Money making blogs
Is it human nature to want to make money? Perhaps not, but it is a driving force for many people. Bloggers are no exception I suppose. Not only do a lot of people make money from their blog, there are a multitude of people blogging with advice on how to do so.
For some bizarre reason, the more of these “make money online” blogs that I see, the more I think of the “Amazing Ab King” and other similar exercise devices. You know the ones, for 3 easy payments of $49.95 and 10 minutes per day in front of the television you can have a washboard abdomen (not to mention well defined everything else).
Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not suggesting that such blogs do not offer good advice or that they are not well written. In fact I continue to look at some of them regularly. For example John Chowis an established blogger with a lot of worthwhile things to say, while although Chris Gill might not yet have the same level of readership he has plenty of useful advice especially in the area of SEO. There is just so many of them.
Is the “Ab King” that I saw advertised on the idiot box this afternoon any different from the equally amazing “Ab Blaster”? Is one making money related blog really any different from another?
Do they really work? Of course they do for some people. As a relatively new blogger I haven’t even thought of making any money yet. If I do I know there will be plenty of information out there to help out. I think though that like the Ab Blaster, success will be dependent on spending more than 10 minutes in front of the monitor.
For now I am just happy to have an outlet for my thoughts and perhaps to have a few people read them and share theirs with me.
