I’m done compiling some really good blogging tips for all of you. For those who would want a better way to save those tips, I’ll produce a pdf version on my free time. Next on my list is to compile the different ways you can Make Money Online. I believe this series would be helpful for you in a way where you could try and check which areas you can possibly explore. I know you guys are waiting for this but before I do that, allow me to share my honest opinion on this matter.

If you remember on the Blogging Tips I have compiled, I have mentioned that you should enjoy and have a passion for blogging. Look at all the big names in the Make Money Online Niche, they have a passion for what they do and money only comes in as a bonus. Money isn’t easy on this very competitive niche. Most of the newbies think that by starting a Make Money Online blog, that’s how they can earn the big bucks. Think again.

If you really want to earn Money Online, sell a product. If you are good at Marketing, then try Affiliate Networking Programs. If you have the skills, try the freelancing route. If you want to earn from ppc ads or Adsense in particular, then start creating Niche Content sites! That’s it!

Blogging requires a lot of your effort and time. It’s more than just posting one article after another. You are interacting with readers. You comment on my post saying that you would want me to compile how to Make Money Online.. I oblige. I respond. I know I have to satisfy an audience.

To be honest, I earn way more from Freelancing and Offering my Design Services than what I get from WPTD. Yet I still think it is worth it. Why? Because I have a passion for Designing WordPress Themes and I get to share it to all of you here. Because I have a passion for blogging and interacting with my readers and I get to do that here. When and if I earn money from this site, truthfully, it’s just icing on the cake.

I’m in the same boat as you, though, you’re a few steps ahead of me, successfully :) . I’ve been interested in MMO blogs and I’m actually about to start my own in about a week.
I also do template designing (the majority being WP Themes) and thats where 90% of my income comes from.
I just have to figure out how I can do more in less time… just making one Theme usually takes me 4 or 5 days.

Ralph, depending on how long you spend each day, that is a pretty good amount of time! It takes me about 2 weeks to finish a designing and coding a theme if I work on it an hour a day.

I have this in mind…

Never enter make money online niche before you have stable income from your “online business”.

One of the reason is like this,
Would you believe in a beggars words saying that he can make big money by doing business? He is a beggar see the point there? Who would believe him?

But, I know we all have different opinion on this.
Some of my fellow bloggers friend indeed have started their own MMO blog. When I stress on my point to them, they “barked” back at me saying…

“I’m just sharing what I know…”

Fine… It’s the freedom of blogging…

I completely agree pangeran. i hate reading mmo blogs telling me what to do and how to earn and then ending up looking at their income report, $10 for a particular month. DUH?

the problem with other MMO bloggers, they preaching about making money online. But they earn nothing for themselves.

Some MMO blogs are really a pretense and are offering advice on things they don’t know.

Others are experienced Internet Marketers who have been successful and then started to teach.

In between, you have people who are learning and sharing what they learn and their progress. They share the mistakes they made, the successes they have. They share their experiences with different products and services and what they find workable for them.

I think the last two types of blogs can both be useful. In fact, if you only would visit blogs of successful entrepreneurs, you might miss out on some grass-roots viewpoints and experiences that you can also learn from. And there are points that successful Internet Marketers might overlook as they seem too obvious.

Hello!

I am one of those guys who makes money online and I think it is great that you are going to write about it. It was the whole reason that I started my Blog. I was getting so many people asking me HOW I did it, so I created a generic Blog so that I could pass on my marketing knowledge, which odly enough is pretty basic.

The thing about the internet is that there are SO many ways to make money online, and I work with several different companies, but what I find to be true is that no matter what you find, if you stick with it and you focus on ONE maybe TWO different things MAX you can find success easier.

Where I see people really fail is when they are involved with 20 different programs and are not making any money at all, when if they would focus on 1 or 2, they could at least make enough to stay home from a “JOB”.

That was my whole goal! Just initially make enough to come home full time and well, I have done that and now my goal is to make enough to move to Portland with my brothers and buy a nice home outside of the city.

If you have the desire..and you can commit you CAN make money online!

I am anxious to read your posts and see what you are suggesting! ;)

Have a great week everyone!

@Rajaie Yeah, I’m only able to pump them out that fast because it’s currently summer vacation, so no school or work to clutter my time :) .

Starting a MMO blog may not be the best course of action for a newbie. There are tons of abandoned blogs I know about from people who just quit. It seems fun at first but when the money doesn’t come rolling in it is hard to stay motivated.

I agree with you ChiQ. It’s not easy to build and generate money from MMO blog. It takes a lot of courage and determination to get your first “Huge” income. I’ve been working on it and i’m glad that you made this kind of exciting topics about MMO. I’ll keep following on this. Thanks!

Though I’m not blogging for money, I do understand that it’s easier to make money off the blog by providing a service than private ads or adsense.

I don’t want to even think about MMO now. Not making it, and obviously not telling some other person how to make it. I will be patient a bit for my blog to mature.

I have started my blog just four months ago. I’ve started building links and provide copyscape free content almost weekly thrice. So Google rewarded me a PR of three. Now I am concentrating on affiliate marketing with Neverblue ads, commission junction, clickbank, project wonderful, performance ads etc. Hope I am in right path to make money online. PATIENCE is the keyword for success in make money online. Am I correct?

Yes – Making money online niche is one of the most competitive.

I think this is because there is so much information around.

Most of it though is the same !

I’m looking forward to that – though it’s pretty cut and dry – write good content, network w/bloggers, put up some affiliate links or ads, make money. Except it’s not that easy, lol.

MMO blogs are flooding the market, and if we spend our time reading all of them, we have very little time for ourselves.

Just take note of a few tips (there are plenty here) and get to working.
