How to make real money by blogging

For sure Google adsense is nickel and dimes for most, and for some (like me) the height of crassness. Rather like putting adverts on the door of one's car, or one's letterheads. (I'm such a blog snob.)

Product endorsement is pretty hard. Easier to say one doesn't like something, much harder to say one likes something, and keep that up. Think how many products one comes into contact with. Many aren't liked and discarded, those that are kept are kept forever. I just couldn't keep on and on and on, endorsing a product, it'd get pretty boring, and very transparent.

However, I've got to think of a way of writing about flower delivery. Mother's day delivery of flowers. Sending flowers to say "sorry," sending wedding flowers, delivering bouquets, sending bunches of flowers, flowers, flowers, lovely flowers.

Oppposite is how much it would cost for me to buy the Google adwords for flowers and flower delivery = £44,000 a day Or £1,320,000 a month! I can't afford that, not that I've got a UK flower shop anyway. But I'd love to get a revenue share of the click throughs. "Har, Har, Har! Bloody flowers! Lovely flowers!" I'd be certain to say every month the cheque dropped through the letterbox.

So, if you want to be as big as Bill Gates, start a blog about flower delivery, floral delivery, and ordering flowers and the rest of those £3.00 click through bids.

You'd need 25,000 click throughs, so 5,000,000 good hits per day (the low industry average @ 0.5% click through, some sites have reached 5%).

And sometimes Google gives up to 90-100% of the revenue, sometimes more than 100%. We're talking big numbers here. Now, how do I write stuff about flowers to achieve 5 million hits a day? Hmmm. I'd better sleep on that. I'd better sleep hard, since I know not a jot about the damned things. Flowers? They grow in the ground and look pretty.
