Getting Rich Through Blogging
I still see many people throughout the many webmaster forums claiming to make huge amounts of money through blogging. They claim that they set up a blog, copy several articles from elsewhere and start making a couple a thousand or more a month in the first three months.
Guess what? That is 99% bull mixed with a huge load of dog crap. Most blogs make a little money and the more blogs you have, the more you may make. You can make money from blogging and many earn a nice income each month. However, creating one blog and becoming rich is rare.
There are a few big names in blogging such as Shoemoney and John Chow. However, these are rare cases of bloggers who have become major successes. It does not mean that every blog that is created will make you a millionaire. It takes hard work, dedication, and lots of patience. You also have to spend money running contest, advertising, creating controversy, and more.
Can you get rich from blogging? Yes, however, as I stated, it is rare to earn huge money from one blog. Instead, try to build the best blog you can and work hard to provide great posts that are unique and full of good information. The blog will build over time and at some point, you can earn a descent amount of money through ads and affiliate links. Until that point, just have fun and enjoy your blog. If you are in blogging just to make money, there are easier ways to earn money.
If you became rich by blogging, please share your story by leaving a comment or two.
yes, I agree with you that for some people thought that making money from their blog is just as easy as back their hand, but actually it need more hard work and dedication. They must be also spend more time to promote their blog
Getting rich from blogging reminds me of those late night TV ads where you “sell online but don’t have to carry a single product”. Maybe one person has made money at it but 99.9% of the people who do it fail.
