Once you’ve got your blog in place and have added plenty of good-quality, searchengine optimized content, you may be wondering when the money will start rolling in. If only it were that easy! The thing about making money on your blog is that blogging is the vehicle for your actual business, not the business itself. Let’s say you own a flower shop. You have the physical location, you decorate it all cute, you install a cash register and take out ads in the local paper. You even stand outside the door, handing out tiny blossoms and business cards to people who walk by. That’s all well and good, but until you start actually providing value to your market, you’re not really in business.
