Make Money Online Blogs Don’t Make Money

Making money online blogs has been a thing since some well-known ProBloggers started sharing how they earn oodles and oodles of cash by blogging on their “Make Money Online” blogs. After that, thousands of other Make Money Online blogs emerged trying to copy what the ProBloggers have done. One of which was me.

Yes. You can copy them, but you cannot replicate them.

As a big lesson, never start a Make Money Online Blog if you are not actually making money online.

It’s a good thing I learned this before it was too late, so when I launched the redesign of my blog, I also switched my blog niche into blogging on technology toys, web tools and internet resources. And since, I’m a technology enthusiast, I won’t run out of topics to talk about. Right on! 8)

Looking back on what I’ve experienced when I was new on blogging, there was a lot I didn’t understand especially in monetizing my blog. Since there are hundreds of money making programs out there, it is vey hard to choose where to start. So as a help to those new in blogging, I put together some recommended money makers for prebloggers. I hope you find them useful. :mrgreen:

Have you ever tried copying those probloggers? Any success? Kindly share some of your own experiences on the comments below.

That’s what I thought too. The “Make Money from Blogging” niche, I think, is already saturated and it’s really difficult to earn from that niche right now. Unless of course, you already have the traffic and the repeat visitors. Otherwise, better to focus on other niches.

Yeah James. Very saturated indeed. But your blog seems to be in that niche right? And I think you’re doing pretty well too. :)

yes indeed very saturated. but if you make at least a dollar a month on your blog, or in any means by using the internet, well you still make money isn’t it? it’s really good if you earn something out of nothing. cheers!

I found good way earn money for bloggers. Bloggers can also earn money with online music stores that offer free music as a part of promotional program. This way you attract traffic, get more returning visitors and get paid if your visitors register with music sites. So as you can see it’s slightly different from ordinary affiliate program.

I don’t make any money on my blog since it’s unpopular, but i agree with your point. In fact, I’m kinda annoyed when I see money-making blogs that earn little or no money. (I’m not referring to you of course). It’s just that, when it comes to financial matters, I’d rather listen to someone who has been there, done that. Someone with authority who can really offer insight, and not just rehash words he has read in some other money-making blogs.

Well said, cyberpunk. I Totally agree with you!

Most of the money making copycat blogs I’ve seen have no added value or insights in their posts. It’s like they just copy from the posts of ProBloggers. Well, it is natural to copy ideas, but it’s not enough. If you really want to be successful as a blogger, you need to add your own insights, ideas and personality in a post.

This is so true! The audience of “make money online” probably know of the ads and all that stuff that’s why you will get less to no clicks hehe :P

Right! Good point Allen! Also, most users that would click are those from the search engines. Hehe.

Pierre moved to one hoch out of my way, rooming the evocative visa I had about her sincerity. Lots of the skinnier pecks meld they are swatting to have smartass with you when they are darn soldierly and they emit curious.

Thanks for including me! I find it fascinating seeing how others are doing in their efforts to make money online too.
I have higher expectations this month compared to last month. I have already earned 3x the AdSense earnings this

month as I earned last month, and we’re only 9 days into the month!
