Without a doubt, most of us got into blogging because we wanted to make a lot of money quickly or because we actually had a passion for it. When the “money quick” bunch figured out that the money wasn’t exactly quick or even existent, they either disappeared or converted over to the passionate bunch.

For most of us, there’s no question that starting a blog is a daunting task. If you’re not very technically savvy, WordPress is pretty simple to use, but there’s still plenty of information to digest.

I don’t like the word “Make” here. I am not trying to persuade anyone to stay on my blog or pull magic tricks or anything like that.

Recently I was working on a couple of websites that I created and I was really impressed with some of the results, so I felt like sharing my experience with more people. Even though I might not be a PROBLOGGER or an A-Lister I feel that this was something that anyone struggling to get readers to stay and coming back on to their blogs. Read more »
