Keep up the good work..

Thanks!

Making money online.. especially more than just a couple bucks a day takes time. If more people would realize this, the world would be a happier place! Too many people want to make a million over night and then get mad when they are scammed, but most sites that promise alot of money in a short period of time are just that.. scams!!!

Keep up the great work..

@Ray, Thanks for your comment Ray. You are right, one has to keep putting efforts to sustain traffic and income.

I went through a similar experience when I started blogging a few years ago. It took a lot of time and energy to get to the point where I was able to make money online.

One thing to remember also is that you’ll have to keep putting some effort into your blog or that income level will start to drop after a while. I’m working on building my blog (and income) back up now.

the initial period is the toughest period and more than 50% – 60% of bloggers drop from there.

@Sumee, there are a few more things like optimizing for search engines, using the right titles for posts, categories/labels on top of writing. Basically, you need to get a lot of search visitors (much more than direct readers and friends) in order to get ad click income.

@Kurt, yep… start blogging as a hobby if you like writing that is. You don’t need to really worry about the money part as it will just follow. Once you have readers and traffic just pick the right monetization instruments that’s right for your niche. That’s it!

@Bucks4U, Thanks for your comment… Great to know that you have had your learning the hard way. Regardless of the time taken, if you finally know that you can make it happen, you are already successful.

@Nimil, thanks for your comment. Yes, it was mainly meant for newbies

I have been battling for a few years to establish a online business until I met a guy that trained me with step by step tutorials. I have learnt more in 1 month than in the past years buying all sorts of promises and nothing happens.

Even I got my first income after nearly 10 months. Well then these 10 months were months of learning new things and new strategies.

And I must say that I learned some cool things here too. My niche is not abt MMO or Blogging tips but applying what i learn all way long has help a lot and now there a recurring income.

The best is to start blogging as a hobby and not to simply start to make money. Money will come later on.
