Ned Marx asked:
Blogs are an excellent source of money to supplement your regular income, and can sometimes do well enough to cover or even exceed your day job. However, there are some things you have to be particularly careful about when you plan to make money blogging:
Intrusive advertisements – Do not blind yourself with your pursuit of money by signing up for too many ads on your blog. Even the most popular of blogs will suffer if the advertisers they sign up with constantly use pop-ups and those annoying page-blocking advertisements on your precious weblog.
It may take a little more time and effort to do so, but make sure to double check what advertisements your ad agency will be posting on your website. Load your own blog, and if you notice that the quality or quantity of ads begins to detrimentally affect the readability of your blog, negotiate with your ad agency on what can be done to minimize the clutter.
Illegal and Offensive links – When you plan to make money blogging, you will often be tempted to sign up with lucrative advertising agencies. However, make sure to screen the content of these ads on your blog.
Pirated videos and music, bogus health supplements and pornography are definitely some advertisements that you would want to avoid. That is unless, of course, your blog contains content that promotes or contains them. Then you would not have a problem with offending people with your blog; you will just have a problem with the law should the time come.
Copyright Infringement – Copyright infringement is not just about uploading content on your blog. Although that is pretty blatant infringement, a more subtle problem here would be dropping the name of some big company in your blog without their approval.
This is particularly problematic when you make money blogging. The problem stems from making money by associating these copyrighted names and content with your blog; effectively using the brand name to make your blog more attractive.
Defamation and Political Statements – Many people have been fired or slapped with lawsuits when they carelessly tossed around names in their blogs; especially when these words are critical or derogatory of certain individuals or establishments.
If you plan to make your blog long-term, steer clear from political criticisms and ‘flaming’ certain individuals, products, establishments, or companies. The last thing you need for your money-making blog is to get a lawsuit forcing you into a lengthy, costly, legal battle.
Leaking Trade Secrets – Whatever you do, do not leak confidential and private material in your blog about anyone or anything out there. Even just simply talking about what happened at work could have some stiff legal consequences in the end.
While it may prove to be an innocent and exciting aspect to add spice to the content of your blog, the legal repercussions simply are not worth it. Again, a lengthy and costly legal battle is something that you do definitely want when you want to make money off blogging.
Blogs are lucrative side-lines to supplement your income or replace it altogether. Just keep these red flags in mind when you want to make money blogging, and you can wait for the cash to roll in without having to worry about any problems in the long run.

What is blogging and how do you make money? I’ve looked into so many sites for making money such as Project Payday, Swag Bucks, GPT Money Online, and more. I don’t understand how they work at all. Can somebody please explain to me how this works, and how to make money blogging?
