Is Blogging Keeping You Poor?

Posted by Judy on November 17, 2008 under Blogging, Monetization

They?re laughing at us. Did you know that?

Informative article from Copyblogger:

Right now, someone who refers to himself as an ?Internet marketer? is sitting in his bedroom, dressed in nothing but his undies, laughing at how hard bloggers work for how little money we make.

We drive ourselves to creative exhaustion by expecting ourselves to pump out a never-ending stream of remarkable content ? a stream that, even in the best of cases, only pulls in a couple hundred bucks a month in advertising revenue.

And the guy in his undies? He?s one of the thousands or even tens of thousands of people making six figures online every year. Sure, he worked hard in the beginning, but not anymore. Now he?s connected and focused on growing revenue, not creating an endless supply of free content.

    Except that I’m blogging to create a following not make money from my blog. So I create content for my own benefit.

    I want readers to want to read my work. If they do, if they’re interested enough, or sufficiently impressed, they MIGHT want to read my novel.

    With all do respect Sir, but good content has a little to do with making money online. I have a lot of friends that are extremely good writers but unfortunately there are so many good blogs out there that it is pretty hard to be one of those really successful bloggers that has like 30k readers and sells advertising on his page. However, if you really like to write you can do it on your main blog and at the same time have multiple other blogs designed to make you a steady low maintenance income stream.

    It’s a pity that most people that really want to make money from blogging have great expectations in duplicating the success of those few bloggers but as a matter of fact this is quite naive. If you really want to know how yo make money online an not just a couple of hundred dollars from one single blog please visit http://makemoneyforbeginners.blogspot.com/ and give it a read. My intentions for commenting on this blog were completely different but after noticing this post I decided that you deserve to know some aspects of online marketing.

    I’m sorry if I said something wrong. My intention is to help and inform. That blog is not mine, just a good fellow that is sharing great information for free while others charge hundred of bucks for it. Everything I mentioned earlier I learned from him.

    With respect,
    Billy
