How Money Is REALLY Made With Your Blog? [#6]

16 | Posted In Videos by David

Most new bloggers who have desires to make money doing it think of doing it as follows:

Write a lot, attract readers, make money through ads.

This approach inevitably leads to frustration because it takes SO LONG. You need a LOT of traffic to make decent money through ads and the simple reality is that it takes awhile to do that unless you have something else to leverage in the beginning.

The way to a REAL full-time income with your blog is SELLING. In this video, I explain my position.

    thank you for this. This is valuable information. I am a self-leadership coach. I have been doing this for three years. However, I have been an attorney for 18 years and I am switching from a bricks and mortar presence to an internet presence and this is the missing link for me. Now I get to produce products about self leadership and sell them. Thanks

    That is an excellent video! I have to admit that I guilty myself doing that same thing of just publishing for the sake of publishing without thinking long term of what I am selling.

    Now I have to go sit in the hot tub and plot what I can market to my meager (but growing) number of readers.

    What you shared on this video is really great and something that many starting bloggers should know about.

    I agree with creating your own product to sell and earning commissions through promoting affiliate products as 2 ways you can make money online.

    You might find this also interesting but it also has the same concept.

    This is an excellent video that cuts through a lot of myths about making Internet Dollars. David is absolutely right. You must adopt the mindset that your Blogging business is a “sales Business” IF you want to make the Internet dollars you’re desiring. This of course assumes that that is what you’re trying to do as all Bloggers are not Blogging as a full time career.

    Great stuff David!
