As some of you have already know, there are few really successful local bloggers out there that have made blogging not only a great way to socialize and sharing info but also as a source of income. There are differences between blogger that blogs for fun and pretty darn serious blogger that know the art of SEO and make money through blogging.
One such example is Lilian, the blogger behind popular blog 5xmom. Click here and you can see her September income that is very impressive I might add. She also list-out some tips on how to make money by blogging;
1) Good contents which give me good page rankings - High organic traffic
2) Hard work and discipline - Setting targets and pushing self even when feel sick of the work
3) High standard - I need to maintain good quality posts or else I can risk getting banned by advertisers
Another blog, My Organic Income is another success story and managed to accumulate $3969(I assume it's USD) in the month of September.
It is very encouraging to see that a local blogger, such as Lilina can earns as much as USD5,010 a month. Now, who says blogging is a waste of time?
