Make Money from Blogging

Bloggers not only polish their creative abilities through blogging and get jobs in the worthy institutions but also earn money at their door step by writing blogs. Some bloggers take blogging partially as their source of income and some consider blogging a full time job as source of earning their livelihood. The most famous way of earning from blog is advertisement. Nowadays Google’s “AdSense” is the most famous service through which Google receives ads from different companies and gives these ads to the websites all over the world. When someone does click on that ads, every click charges some cents and that cents are accumulated in the account of the owner of the website. At the end of the month, total amount of the cents is transferred in the account of the owner of the website. Some other companies also provide such service.

Majority of the bloggers is writer that’s why bloggers write their new book or sort out their blog’s post and publish in the form of book. Bloggers sell the soft and hard copy of that book through blog. You must keep in your mind that it is not possible to earn money in the initial stage of blog writing but it demands effort and struggle. First you have to get fame by writing good, descent, and unique writings. After prominence you obtain ads and find some other ways of earning money. It is a simple fact, if the blog is not famous and nobody visits the blog, then who will give you ad?

Actually a large number of bloggers in the world is earning a handsome amount through blogging. Some top earning blogs in the world are; the news blog “The Huffington Post” of Arianna Huffington whose monthly income is almost 2.33 million dollar. After him the earning of technology blog of Pete Cashmore “Mashable” is almost 5.5 lac dollars, the monthly income of fashion blog of Mario Lavandeira “Perez Hilton” is almost 4.5 lac dollars, and the income of technology blog of Michael Arrington “Techcrunch” earns nearly 4 lac dollars.

In this field of Blogging, Pakistani English Bloggers are also in the position of earning handsome amount. But there is no such sign of earning as far as Urdu Bloggers are concerned. It does not mean that Urdu Bloggers are not up to the mark as compared to English Bloggers but they have earned good name not only in Pakistan but also in abroad among the Urdu community because of their dauntless, sharp and unique style. World’s renowned Google AdSense has not started to give ads to Urdu websites yet, which is one of the reasons of fading of Urdu bloggers in Pakistan as far as earning is concerned. Anyway in the world a large strength of bloggers does blogging for the sake of money but in Urdu Blogosphere, bloggers is such a community which does blogging for the sake of interest and love for its language.

Beginning and Brief History of Blogging

We can’t say ultimately about the beginning of Blog and who was the pioneer of Blog. But we have some hint about the beginning of Personal Blogging that was first introduced in 1994. It is probably assumed that an American Justin Hall was one of the first bloggers. He in 1994, started to write Blog during his college days; and Jerry Pournelle‘s name also comes in the pioneer bloggers.

Blog of that time was different in technique and appearance. Blogging of Justin and Jerry was like of personal diary and personal journalism. Blog series was started from that time but it was not called as blog at that time and Blog was not a proper word in lexicon. Actually the term “Weblog” was coined latter on 17 December 1997 by an American blogger Jorn Barger. Afterwards this term was compacted into word Blog by Peter Merholz. It happened in 1999 that Peter broke “Weblog” into “We Blog” in the sidebar of his blog as fun. Thus majority of online diary writers started to use this short form “Blog” instead of Weblog and word “Blog” got familiar from that time.

Latter on the thread of term “Blogger” appears to be linked with Pyra Lab’s “Blogger product” that was started on 23 August 1999, which is provides the service to create blogs. Further the owner of blog also known as Blogger. In 2003 renowned Google has purchased Blogger product that is now called as Blogspot. Earlier there appeared some other services for the sake of Blog creating e.g. Open Diary, SlashDot, Movable Type and famous WordPress. Now-a-days the process of writing a blog is called Blogging. The world of blogs and their interconnections is called Blogosphere. In fact Brad L. Graham coined this term on 10 September 1999 in a funny manner that is used now-a-days. This Blogosphere is now called as “Blogistan” in Urdu language.

As a matter of fact blogging has been started but after the incident of 11 September 2001 it flourished by leaps and bounds. Bloggers started to express their feelings on every significant event and this series is still continue.

Suggestion for Choosing Blog Service

Here is some discussion about different blogging services and some suggestions, where you should make blog.

Different Blogging Services to create Urdu Blog

•    Free Service
•    Personal Domain Name and Hosting
•    Personal Domain Name and Blogspot.com

To Make Urdu Blog on Free Service

Some companies provide free service to create Blog, like Google’s (blogspot.com). Blogger and Blogspot are the names of a single service. Most probably www.blogspot.com site stands first for free blog service and www.wordpress.com of WordPress organization comes second. Besides these two there are many other sites that provide free service for blogging but these two are the most prominent. Because of some facilities Blogspot is comparatively better than WordPress, and the most convenient way of creating one’s own blog.

To Make Urdu Blog on Personal Domain Name and Hosting

Address of website i.e. domain name and hosting are same as the address of a house. Domain name is “address” and hosting is “house”. When someone is willing to go one’s house, he gets address first of all, and this address leads man to the required house. Similarly, when someone writes Domain name in the web browser, this Domain name leads him to that particular house (hosting). Hosting is the main place which has the matter of the website.
In this method you buy the domain of your own name like I have bought mbilalm.com then you have to purchase webhosting. It is same as to make other websites. After getting domain name and hosting you install WordPress, then blog is ready. WordPress organization provides you “wordpress CMS” free of cost to create blog on your personal hosting.

CMS stands for “Content management system”. This CMS is the most renowned CMS as far as blogging is concerned. You can call it web software that is installed on website. And after some slight changes your website is ready. Keep in mind WordPress provides facility of creating your own blog on www.wordpress.com and provides CMS to make blog on personal domain and hosting. Name of this CMS is WORDPRESS. Keep in mind ‘Wordpress CMS’ and ‘Wordpress.com’ are two different things. Often people do not be able to distinguish the difference between these two because of resembling name.

To Make Blog with Personal Domain and Hosting on Blogspot.com

In this method, only Domain name is to purchase and Hosting of Google’s Blogspot is used. Let suppose if I have to use the hosting of Blogspot for my own domain (mbilalm.com), then I have to do some changes in the control panel of my domain name e.g. I have to give the name of hosting server of Blogspot in A-records and CNAME. Similarly I have to include Custom Domain in the settings after creating Blog on Blogspot. In fact through this process Domain is connected to Hosting and Hosting is connected to Domain. After this Blog is controlled via Blogspot, while Blog opens with personal domain i.e. domain name appears in the browser but blogspot is running on the back end.

My Suggestion for choosing Blog Service

•    If you are not a technical person and don’t have technical information about websites, then you should prefer Blogspot to create blog and find a suitable Urdu template and upload it.

•    If you have a little information about websites, then purchase your own personal domain and use hosting of Blogspot.

•    If you have enough information about website, then buy the domain name and hosting and create your own blog.

•    If you are not well informed with technical information about website but have interest in personal domain, then spend money and ask a web designer to set your blog up. After it, take care of your blog yourself. If you are not willing to take care of your blog yourself, then hire a web designer’s services for this purpose of maintenance of your sit. You can place your order of creating personal blog to companies or web designers, they can make your blog but you have to write your articles of your blog yourself. A web designer will only co-operate you in technical process of issuance of article on the blog.
