How do I make money from writing a blog
-
I’m not in any hurry, I was just wondering out of interest. I’ve just created my blog about 2 days ago, so no content on it yet and I’m very aware that I won’t be making money from it any time soon.
I was just wondering for the future how, once my blog gets quite a good following (if ever) then what is the best way to make some money from it? I know that I would have to get a domain name and pay for that and I would probably create a more personalised theme for my blog when the time comes but how would I go about that from WordPress.com?
I’ve heard that the best way is to move my content to WordPress.org. How do you do that? Also does WordPress.org allow you to do whatever you want to your blog regarding appearance, set-up and design?
Also how does the money making thing work?
I know non of this will apply to me for a while yet, but it’s nice to know what I may be getting myself into and know more about the ins and outs of stuff. Thank you :)

There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes any of that. If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising, affiliate links, paid or sponsored content you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org
