Great post. And shocking as well for a new blogger like me.

I am trying to make a income from my blog or whatever online business I can excel. But as far I know for a online business to grow you need a good popularity. If you want people to buy your product you have to create a trust circle first. And writing blog posts are the ONLY way, i think to it.

So right now as a newbie blogger I am going to drive traffic to my site and then start thinking about business.But what ever you said is true, though it is difficult for many people.

Interesting blog post. I always wonder what I could do for an online product. I’d figure I write a book and send it out for free. Something different, something not about niche building and SEO. Maybe something about my personal life that I could give advice on. Then if that first book becomes viral, my second book will make some amazing money.

Paul outstanding post, i am totally agree with your statement that blog poor bloggers only write content. Selling products on blog is 70% better then advertisements.

i totally agree…blogs don’t make money but what you do on the blog is what brings in the money.
same goes to having a website…it is what you do (providing a product or service) is what brings in the money…just waiting for clicks may work for big bloggers but that is low use of an asset…
this is the truth newbie bloggers must know.
thanks

Hi Nina, it can take a while when you’re new. Stick with it, and keep trying to improve bit by bit. I’ll admit it took me a good few years to really start blogging well.

Without seeing your blog I can’t offer any specific advice, but if you’re trying to make money from reviews and affiliate marketing make sure you are adding lots of VALUE for your readers, and not just making everything an affiliate pitch. You need to build traffic and trust before you can start making decent affiliate revenues.

Hi,
I love to read your blog, I’m very new in blogging. I found out that it is not easy to blog. What I mean is to maintain the blog, to get audience and traffic to my blog. How can I know that my blog is doing ok. My blog is about books, short stories, childrens’ corner and recommendation (affiliate marketing – selling products).

so far, there’s not much traffic, because I know my blog contents lack of something, nothing unique..I think I need to learn more.

[...] let’s face it, just as man cannot live by bread alone, Bloggers cannot live by blogging alone. Both products are on opposite ends of the complexity scale. One being easy to pull off (the eBook) [...]
