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..

@ 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.
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.
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.
Agree with you but you have to understand that most of these bloggers who blog about how to make money blogging do not have a stable job or are students or part-timers who juggle between a few jobs, so they really have little to blog about their lifes or jobs. At the same time most of them will tell you that the niche is saturated and yet they plunge in, I guess they do not know how to make money blogging otherwise.
I agree the last point of lambros real who doesn’t know how to make money through blog they take this as a fun. But indeed it’s not only use for making money but sharing some though as well as. The usage is depend to us, indeed blog deem many one as a money generated icon.
I second the motion. People that blog for fun make the most money. Those that blog for money do far worse and its tacky. Please if your going to blog provide value and not just crap!
As my notion blogs not only the way to communicate but the sake to earn some extra money. Now it’s become a commercial need for all business. It’s pretty well for both condition.
The worst place to make money online is to blog about making money online. At the very least that’s what I realized early in my blogging career.

Blogging is not all about earning. You may just want to blog to share informations or connect with families and friends. The later seems the best reason you got
I’m trying to get into blogging but I’m having problems getting original content. I can’t think of anything I could write about people would actually read.
It is kind of funny I was searching for short sales and ran upon your blog. I love your blog and just bookmarked it.
Blogging is a little part of earning, many blogger use it for back links, but the main idea is to share the planing, problems and illegible rules.
I think there are many way to get money online but blogging is more harder way. Many bloggers just come hear for enjoy but most of the bloggers come to share the info.
Blogging is now become a tough way to earn online. Many sites don’t except all blogs and drag tham in to the spams. It is getting more harder & harder but the good sign is the rate of bloggers are also increasing.
I like to post comments it’s a most interesting work in S.E.O, but after dofollow & nofollow categorization it become too difficult and most dofollow sites use keywordluv and wordpress.
I personally do not see myself earning significantly thru blogging. I blog because I find it a form of freedom of expression. AlthougI wish I could earn from it, I still prefer my blog style to be as free flowing as possible.
it is very good business and does make us live of our own and we need not work under any one. real estate is a business that we can run like a free bird and earn lot of money.
Blogging is a effective & worth base thing, because this is the only thing which required too much concentration of all related factors. Real estate is a huge market & this market is increasing the blogging demand that’s why blogging is now become a fast money making solution.

Blogging should be done is order to express yourself and in order to provide your readers with essential contents. We blog not only because we want to earn the bucks, but because we want to share.
Yes it’s true I know a lot of people making money from blogging some did not succeed too but what is really the exact way to earn money on this? any suggestions? tips?
