Blog Building Roundup

Read More About: Blogging | View Comments(5)

Being relatively new to the personal finance blogging community I searched around for articles from other successful PF blogs on how to assemble my own site. I found a few real keepers, and thought I would share them here. The first two are recent posts, and the others reach back some, but their advice is timeless (and invaluable).

Clever Dude wrote a great article titled “How I Monetize my Blog.” In the article he describes the various ways to make money blogging, the advertisers used, and he shares his general philosophy on the influence advertisers have over personal finance bloggers.

Amy, over at The Motherload, put together a great piece outlining the concept of “Gaining a Readership: The Frugal Way.” As my name implies, I just love the idea of doing anything the frugal way!

The Simple Dollar devotes an entire category of posts labeled “Building a Better Blog.” Because I couldn’t single out a specific article amongst the great ones listed, I decided to link the entire category. Seriously, it is that good!

Millionaire Mommy shared her ideas on “How to Grow Your Blog Business: 12 Success Tips for Newbies.” As a newbie, these really hit home for me and there were several great tips to implement immediately.

If you know of any others you feel should be included, please include in the comments so all us “newbies” may use this post as a resource to improving our own personal finance blogs.

      Glad I could be of help. Don’t forget my “50 Tips for New PF Bloggers” article. I was told it’s good for all bloggers, but since I labeled it already, it stuck.

      Hi Frugal Dad,

      Came across your site as a result of an email from Spuds, our organic veggie box company. Great Blog! So useful and wise. Emailed it to all my blogging friends.

      Thank You!
