Understandably, blogging beginners will talk about the topics that are closest to home: personal experiences, what they ate for breakast, rants about traffic, work and home activities and others.
Now, the question is: can a personal blog earn? The answer is yes!
If you modify your blog theme a bit and make it travel-related, you will have a travel blog with a personal touch. Travel is a very hot niche in the online world and hotels and resorts will always be in need of sites to promote in.
If you love to talk about your day to day life, maybe you can describe the places that are worth visiting in your hometown, or the weather nowadays. Is there a storm coming? Is the neighborhood having a fiesta or a community event soon?

Sure, there are magazines and reading materials, but since blogging about the places they are promoting is the trend now, they look at these places to promote in.
- Travel is not just for the wealthy, it is also be for those who are persistent enough to go abroad and look for work. Think of your ‘personal blog” as your way of helping these people read about local news and occasions.
- The online dating industry is sizzling! International interaction means there are more people now who are curious about the culture of their online friends. Someone who could be looking to marry a pinay or pinoy will go to your site to find out which traditions are unique to the race.
