The Truth about Profit Blogging

You might be wondering where I left off since my last post if you look at the date. All of a sudden there are no more posts since then. What happened for the last 3 years? To be honest I was demotivated and rather discouraged about the true facts on profit blogging. I readily know that it might take years before I can actually see any results so to speak.

I have been trying many things and possible ways to earn something for a living and profit blogging is just one of them and it’s a new field that I kept on trying.

Traffic

I couldn’t agree more about traffic. I think it’s THE most important aspect of anything in the realm of money making on the Internet. It is as simple as to regard traffic as customers who walk pass your shop and to think of keywords as their interest to why they would enter your shop and purchase something. Not using the right keywords would mean to not care about what the customers want. Traffic is like viewers on YouTube. More views simply mean more traffic. More traffic does not necessarily mean more profit if you don’t have good products up for grab. Always have good contents to offer. At least that would keep the interested minds on board.

Time and Pressure

Ever since I watched The Shaytards on YouTube, I really love this quote from Shay Carl and if I may say, his mentor for success, Dave Ramsey. “Time and Pressure”. It’s simply a motivational figure of speech in which a person, me or you or anyone else must be patient (time) and keep doing whatever that we’re doing. Applying “pressure” is like to keep on pushing and never to give up or surrender for whatever objective that we’re attempting to reach. Coming back to that aforementioned 3 years in the first paragraph, I was purely way off this time and pressure concept, to the point of giving up and never to be blogging again.

I am not embarrassed to say that I am a result-driven person. I must see some results, some good signs to come, in order to be certain, to proceed and to go on with what I am currently doing.  My profit blogging journey started to show something, even from the low number of traffic that I am getting just by the year 2008. That was a clear sign that I should go on and keep doing what I was doing. To keep applying time and pressure indeed.

In short, the truth is you need to give it some time before you would actually see any results. I knew I read that somewhere, I am confirming to that notion now. That making some profit out of blogging was indeed true. Don’t be dreaming about making huge profit within the blink of an eye or overnight though. So, give in some time, keep on blogging and posting good stuff. With a bit of luck you’ll be on your way to reach greater success. Put it this way, always be positive.

Problogger - Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

If you are looking for a good book to learn about making money blogging, then Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett's "Problogger Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income" is a must to have. The authors explained the entire process from various aspects such as creating and marketing your blog as well as ways how you can make money blogging in an easy step-by-step approach.

This book is essential for the begginer bloggers as well as intermediate skill bloggers. Quoted from the back cover of the book:

"This is not a get-rich-quick book, but rather a practical guide to creating and marketing a blog with the potential for generating a six-figure income."

Learn to:

• Choose subject matter that works for you
• Handle technical issues
• Examine different ways your blog can earn income
• Evaluate your blog's success
• Keep content fresh and interesting
• Use your blog to generate income indirectly

I personally have the book and frankly was overwhelmed by the contents. There are so many things to learn that are rather new to me in my profit blogging journey. You can expect to have really good information and advices that will help you to better yourself both on becoming a regular blogger and a profit blogger.

Do note that as said by the authors, this is not a get rich quick scheme. So, if you're impatience, this is not really something good for you. It does take time and effort from what I experienced and I am glad the book helped me with various aspects of blogging.

Welcome to bloggersyde

Hey everyone. Welcome to bloggersyde. This blog is just up and running. Here I will be posting mostly on stuff related to blogging - tips, monetizing blogs, profit blogging, money making, Internet Marketing and possibly some rants to break the boredom. Perhaps like most of you, I am bored with the nature of Internet Marketing. The more you get yourself involved, the more truth you discover about money making on the net.

Blogging is one of the most sought after platform for money making on the Internet. To be exact - on the world wide web actually. That's because blogs originated from "weblogs" - much like a recorded or a softcopy of activities done on the web. By the way, softcopy means a virtual copy as contrary to hardcopy like printed manuals.

I am sure there are possibly many ways to make money online. And blogging is just one of them. I hope to learn more and to share with you what I have experienced. Don't forget to leave some comments. Drop some useful tips maybe. Let us share the money making experience.

Stay tune and enjoy!
