Money From Blogging

Continuing with the Part – I of What Make Money Online gurus have not told you, I would like to post the part -II, what a offline revenue generator think about earning online by blogging or otherwise.

1. Earning money online and earning money offline are same
Both are same only the marketing and promotion method are different. But the tricks of making money remains the same. So if you have not been very successful in making money yourself, chances are, you will not make money online too. You may be a good writer, good SEO, still you may not make money, as you may lack marketing skill as well as converting inquiries into work order. And then get the payment credited in your account. A sale is not complete, unless the goods delivered, payment credited in seller’s account. This involves a complete process and it is hard work. It may be automated like in Google AdSense advertising, but as many Make Money Online gurus have pointed out, majority of revenue comes from direct sales, not from AdSense advertising.

2. Sustaining the struggle period
It is a hen and egg situation. You may think of turning problogger ( short for professional blogger), once your monthly income reaches the same or more than your income from your present 9Am to 5PM job, chances are you will never put in enough effort or you will not have enough time to put in effort to achieve your condition for turning turning problogger. If you are expert in certain field, by writing blog or starting an website, you will get more inquiries, but still you may not be able to convert them into your revenue. And, let me tell you it has nothing to do with your expertise, SEO tricks, writing skill, it is simply that it is not easy to convert an inquiry into a purchase order and then get payment credited in your account.
So, one may have to take the plunge and become problogger leaving his job. But he may not make enough to sustain himself immediately. But all expenses would be and must go to expense account of blogging, right ? So how does one sustain say for one year period ?

3. Blogging as part time business
So, consider blogging as part time business if you do not have the business acumen in you. Internet has lot of redundancy of data already and one should not add some more data redundancy. Do not expect to become millionaire by blogging and when it does not happen, do not break your heart.

Blogging or website can act as force multiplier at best, but if it does not involve some sort selling just like the traditional way, website or blog can not earn you any money except may be some change in AdSense. Hone your selling skill as well as making money off line first, and then going online, you will make more money, easier way, much faster.
