The main benefit of blogging on Orble is being part of a vibrant community and having a large number of people read and respond to your work. Many bloggers have also had exciting opportunities open up for them through the exposure their work has had on an Orble site.

In the first six months most bloggers don't make enough revenue to justify the time spent on their blogs purely in terms of an hourly wage. This is why most blogs fail. It usually takes at least six months to build up a large enough readership to generate any appreciable revenue. Anyone that says differently is pulling your leg. Successful blogging requires patience, persistence, and a long term perspective.

It is also important to keep in mind that some topics generate more advertising revenue than others. Sport, Business, and Gadgets are typical examples of high earning subjects. French Literature and Philosophy are examples of a low earning subjects. As a rule of thumb have a think about how many businesses would want to advertise next to your material online. If there is a good advertising market for your topic then returns will usually be high.

It also helps if you join an established site which already has a large readership. When an author is invited to write for a domain blog we talk to them about their goals and formulate a strategy which is right for them.

Apart from the regularly updated blog format, online guides or books on certain topics can also be quite successful. In addition they have the added benefit of not needing to be updated. Once the initial work is done they can simply be left to generate residual revenue. If you are interested in writing a book or guide please contact us.

How much can you expect to make? Orble bloggers make anything from a few cents to $100 or more per week depending on how long they have been blogging, what they have been blogging about, and how good their writing is. To have a successful blog you need to spend at the very least two hours on it every week, ideally around five. If you build up a successful Orble blog you can also sell it, as long as it remains on the Orble network.
