For all of you thinking about launching a blog to become rich or famous just stop now, seriously. We all hear about bloggers who make 200, 300 grand a year with their blogs but there is something you don’t know. Chances are they started blogging when the blog and blog marketing was first invented and have never stopped.
Launching a blog and writing 50 posts and wondering why your affiliate ads are not generating enough profit for you to stay home is a ludicrous way of thinking. Time, patience and years and years of writing is what it takes to really make money from a blog through your blog marketing efforts. Not to mention proactive blog marketing efforts, partnerships, trade shows and everything else that comes along with owning a business. You do know that a blog should be run like a business right? if you are going to launch a blog do it because you have a passion for a niche or industry and you want to write about that topic. If you make money from it than that will be a bonus. There was a recent post done about a blog that was averaging a few million unique visitors every few weeks and the amount of income they generated from that much traffic was not even worth writing about. Making money from a blog should always be a secondary interest.
