John Chow posted his now familiar monthly income report a couple of days ago proudly declaring an income for November 2007 of $27,240.

Making this sort of money is never going to be something that you can do without hard work, despite what some of the internets many con men will tell you in return for an overpriced ebook, but it is not rocket science.

John has always been honest about the way he makes this money. Its very simple. He gets traffic and then he monetizes that traffic.

The traffic comes from writing good memorable content that people want to read and marketing his blog in as many ways as he can. The real beauty of this traffic generation is that anyone can do it. There are absolutely no barriers to entry in this business.

And once he’s got the traffic the only thing he needs to do is to monetize it. So how does John Chow make money from this traffic? He does it exactly the same way that anyone else could, he uses a combination of private ads, affiliate marketing, text link ads etc. etc.

The point I’m trying to make here is that anyone can do this. John Chow is very good at what he does but even he would be the first to admit that making money from a blog can be a reality for any blogger.

$27,240 a month won’t happen over night. But don’t make the mistake of letting that stop you from starting a blog and making money.
