Funny, brash, concise, sweet, no-nonsense & straight-to-the-point. I agre with the sentiments expressed in this blog post very much.

It is not possible to teach people how to make money if you are not making money yourself.

Great and to-the-point post. But I dissagree with you about the very crowded niche.. f. example with dieting, there is still a lot of value there..

I have to disagree with you. If you want to make money with your blog, you have to think outside the box to drive traffic to your blog. To make money online involves more than just blogging.

No. 16 made me laugh. Adsense is still the best payer out there. The others don’t even come close (mainly because they haven’t the clout to sign up advertisers).

Blogging is just like any other online venture and will require trial and error. Thanks for the info as it will definitely help the process for everyone. I’ve found affiliate marketing to be real simple and you can incorporate that into a blog as well as ad space.

These 20 reasons just hit the bulls eye. Quite blunt but hey, such information stated are all true and I definitely to all of the 20 reasons you posted. Make money online through blogs will be a breeze if these reasons are well-absorbed.

Making money using blogs really depends on search engine traffics. A blog with many useful posts and interesting information will improve in the SERP.

Blogs can be a realistic and significant part of making money online, but you need to have your finger in many “pies” to be able to successfully make it. Also often overlooked is that you need to either have, or be able to create, the correct mentality to stay focussed and determined as – at least initially – things may move slowly and it is easy to give up. After much searching I eventually [edited] found the program that works for me in here – the only one that gave me a real hands on approach and showed me the ropes from end to end.

Admin edit: I don’t usually edit comments, but if you’re going to promote websites through the comments, at list don’t take people for dummies. Saying that you’ve searched a long time for “program” and you’ve finally found it, when actually that program is yours it’s spam and insults people. This comment stays as an example of how not to comment here and because the first part still holds some truth. All links have been removed.

While I was not going to approve the above comment the first time, I’ve decided to approve it and to answer it publicly.

1. anon, obviously short for anonymous, making a million by the end of 2009? That’s a bold statement for someone who does not share his true identity. First sign of fake.

2. Destroy the hopes of newbies? Mate, I’ve only underlined some real facts that people do, even if they are simply stupid things to do or say. From my point of view, I’d first try and be a good blogger and only after try and “sell” money making tips to others.

3. Why don’t you share with us your blog’s URL? Is it anonymous too? Second sign.

4. “Just because you still work 9 til 5 doesn’t mean everyone else has to.” Indeed. Really looking forward to the day when we all work 10-12 from the comfort of our homes. Unfortunately, some still have to grow food and make the clothes bloggers eat and wear. And by the way, it’s more like 9 to 1 AM in my case, to cover all i feel like doing.

5. “And i bet i can make your grandma’s pension back within a month.” Wouldn’t it be a shame if you wouldn’t? I know I make at least 10 times more in a month, so I guess that basically everyone should be able to beat that.

Now mate, next time, either sign you comment and provide solid proof for your expertise, either join the spam IPs. Cheers!

Actually mate i looks like im gonna hit my first million by the end of 2009.

Just because you have no idea on how to make money online doesnt mean you need to destroy hopes for all the newbies.

the main reason most people never make money online is because they dont do it properly.

My blog is just going to provided reviews and information techniques tips and tweaks to help budding on-line entrepreneurs. ie how to make a successful squeeze page etc.

Just because you still work 9 til 5 doesnt mean everyone else has to. and i bet i can make your grandma’s pension back within a month.

Not hitting six figures yet but have just passed four. Not enough to leave my full time job, but enough to make it an enjoyable hobby.

At the beginning it seemed like this was going to be a very angry list, but as I looked at it again I could see your point, and it’s actually quite real. It’s because of stuff like this that I’ve unsubscribed from so many newsletters on how to make money online, because at a certain point they’re all saying the same thing, only changing a few words here and there. Of course, number 5 is my favorite, and when I really start making any real money, you’ll see mine on a consistent basis. But I wasn’t scared to show that first $8 I’ve made since the beginning of the year.

When I first start reading this post I kinda got offended because I have a blog that talks about making free money online. As I read through I understood what you meant. I am new to the blogging world but I am learning from people like you. But I am trying to get better at this. It was interesting reading your post though.

Well, If you do decide to make a run for a make money online blog, we’ve got a new social news site dedicated to the topic – http://www.carnivalofmakingmoneyonline.com .

They say in Hollywood that two B list stars in a scandal can equal A list material, lets see if Social Voting Sites (digg clones) + making money online can produce a C list website.

Don’t tell me I can make tons of cash with AdSense. That time is long gone. Have you seen any new $XX,XXX.XX cheque photos lately?

That’s true ! Totally true. Adsense smart pricing has made me mad to run suck adsense anymore.
