing on quality content, building relationships, diversifying income sources, etc.). I think your list is spot on. Great work!

I learned so much in my first 4 months. My advice to anyone that is clueless is to start with a personal blog, and get to grips with the lingo, tools, resources, etc, before launching into a business or money making blog. Nice post Chris, looking forward to next week now! Yeah, just be patient and willing to learn Sue.
