Still on the topic of blogging...
Posted by: ShackledMuse on Jun 07, 2010
My previous article was about a unique way to profit out of the whole blogging business. About setting up a well known site, selling it and starting all over again.
Now the whole idea of generating income from blogging is still stuck in my head, now stronger than before. Up until a month ago I didn’t think it was possible to make a living a from it. I won the Top Earner spot on myDL and everything changed slightly. It might not be an amount that I could live off on a monthly basis, but its a much better start than I expected.
(compared to the few cents I made on AdSense, indeed MUCH MUCH better.)
This got me thinking, as most things in life do. I’ve read a great amount of articles out there on how to make money, some even from the big names themselves. They make a six figure income, so their advice is good, right?
Not necessarily. See, most of their tactics revolve selling stuff. Selling information. The key, according to one problogger, is to write about something you’re knowledgeable about, but only make 10% of that knowledge available. The other 90%? You sell it. In the form of e-books, most likely.
Now I don’t know about you, but I’m not particularly fond of that idea. Or about having tons of google adds floating all over my site. I’m sure there has to be other options out there, and when I stumble upon it, I’ll be sure to share it. (Isn’t that the glorious thing about blogging, and internet marketing in general?
There’s enough opportunities and potential clients out there so that no one person really has to be stingy about it. I can tell you my secret and I’m pretty sure we’ll both be able to profit from it)
In the meantime, I’m just gonna write and write and create good content for my site, and write some more. Even if I don’t get to make big moola from it right now, writing is still therapeutical.
