Starting a Blog For Money
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has an excellent post about starting a new weblog based solely on the expectation of a large payments from Google Adsense:
Michael Buffington writes that he’s just started a new blog on the topic of Asbestos. He’s doing so not because he’s interested in it but largely because it pays good money. This type of blogging is becoming more and more popular as people realize the amount of money that Adsense ads can pay out if you create a quality site on certain topics and can generate good traffic levels.
Though building a profitable weblog is easy, it is definitely not a short term endeavor. If you don’t choose a topic that you can get excited about, you will not be able to keep it up. My advice to those wanting to start out: look at your hobbies and interests first. Only after you’ve settled on a list of topics that you wouldn’t mind completely dominating your life for the next 18 to 24 months should you look at the potential Adsense revenues.

Just one problem with a blog TOO narrowly focused… these items FLUCTUATE in the amount bid on the keywords.
Asbestos has dropped drastically. It still would have an awesome click through value though!
But if pending legislation about the asbestos cases passes… it could dry up overnight.
If you can get the blog up, get it indexed so search engines are sending traffic or otherwise promote it, it’s possible to make money relatively quickly.
I think marketing would be the key though.
