Several people tell me these days that they thing that I have been making too much of money from blogging. But I never look at it that way. If only I had been a full time blog monetizer, I would have made lots more, and am not at all happy with the pocket money, if you can call it so, from my blogs. If a waiter or a barman make $100 a week from a few blogs it might be good for them, but for me its almost nothing.
Well, I could definitely earn more if I spend more time on it, say perhaps $2000 a month, but trust me, it is really a boring job. Nothing bigger than the job of a Data Entry computer operator. Just read stuff somewhere, and write them on your blog, and get a paid post, and write about it. It is boring, and you will get fed up very soon. And it is not a challenging job. So fi you are just a bloody clerk, you could do that, But I dont think that I would be able to do much of that anymore.
By the way, I just spend a few minutes this afternoon thinking of all the opps that I have missed in the past few months, and that counts up to a few thousand dollars. I do remember the names fo the websites who wanted a blog article writen on them, but as payperpost says, I think it is unethical to contact them and get the opps for myself. After all, they have been paying me all these days and giving me oppertunities.
In blogging it is just loss of profits, and not really a loss. I am not loosing any money from my pocket, and the $10 that I pay for the hosting for my blogs every month, I dont really mind that.
Hello Ravi:
First of all, this is my first visit to your site and it has been pleasurable to read thus far. I agree with you in that some of the bloggers write stuff that seems to get boring after a while. Additionally, if it is only money that one is after, there are definitely much faster ways to make it than by trying to monetize blogs and such. The rate of return is not necessarily what some people make it out to be. Then again, just like you say, one may choose to blog for other reasons, too. For me, it is a way of taking my mind away from my otherwise very hectic days, and I use it simply as a relaxation technique. On-line revenues is secondary in importance. Anyway, congrats on a nice site and I hope to visit more often. Thank you.
