are earning big from their Blogs.

that is much in demand or something that has
high public intrest like political events or social
change. All have been the theme of specific Blogs
that have millions of readers and create huge

And you can believe that those 10 Blogs are
creating a huge income for their owners. Is their
something you can create along the same theme
as one of those Blogs. If not you should also
know that the most popular categories of Blogs
are

1. Political
2. Self Help
3. Recipes and Cooking
4. Fishing
5. Automobiles
6. Scrap Bookig

And the list continues but I'm sure you can begin
to see the possibilities.The more specific you make
your Blog the more readers you will have on any one
subject but you don't want to get to specific. While
Homemade Recipes could probally be a highly read
Blog Raisin Recipes might not. Sure you would get
some people wanting to read about Raisin Recipes
but if you broaden it out to Homemade Recipes you
have the potential of a much higher number of
readers. And the more readers you have the higher
potential you have for income.
You can make really great income on your Blog
from Google Adsense and other types of advertising
and affiliate programs. Another really good income
producing program for mainstream Blogs is
Xml Feed www.nbcsearch.com. And there is a wide
selection of mainstream affiliate programs that
can give you a really nice income especially for a
popular Blog. Some great places to check out for
income sources for your mainstream Blog are

Premium Affiliate Network www.QClix.com

5 Star Affiliate Programs www.5starAffiliatePrograms.com

There are of course many more but those are
some of the best and pay their affiliates on time.

Now some of the people making the most from their
Blogs pick out affiliate programs that sell items simular
to their Blogs theme. For example Recipe or Cooking
Blogs sign up for affiliate programs selling cookware ,
unique spices , exotic meats or etc. While Fishing Blogs
might sign up for affiliate programs that sell Fishing
Supplies , Books on Fishing or even trips to remote
fishing spots.

Think out side of the box. Can you come up with a
new spin on a popular item or is there something that
you have a lot of knowledge about. If so pursue it. Who
knows maybe you will be the next six figure blogger.

You need a ideal , a written out plan of what you want
to do and you need to get started with your ideal. Why
put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Maybe all
your life you have collected all your family recipes from
generations past. You could have there the basis for a
very popular Blog but you never know until you take the
chance and give it a try. Remember that from small seeds
great things grow. And if you leave your ideal in the
back of your mind or in that dusty box under the bed
you will never know. After all you can easily find
hosting for free or very cheap for a mainstream Blog
and if you are writing about a popular item people will
find you. Before you know it you could have that six
figure Blog.

You don't even need a unique, new ideal. It can be old
knowledge, repackaged and remarketed in new ways.
Look at all the diets out there. There are only 3
variables in the diet game: food, exercise and mental
attitude. Susan Powter, in her hugely successful diet
infomercialand book, "Stop the Insanity!" doesn't teach
anything new. She teaches old stuff in a unique way.
And MAKES TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOING IT!

The formula is pretty simple:

Identify a Core Human Desire/Need

Find new technology for solving this Core Desire/Need
and/or Find a new way to market to this Core Desire/Need
Sometimes the line between success and failure is razor thin.

Can you develop and come up with a six figure Blog ideal.
Of course you can. But it will take effort , planning , and
the desire to succeed. I don't remember who said it but
the longest journey begins with the first step. If you
think you have that ideal give it a try. You never know
until you try.
