Forget Blogging about Making Money Online
If you aren't already making money online then you shouldn't start a blog about making money online. Period. I have been blogging for two years about my experiences trying to earn money online and I have only earned a little money from my blog (Around $200 a month). That's obviously not even close to a full time income and truth be told - it won't ever be unless I can prove that I'm actually successful enough to be blogging about the topic in the first place.
Why would I pay to get my muffler fixed by someone that doesn't currently make their living off of fixing mufflers? Why would I listen to a professor teaching about entrepreneurship if they aren't a successful entrepreneur already? If the primary focus of your blog is how to make money online why would I read your blog if you aren't already making a lot of money online?
Now when you read this short post you may ask yourself why then should I as a reader care to read your blog Chris? Well, because I've anticipated this question as I began to write this post I'll tell you why you would read my blog:
When I do post it's about information I believe is valuable enough for those of you out there that are currently trying to find a way to make enough money from your web ventures so that you can quit your day job. After all - that's what I've been focusing on since the beginning of this year. I am already excited at the prospect of looking back two years from now when I've surpassed my income goal and see a blog full of posts documenting how I reached my goal.
That's the story I'm trying to share and if that interests you I recommend you subscribe to my RSS feed so you can follow along in my journey.

True, but not true too. There are people making money and people who aren’t.
Maybe, might want to redefine your whole plan or something. I’m not quiet sure.
I remember before when I was doing affiliate marketing, I thought I just lost the touch on how to do things. But now that I think back on it.
I’m sure I could of redefined my whole plan starting from the beginning. Probably came at it from another angle and made it successful.
Hope your doing well on your other blogs. Good luck.

Great post, Chris. If you’re not writing about something you really know, people will know it. They know when you’re faking it.

[...] new to the idea of earning money online and you aren’t sure what the topic should be please don’t start another make money online blog. Instead pick a product category that you’re interested in and start a product review blog. [...]

One thing I’ve learned over the last several years of trying to make money online is to use trial-n-error. Try everything with your Blog to fully monetize it. Never assume something will or will not work until you try it. Never stick to one thing, especially if it’s not working.
I have a Blog that I constantly try new things with that is now approaching $2,000 per month profit after 3 years – wish it was really $20,000 per month
, but hey it pays quite a few bills . I also have e-commerce sites and I dabble with Affiliate Marketing, where I lucked out and for ten months last year and grossed $125,000 in commissions. Today I trial-n-error a bunch of “stuff” (new sites, affiliate marketing, etc.) and I’m certain I’ll luck out again with some winners.

Hey Patrick,
That’s good news about your blog and the e-commerce site. Do you do internet marketing related activities full time now then?

Thanks Shane and Brian!

Back in the day, when there were fewer people making money online it was okay to be new and post about it–cause it was new..But nowadays it’s so congested that everyone is just vomiting the same information…over…and over…and over again. lol
You’d think people would get it after awhile but these online trends are almost so beaten to a pulp that it’s discouraging…
sheesh..lol

I completely agree Melody. One way I’m trying to differentiate myself is by only posting incredibly relevant information that I’ve learned from experience.
I got out of the information regurgitation rat race long ago.

THANK YOU for writing this post! I couldn’t agree more!
I very rarely plug my own site, but I’ve got to point out a very similar artile I wrote:

Friends!,..
If you are looking for a really simple way to add new content to your website daily, without having to write a new article everyday … you need a blog! Maybe you already have a blog but have not posted to it in a long while because of all the time it takes to write a post for each of your blogs.You know that vbulletin now introduced new blog/forum templates. so you try to use this opportunity and create more blogs and earn.
Thanks
