Do You Want to Create a “Make Money Online” Blog?
You probably have seen hundreds, if not thousands of them. There are thousands of “Make Money Online” blogs out there, and you’re reading one of them right now 😉 Bloggers seeing others earning thousands in this niche (or at least claiming to) jump into the niche without knowing anything to get a piece of the pie. But most of the people who follow this will fail in the long run.
Yesterday, I came across a post of Yaro Starak. He explains how this pattern unfolds:
Quotes from his blog:
1. You sell people products about and attempt to teach how to make money when you’ve never made money yourself.
2. You’re planning on chronicling your journey to make money through blogging and thus profit from the audience you build.
3. Believing that if you make enough blog posts promoting affiliate products eventually you have to strike it rich.
The point is, if you have an excellent way to make money online, then why are you selling it? You might have 100’s of posts on your blog, a readership of 1000’s. You’re making a good amount of money from your readers…then why sell your method?!
The logic is simple, If a person tells you he will ‘teach’ you how to make money online, it’s scam. No one can be thought for making money online. You need to learn it yourself! There are no ‘tutions’ or ‘classes’ for making money online. The products and out there. Weather you use Adsense, Clickbank or just work as a freelancer, you need to do it yourself!
Good luck!

I agree and have been telling people this for a very long time, if someone had a method making them $500 per day why would they sell it for $10? What benefit would they gain by exposing their method if it is so successful?
But people will remain gullible and scam artists will thrive. All the information is available for free on the internet and the methods that will work best for you will never be found in an ebook.

With blogging you really got to stick with it! One strategy is to make a large amount of niche blogs and promote them till they make about 5$ daily a piece.
