I have now been a blogger for nearly 3 years at this point. While I really enjoy blogging (especially the writing part), I have struggled in making the income pay enough to match the effort. At this point, I am only making around $300 per month with all of my blogs, and this is via the Google Adsense program.

Adsense is wonderful, don’t get me wrong. I love the program and it has been a great fit. I think every blogger should use Adsense in some capacity. However, my thinking has recently evolved and I am now seeking newer ways to increase my overall blogging and self employment income. Here is my strategy:

1. I hope to go through all of my sites and do a little SEO work. This means adding a few anchor text links to other articles within the same site, build a few backlinks (which will require me to be a little more social in the blogosphere), and more. Hopefully this will help in the long run with SEO, and increase my site’s awareness in search results. I will do this ethically of course (no black-hat stuff). This is all in effort to increase traffic, and also maximize my Adsense income.
2. I hope to blog more on each site (increase my post count), and provide informative or entertaining posts that satisfy the reader (or at least I hope so).
3. I am going to experiment with paid post programs. I think there is a lot of potential here, and I hope this works out like I hope. I could really use the extra income.
4. I am going to do some freelance writing on the side. I hope to join a few sites that pay up-front for articles. I think this might be a nice way to earn income writing (other than just blogging).
5. Build more content for some of my newer sites (in hopes that they will build up over time).

So that is the plan. Basically, I am just going to maximize Adsense, do some pay per posts, and try my hand at freelance writing. I will try to update on how this works out for any other bloggers who are struggling to find success like me.
