Make Money Blogging Without Using Ads

Ok, so the title may be a little deceiving, but it is totally true! I just scored $50.00 USD, thanks to blogging :)

Fellow blogger Kelly Cho has been holding a Loyal Reader Contest since the beginning of April. The rules were simple…

“If there is a day in which I forget to put up a post, just be the first one to put a comment on my following post (which’ll probably be the next day but who knows) and you’ll get the fifty dollars.”

Kelly did a great job of keeping her blog active for over three months, but when she slipped up and didn’t make a post for nearly two week, I was quick to jump at the next post and scored myself the winning $50.00!

Contests like this are a great way to keep readers coming back to your site each day and also help keep you motivated to post new content on a daily basis.

Thanks again to Kelly Cho for the fifty bucks!
