…does not come over night!

Blogging is a long term venture which can’t be seen on a timeframe of several days or month.

Most of the successful bloggers out there have invested years and a lot of work to achieve there positions in the blogging Olympic, guys like Darren Rowse, Chris Brogan, Robert Scoble and David Meerman Scott, only to mention some very important celebreties, people which I highly respect for there doing!

Nobody of them became successful overnight and could live from his blogging from day one!

Like Chris Brogan wrote in his book Trust Agents, you need to gain trust within the community, than the people will follow you.

And they also will trust the advertisements and the advertisers which advertise on your blog.

Also you should take care of your reputation and not include any advertising on your blog.

Think about it, your community trusts you and to gain such trust can take years, but to loose it only some seconds. So choose wisely which advertiser you do accepts to advertise on your hardly trust earned blog, your most valuable real estate on the web.

What kind of advertising to take on your blog? Good question!

I recommend accepting credible advertisers first, not the one who pays more!

Should you write sponsored/paid blog posts about products and services? Yes absolutely.

I know what you think right now … Booooohhh, You are selling your credibility!

No, not really!   Because you are free to write what you want even it is a sponsored/paid blog posts about a product or service from an advertiser.

You are free to express what you think, no matter what! That’s the beautiful thing. An advertiser pays you to write your honest opinion and my advice is to do so, be honest and fair!
