Stop Trying To Make Money Blogging
The ability to make money blogging is the number one goal that most all online bloggers hope to accomplish. And although there are a great number of bloggers who do make a very good living with their blogs, there are others who can’t seem to make a dime with theirs no matter how hard they try! Why is that?
My answer…
Stop Trying to Make Money Blogging!
I know this may sound contradictory, but the main reason behind blogging is that you have something to share that people can actually make good use of. And if you get paid for it, it’s a well-deserved reward for all the hard work and effort you put into what you do. The ones who make money blogging, as opposed to those who don’t, get this.
Listen, people can tell if you’re a phony and just after the money. And people can also tell if the information at your blog is legitimate or just there for the money you can make. So stop trying to make money blogging, and just let it happen as a result of the superior information and value you provide your readers!
When you determine to blog for money making purposes, you’re not blogging simply for the sake of “talking to hear your head rattle” (my Grandmothers favorite expression) You’re blogging from the standpoint of having insight, understanding and with a purpose. And since you enjoy blogging about your interests, niche, etc. then making money becomes a product of those efforts.
Think of blogging in this manner…
Blogging is a way to promote businesses that share mutual ideas & values
There’s no need to feel guilty for placing ads on your blog! More often than not, your readers do not purchase a product that is advertised on your blog simply because they saw it there. If they do happen to click on your ad and make a purchase, then it’s their personal decision and you had very little to do with it. At best, all you did was to inform and educate them about the benefits and rewards of the product. Ultimately, it is the buyers decision whether or not to make the purchase.
Blogging to make money is more than just about the money!
With your blogs, you are able to provide people with information and educate them about the things they need to know. After all, isn’t this why they come to visit your blog to begin with? So, you’re not just some self-serving person in need of expressing themselves. You’re also providing a valuable service to people who trust in what you have to say, and also in what you can do to assist them in whatever way that you can. And again, you get paid as a result of your efforts.
Blogging is a ethical way to earn money online
Listen, you are not in the business of trying to take something away from your readers! Your purpose in blogging is to provide the knowledge that you have to offer, and they in turn come seeking that knowledge. This is the essence of blogging, and when you get paid for it, this is your reward for being good at what you do. In my opinion, if you are a moral, ethical and legitimate blogger; and you know that there are others out there who are not, and who are selling people junk that doesn’t work or help them, then you are the one doing a disservice to your readers if you do not provide them with legitimate products that do work.
Blogging to provide a valuable service to both the business community and those who wish to make money blogging, sharing something of value with others they can make good use of, and helping people to succeed online isn’t such a bad way to make money now, is it? So, stop trying to make money blogging and just let it happen as a result of all the hard work you’ve put into your craft.
