“Make Money Online”! The magical catch-phrase, and the thing that almost every blogger seems to know about; or at least claim to do so. How much of a cliche had that come to be? I know people had wanted to earn money since few second after the beginning of time. But, don’t you think it’s a bit unnatural having so many people who claim to make a living online? Don’t you think there’s too many people with make money online blogs and portraying themselves as pro-bloggers?
Quite frankly, my point here is that anyone can start a blog. But what you are, is not a thing that you yourselves decide in this blogosphere. You might be making money from your blog – or not, it doesn’t make you a problogger. Some people say I am seriously under-monetizing MindBlogger. Well, I am quite aware of the fact. When other people who are in the range of my traffic makes $20 off of a rotating 125×125, I haven’t even been focused on getting private Ad Sales. And that’s how I want things to be. Not that I don’t want to start private Ad-Sales anytime soon, but, right now, I am focused on building a better blog.
When do you come to that level? That everyone will look up to you and say – “Hey, that’s a problogger!”? When would good times start to roll? How serious are you about blogging? How serious are you about your blog? Quite frankly, do you claim to be something that you’re not? Do you “pretend” to be a pro? Do you fake it till you make it?
If you want to have the answers, the one and the only place to look would be your blog. In the blogosphere, no matter how hard you cry out loud that you’re a problogger, your blog does the talking for you. Your content does the talking for you. Quite frankly, in the blogosphere, when you fake being something that you’re not, you’re only competing with other people who fake it. Not the pro-bloggers. And that’s why most of the “Make Money Online” blogs fail in the first few months.
Without originality, without uniqueness you want go anywhere. Picking up the scraps off John Chow, picking up a catchy headline and submitting it to Digg, (which is something you mustn’t do – BTW) is something that most of the Money Making geniuses in our time are good at. What they don’t understand is that one – 40,000 or more other bloggers already learnt it from Chow himself, and can live without their content; two – headline is only good until people come to know the dirt underneath and; three – submitting it to Digg yourself will lead your articles to be auto-buried after some time.
Now, let’s just stop and think. If an online “Money Making Guru” didn’t know this before actually doing it, then, he’d be better off being Lovelace. (Oh, Lovelace is that penguin ‘Guru’ who “knew everything” and had a necklace bestowed upon him by the “mystic beings” in Happy Feet?) So, let your blog do the talking. Do not pretend to be a “know it all” Guru, since, if your blog doesn’t say that out loud, your loud cries are just whispers in the vast blogosphere.
Just sharing an epiphany I had earlier today.
Yep I agree with you!
B4 thinkn of makn money, we should have a blog with good content
I agree with you!
And also, people need to make sure they know how to make money before they try to teach people how to make money
Yup discover how to make money and you can make a bomb teaching others to do the same.
