Blogging can sometimes be a thankless task, as you start out and check your stats..Nothing or little traffic. You start to think to yourself, why am i doing this..

It takes alot of hard work and effort to get a great blog with plenty of interested visitors returning to it. You need to provide great information and value to your visitors. However as i said sometimes it feels like nobody is listening.

It is a must to put the work in and keep posting and working on your blog. The work will eventually pay off to those who stick at it.

I’m writing regularly and being consistent with my strategies as you mention in your blueprint.

I know I have what it takes. I know I’ll succeed. Now it’s just a little time and regular effort to get to my goal of £10,000 profit per month.

Thanks again and congrats on your success as well! You deserve it!

Hi Derek,
I think that’s a generalization.

Because even if you’re a no-name blogger, but if you’re managing a personal network of 20-30 blogs with each generating (on a worst case scenario) $5-10 each, you’re looking at $100 to $300 each day.

With a possible ceiling of $9000 a month, that’s nothing to sneeze at.

The problem is that most people think that they need to earn their income with just ONE blog. That’s akin to going into battle with one bullet.

Instead, I’d advise anyone looking at blogging as a sustainable income generator to look at alternatives.

I’ve spent about $400 setting up my blog. It’s generated about $7000 net profit in 4 months. It’s not the greatest, but then again, the potential for massive scalability is there.

I would have to agree with what you say. My blog, focusing on leadership, is aimed at passing my knowledge onto others. If I make a few bucks on the side, great.

Blogging is not a sustainable business model.

I started blogging about personal finance just a few months ago and I’ve already connected with tons of people in my niche, learned a lot more about personal finance than I knew before, and come up with some (hopefully) promising business ideas.

I’d say for the average blogger, the blog is not the destination but rather the journey.

I don’t mean to steal your thunder, but it seems like it’s headed towards creating a system to conceptualize, plan and execute blogging in a systematic fashion.

I see many casual bloggers going about things in a hoi polloi fashion only to crash and burn soon after.

Surprisingly, too many people don’t understand that 90% (I’m more of a 90/10 than a Pareto fan) of your success can be forecast or predetermined even before you publish your first post.

Looking forward to the rest of your series.
