On regular days I do not have much time for TV not to mention catching up on my favorite Soaps. I have watched on and off “One Life to Live” since I was in junior high. WOW! Anyhow, some of my favorite moments of my childhood was to watch my mom and her friends gather around the TV after dinner to cry and talk to the TV. Really, it was a lot more amusing to watch my Mom and her friends talk about the Novelas (soaps) than actually watching the TV. Plus we were not allowed in the room.

I got hooked watching Novelas when Eric Estrada starred in one; that was the first time MEN openly admitted to watching it. Not because Eric Estrada was in it…it was all because of the Women…… So from curiosity and to make fun at my Dad and my Brother I was hooked.  OKay…..so what does this have to do with blogging????? TONS….

There had been a Novela released several years ago, that I did not get to watch. So, one night working late, I decided to look it up on YouTube…. Sure enough, I found it and many of the current and older ones too. Called my sister and a friend to spread the word. So I figured to start a blog about Novelas. 

I had no clue really on the potential or the popularity of it. My blog about Novelas in less than a month had over 500,000 visits. I did nothing other than to post about the Novelas. NO adds, no Entrecard, no myspace etc…. It was all Google traffic. That same month I noticed that any term about Novelas or Latino Gossip that you entered into the search engine I was Number One or number 3.

I could not keep up with the comments and traffic was (is) strong.

Money: Traffic was strong and everyday growing and so where the clicks. However, the payout was very poor with AdSense. I could not use any Affiliate Ads, as my traffic was from all over Latin America and the other Spanish speaking countries. AdBrite, Chitika and WidgetBuck also did not offer any proper payout. Therefore, I started adding a mix of Latino Celeb Gossip and Hollywood Gossip along with Fashion related post. Within a day I saw a HUGE difference. I was making $35.00 in Google Adsense before the changes. The traffic was strong and they where happy clicking fingers but NO Money. Once I made the changes my monthly Adsense now ranges from $236.00 to $800.00.I am also using Kontera and that has made an average of $50.00.

Notes: I know that this blog has the potential to make thousands more, perhaps making it my most profitable blog ever. However, I do not have the time to watch all the Novelas, Reality TV and keep up with the Gossip. I have considered selling it but it would need someone that understands and likes Novelas. At this time, I am only updating it once a week and my Adsense is still strong.

This blog by far is the only blog I have created that has ever had that kind of traffic in less than a month.

What childhood shows or music did you watch? Have you checked on YouTube to find them? Perhaps you are passionate about watching TV or offering your opinion on past/current shows.

My advantage with my Blog about Novelas is that I can speak several languages. I post about Brazilian, Spanish, Italian and English TV.

Do you speak any other languages? Do you have a blog that took you by surprise due to its popularity?
