If you blog, don't give up on revenue

For anyone who's been blogging for some time and hasn't gotten much revenue, I'd just like to say: don't give up.

It has taken me about three years to collect $109 from AdSense. Three years of burning electricity, experimenting, writing, cropping and uploading pictures, you name it. But AdSense finally deposited the funds. And recently I broke over $10 in a day for the first time ever.

For a long time I haven't made enough to even cover electricity. But thanks to ProBlogger, Joel Comm, HubPages, and now Aweber, my dreams of making money as a writer are starting to come true. I already have about a $15 head start on my next $100 and I'm planning to make it just three months before I get paid again. In the meantime I thank VillainTech.com for their writing assignments, ePinions for their residuals, and Digg, Technorati, CommentKahuna, Twitter, BlogHub, and StumbleUpon for their promotion of my blogs.

So as you can see, it's not just a solo effort. There are applications and programs out there to help. Just keep at it if you're discouraged. Look for advice in blogging forums, and if you have a question you can't find the answer to, ask it!
