Firstly, let me be the first to raise my hands and admit I am the clueless blogger.

When I first started blogging, things were way simpler then. All I need to know is know how to type and publish my post on my free Blogger blog. Incorporating a YouTube video in the post is already an accomplishment in itself. Those were the days. The days before bloggers realized they can actually make a little side income by monetizing their blogs.

When monetization comes into the picture, so do words like SEO, blog marketing, link baiting and social networking. With money in the picture, comes greater incentive to know more about making even more money. Honestly, no bloggers who are serious about earning a buck or two (modestly speaking) would not read-up and try to pick up a tip or two from those ‘professional bloggers’ or make money blogs.

For those who are constantly on the lookout for internet marketing tips, Allinanchor.com is a good place to start. This site covers everything from web design, marketing tips to SEO pointers. The thing that gets me is the fact most articles are straight to the point and in plain English. Nobody needs to be a pro to understand the articles. This is an important consideration for newbies like me who is just starting to explore the potential of blog monetization.

I admit blogging is getting more complicating than before after money comes into the equation. I know this sounds cliche, but the honest to goodness truth is, if blogging is something you have a passion for, monetization is just the bonus.
