Money From Blogging

You must be tired by now about reading make money online articles in many blogs, may have downloaded many free e-books, explaining how to make money online or explaining their experience of earning 10$ a month to $40,000 a month by blogging.

You may also also read many posts why bloggers fails to make money online. Also you may have read comments on those posts by various bloggers, readers with arguments, counter arguments. Some people really argue well with facts, logic and conviction. One can learn a lot from reading them.

But I have not noticed two points so far. May be I have not Googled enough! Those two points are :-

1. Blogger earn money by not blogging in his own website or blog, but by doing something else. That something may be affiliate marketing, putting Google AdSense advertisements, AdBrite Advertisements etc. But by blogging ? who has made any money by only writing on his own blog? Making money online or offline is completely different than blogging. They use blogging as a tool to bring in visitors to their website, a lure to bring in customers to buy what they want to sell.

2. Many blogger, blogging experts, making online money experts have rightly point out that 5% of the bloggers really made money, some in millions, some in thousands! So far so good! But how many of them could actually predict that they would make x amount of money ? Many of the experts on making money online or established blogger started blogging as hobby and when they started earning some money or started getting inquiries which could be converted to money, they took blogging seriously! So, they became blogger by fluke, not by plan!

3. Blogging is not the only way of making money online, nor it is the easiest way of earning online. There are many other ways to generate revenue online and I think internet business is much bigger than money generated by in blogs!

So, if some one wants to earn money by advising or consulting others how to make money online, it is actually if he knows enough tricks to earn online or not rather than the question if he himself had made money using his own tricks or not! After all there are many professors who teach students and students become successful in life, but professors remain just professors!

Many online money making gurus are not professors, but trying to make money by using the some one else idea of making money by selling E-Book online, that too about how to make money online!

Experts on any given field can make money without writing a single article. Have you found specialist doctors writing articles or blogging to bring patients to their clinic ? If he had been doing that, most probably, he is an out-of-work doctor trying his/her luck now on internet.

So how to actually earn online money ? Wait for part – II.
