Where does the money come from?
1. Start blogging for money not readers. Loyal readership don't click on ads or adsense. So get traffic from the search engines as they don't really know where your content lies. First time visitors will click an ad or follow your adsense trail if they can't find what they want on your site.
2. Start selling your domain's name for money. You can command money for paid reviews and advertising if you are a well known blogger and has a large readership.
Where to blog for money?
1. The cheapest and fastest way is getting a free blog host. The problem is that the options are often very limited and most of them do not allow homemade scripts. And when they suspended your free host, you loose your valuable visitors. If you really want to use a free host, do buy your own domain name and parked it to the free host. Take note that free hosts are not for business purposes. Get free web host here.
2. Invest your money on a good web hosting and a good domain name. I would recommend that you get your domain name from Namecheap.com, the cheapest approved ICANN Domain Registrar. But before you purchase your domain name, do check for discount codes from this Coupon Codes site or here. For other registrars, you can find the codes here. Beware of registrars who do domain name tasting.
Where to host your domain?
There are two low cost web hostings that I would like to recommend. They are ComputingHost and Deasoft. The costs for a web host are vary depending upon what you are trying to accomplish. Before your purchase your web hosting, do get reviews from this forum and this site. Some good links about web hosting: Reseller vs. Shared Hosting, Shared or Dedicated?, GoDaddy Sucks, HostGator Tips, Scams.
