Why You Will Be A Miserable Failure at Make Money Blogging
The make money online industry offers hope to people who want to make money from the comforts of their own home. They make it seem like anyone can do it and in truth, they can. However, they need to follow the right principles. The sad thing I see is that too many well intentioned “artist types” feel that they can convert their creativity online to make a living blogging. In a politically correct blogging world where there’s a lot of back patting and keep at it encouragements, let me be the bearer of bad news and say you’ll be a miserable failure if you keep this up and not change from the blogging mentality to an internet marketing mentality.
The arts community struggles in the real life world with getting donations and grants but you think you can make a living online where people are known for wanting things for free. Do you think your words of blogging wisdom will compel them to buy your latest ebook or whatever else you are peddling? Oh wait, so you’re giving away your ebook for free hoping that they will buy something from your affiliates. The same principle applies. The blogging community is notorious for harboring cheap bastards. And even if you manage to pick their pockets one time or another, how often can you churn those ebooks out until the well runs dry. And then you’ll have to find some other clueless artistic types to leach off from. Have some sense. Few artists can make a living in the real world and even fewer can make a living online blogging as well.
The only way you will make money online is if you ditch the blogging gig and come up with a viable online business idea that will fulfill customers’ needs to buy a service or a product. This is what internet marketing is all about. You don’t have to convince them to buy because there is already a built in interest. Oh, there will a lot of screeching from the liberal type that of “but I’m an artist”, “I want to be creative”, “I don’t want to sell out”, “I don’t want to promote crap”. For this I answer you don’t have to put anything on your niche web sites that you’re not proud of. Ethics, values and internet marketing are not mutually exclusive.
But if you want to be the struggling artist type even online, then so be it.
