Making good money out of blogging may be the most popular topic one can find, and there are hundreds or even thousand bloggers who are teaching us how to do it. But why are we not achieving it?

If you will notice, I used the term we since I am also in the same situation. So if you expecting me to give you some good sites to join in, sorry I cannot share one right now although I know some. But if you are not interested to know why you are not getting good money out of blogging, then I suggest you finish reading this post. But I must warn you; this post is quite long as I am going to be as detailed as possible.

So why are we not making good money out of blogging? Here are some of the heartbreaking reasons and how we can cope up with them.


Because we are young and impatient

This is the problem by most youth bloggers, as they are aggressive but impatient. They like to make good money out of blogging but they hate reading long but useful posts. Most of them are contented with PTC sites and forcing their mouse and fingers to be faster than the speed of light. Although there is nothing wrong with it, but give me a break. There is really no good money out of it. We have to read, learn and apply them, as making money out of blogging has many opportunities just waiting to be discovered. However, we must be patient because there are no shortcuts or magic hidden inside.

Because we are good

Being good cannot give us good money in blogging, as there are hundreds of thousands of bloggers around who may be better than us. It is hard to win visitors and make them our consistent followers, and if they find other blogs that are greater than ours, they will easily unsubscribe to us. We may have a lot of true friends, but they are only a small fraction and we cannot expect them to click our adsense every time they visit. Therefore, we should create posts, not just write them. We should promote our blog like a hungry lion. We must aim to be the best among the rest.

Because we listen to what experts say

Experts spend years just to become one, so we must not expect them to share to us all their techniques. It is very helpful if we read posts of a top blogger who is earning a six-digit figure, and follow his tips. But it does not follow that we can do exactly what he did, and then blame him if it did not work. We must know how to read between the lines. In short, do not listen to what experts say and study them instead. Affiliate marketing is a good source of income, but convincing power of the affiliate that will attract buyers. We must master the art of selling.

Because we are not spending

We want to earn good money and yet you are not spending a single penny. Well, that’s great. I am not saying that it is not good to start with a blogspot blog, but what is $30 for hosting and a domain name if you can have more chance to earn than using a free service? Darren Rowse of Problogger hired some technical guys and if he did not do it, it may take longer before he is where he is now. Time will come that we must spend money for advertising, SEO and reading materials. Business is about taking some risks, and we need to invest in order to gain.

Because we are overspending

We may be earning but how much money has you spent? When should we use an expensive hosting service? Should we buy a theme to make our blog look more professional, or choose among the free ones that are almost equally attractive? How much should we really spend to advertise our blogs? These are only some of the questions that we cannot just ignore. Making good money out of blogging requires basic knowledge about Accounting and Business Management, because this will guide us to how to be a wise spender. Again, business is about taking risks but we must find ways to reduce it.

Because we are not destined to be one

You may raise your eyebrows, and I understand you. I do not believe in luck, but I believe in destiny. No matter how hard we study and apply what we learn, there are just some things that we cannot do. Every person has its own limitation and we must accept that. Success is not just about faith and passion, it is also being the right person at the right place, at the right time. It is impossible that all of us can have a blog worth $15M as there can only be one John Wu. After all, there are other ways to making good money not related to blogging.

The richest businessman in the world is the one who have mastered the flow of money.
