Long Term Blogging Goals
As the Internet business moves on it’s become very apparent that the competition is getting better and better.
I’ve been managing 8 blogs for the last year (I got rid of quite a few) and it’s really too much to handle if you want to do it right.
The good news is that no matter what, if you write good content on a fairly routine schedule, you will make money. How much money depends on; the niche, how well you choose keywords, and if you stick to it.
I don’t panic anymore if a blog or two doesn’t get a post for awhile – as long as the writing is pretty good, and it’s 100% original of course. It takes a good while to build a good blog up and I know that this frustrates some bloggers to no end – however, the rewards are too great for quitting.
You DO have to like writing, and typing on a computer for an hour or so each day. If you don’t really like writing, you won’t make it – that’s just a fact.
You need allot of posts to get the search engines presenting you high in the search results – A TON OF POSTS.
Keeping It Clean For Awhile
One of my blogs helps people with mental issues like anxiety and panic attacks and it doesn’t have a single Google ad or affiliate link on it. I chose to do this because I don’t want the search engines or visitors to be turned off or away. I’m going to wait until it has over 500 people a day before I introduce ads and money links.
I tell newcomers to blogging now to at least get a blog started and keep it going even if it’s not getting allot of traffic. Why? Because after years of writing good quality posts they could have a few thousand dollars a month coming in. Wouldn’t that be comforting when your are retired and out the work force.
So keep up your blogs. Even if it’s only one post per month. Someday it might be your entire income.

Good point about not putting any ads on a blog for a while. Do you eventually reach 500 visitors a day due to lots and lots of posts and good keyword research only? How long does it take to reach that for a new site?
