Bloggers Don’t Make Money Online

By now, many of you hapless bloggers are scrambling to find that magical key that will open door to all of those millions of dollars just waiting to be made online. Much of this information comes to you vis a vis the a-list bloggers who would love nothing more than to show you how to do it, ‘For A Small Fee’. Look, I’m not going to bullshit you, the fact is that you will never make money online by hanging out at the a-listers websites, and there’s a very real reason why this is so. A-Listers make money off of you, not off of their knowledge of SEO. Now that’s not to say that there aren’t A-List bloggers out there who feed you crap while wearing a very real blackhat, spinning, scraping and shoveling mountains of blogs with keyword intensive made for Google goodies, but I seriously doubt it.

Internet marketers make money on volume and A-listers make money on the unwary sheep that meander into those seemingly fertile pastures.

The first thing that you need to know if you want to make money online is that you need Google Search Engine traffic, there is no debating this point, because you either get Google Traffic or waste your life away following the herd into Social Traffic damnation. If you’ve been around long enough, you’ll know that social traffic is useless traffic and worse of all, it’s a lot of work chasing social traffic like Digg and all the others. If at any point in your blogging you start seeing the light and realize that Internet Marketing is where the money’s at, then you’ll soon realize that it’s all about quantity and not quality, so sorry to be the one telling you this.

If you want to make money online, you need to think in terms of volume, stop wasting your time creating the perfect blog in search of fame and fortune, because it won’t work. There is absolutely no money in blogging unless your plan is to lure sheep into your site and hit them upside the head with your e-book. But remember, there are millions of other A-list wannabees who are already much further down that ugly road to perdition than you are, and they are making very little from their misadventure.

The secret to making money online is Volume.

It’s all about numbers, Internet marketers are banking on small amounts of monies per blog times hundreds and even thousands. That’s it in a nutshell, you need to see your blog as a place where you can make 50 cents to 1 dollar per day and then quantify the hell out of it. And no, you don’t need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to do this, all you need is to go to places like blogger.com and start opening up free, keyword optimized blogs, and throw some links at them. If you do your research, starting by reviewing some of the tips that i’ve already outlined on this site, then you will be well on your way. The easiest way to generate quality links back to your site is by utilizing free resources available online like freetrafficsystem, one of the few too good to be true link building systems on the net that actually perform by giving you exactly what they offer, totally free backlinks with no strings attached.

The funny thing is that most of you will disregard everything i’ve written and head back over to Darren Rowse’s problogger or other useless places like that hoping to get a drop of that magic elixer that they’re offering over there. If you smarten up and stop listening to the A-List bloggers now, you will save yourself many months of pain, but as they say, we only learn from our mistakes and I’m sure you’re no different.

On the other hand, if you are serious about making money online, then wise up and stop checking your stats every 10 seconds, and get cracking on creating as many sites as possible. Hubpages has become a popular destination for the quick money, but you’ll need hundreds of hubpages. On the other hand, if you want to start cornering a number of solid keywords in a specific niche, then blogger.com is the place to do it. For those of you with some money to spend, consider hosting your own blogs, think add-on domains.

O.K, that’s it for today, I’ve given you enough good stuff in this post alone, and for those of you with some understanding of how Internet Marketing works, you’ll know what I speak, for the rest of you, stop wasting your time and run from the A-List websites like John Cow and company because contrary to what they tell you, they are not your friends.
