Is monetizing blogs and website still a lucrative online venture? I have several friends showing interest in what I am doing – that is paid blogging.

A friend of mine who has recently lost her job asked me to teach her how to do it. I shared with her how it’s done. Based from the facts she gave me, it seems she’ll have to start from scratch coz she already forgot what her old blog’s website address was. Oh well. Blogging for money isn’t like it was before. With so many bloggers getting into the paid blogging wagon and advertisers having fewer budgets for advertising, opportunities are few and fees are getting very low.

Another friend who has a toddler decided make money online by registering her website in affiliate marketing. Her website was then hosted by WordPress so I suggested to her to get her own domain coz WordPress doesn’t allow bloggers to monetize their blogs. With the help of website hosting reviews from the Web Hosting Geeks, she was able to find a good website host.

Anybody looking for help in setting up their own sites can benefit from Web Hosting Geeks. They offer lots of information regarding web hosting, and their blogs tackle subjects related to web hosting. For starters like my two friends, Web Hosting Geeks’ post “What to Look for in Web Hosting Support” provides readers useful information in their search for a good web host. So if you’re planning to make your website either for fun or for monetizing, you already know where to go for your web hosting needs.
