Grab a few PR5 and PR6 blogs, sell 10 ads per site and you’re looking at four figures per month. While Ben’s Four Figure series was mostly focused on how to nail 4 figures per year from a single blog, you can certainly use his principles across several blogs to get to the $1000 mark much sooner.

On my <a href="http://www.braintied.net/" rel="nofollow">blog</a>, I explained my goal, how I'll get there, and what I'll do to reach my goal. Basically, I shaved my head and will not cut my hair again until I've reached my four-figure goal =).

I had forgotten about your tips I had previously read until today, but ended up making about 10 times my usual affiliate amts this month through one of your ideas, so thanks! In case anyone who ends up reading this is interested in purchasing a domain, I have some coupon codes that work with GoDaddy domain registration which you can pick up <a href="http://inoveryourhead.net/godaddy-promo-codes/" rel="nofollow">here</a> (they're valid til the end of June). Thanks again. :) Hey Ben, I’ve really enjoyed this so far… I had forgotten about your tips I had previously read until today, but ended up making about 10 times my usual affiliate amts this month through one of your ideas, so thanks!

Because making money from blogging requires a commitment to the long-haul, this isn't such a bad idea. Also, some hosts give radical discounts for prepaying. When I bought my first hosting service, I paid 9.89 for a year of hosting, and that wasn't with no slouching stats either. It was for some astounding amount of storage and bandwidth. I got the domain and hosting for the same price that some people pay for just the domain. Finally, having your own domain allows you to throw a couple of keywords into it. In the long run, this will help with the search engines and be more recognizable to people around the web, resulting in more type-ins. Great series, and I'm looking forward to part 4.

I often stumble upon hosted pages which seem to showcase excellent content. Oftentimes, rather than concentrating on the content, I begin to wonder why the author does not invest in his/ her own domain. If anything, bloggers who yearn for a decent and reputable track record online should invest in a domain and dedicated hosting. You can never trust a site hosted for "free" on someone else's dime.
