If this is your first visit, please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Hey I am not too proud to beg so now I am begging please subscribe, okay I am messing with you if you don’t want to subscribe I still love ya!


I would like our new President Elect Barack Obama’s first priority to sign in a bill to put a moratorium on how to make money blogging. This really needs to stop, if I run into one more so called expect on how to make money on the internet I am going to throw my laptop out the window. Please if you made your first adsense check from google be proud but don’t proclaim yourself an expert. Yes you made money but did you really? How many hours, blog posts, checking your adsense clicks have you put in.

That first hundred dollars you make in adsense is equivalent to sweat shop labor in third world countries. Shoot it may have even covered your cost to host your website but you are still no expert. I think the 80/20 rule probably applies to most make money by blogging websites.

Luckily I make my living in real estate and although I also write real estate blogs that help in selling real estate I thought making a general blog would be easy to monetize but I know longer care about making money and figured out that is the wrong reason to be blogging.

I’ve been through so many blogs on the subject of how to make money I find these blogs are not the ones I am interested in and realize it is not about making money. To me any money I make is gravy, it certainly will not support me but blogging has become something I enjoy and meeting fellow bloggers through my blog and social networks has been fun.

How about you do you blog for fun or profit?

    I for one don’t blog for money. The satisfaction I derive is from knowing I could have made a little difference in someone’s else life with what I’m blogging about and that’s what matters most. Whilst money is a sweet bonus at the end of the day..

    There is money to be made in blogging but one should not expect to just get rich right off the bat. It takes a dedicated writer with good content and a dedicated fanbase that is constantly rewarded to make any decent money and even then the time spent may not be worth it. Blogging should be more about enjoyment and discussion, not money.

    @ Yan I agree blogging should be something you enjoy and have readers who enjy what you blog about.

    @ Taylor Very well said, A lot of people get into blogging for the wrong reasons thinking it is easy way to make money but that is not the case at all.

    I enjoy blogging because I am able to let go of my flowing thoughts and opinions and share it to everyone making an active discussion. Its also a nice way of making friends to people who has the same interests as you do.. but money?? That’s a lame reason.

    I have thought about making money from my blog but I really don’t want to monopolize on it because it is just for things about me. Maybe in the future I will make another blog to make money but for now I will keep it simple.
