Easy Money Zine

There are a lot of people in the blogosphere who want you to believe that it is almost impossible to make money from a blog, probably because they aren’t making hardly any money at all.

I am here to tell you though that it is possible and that in fact, it isn’t even that hard.

I would also say that it is possible for anyone to make money from a blog (I have seen people from many countries, of most ages - from children to elderly people - male and female, able bodied to people with a variety of physical hardships and people of different education and social levels make a go of blogging for an income).

It is very well possible but the reality is that most who try don’t make a lot of money.

The reasons why many who try don´t make much money blogging are many but here are 10 reasons that come to mind:

1. Not enough time - it is hard work and takes time on an ongoing (daily ideally) basis.
2. Giving Up too quickly - most successful blogs don’t hit their strides till they are at least 12 months old, but that does not mean your blog can´t make money starting the first month.
3. Non commercial Topic - some topics are easier than others to find significant income streams for.
4. Lack of writing skills - like it or not, blogging is a written form and unless you are able to write (or rewrite, or pay others to write for you) you’ll almost always struggle.
5. Breaking the Rules - some bloggers get greedy and break the rules, either of the ad programs they use or the unwritten rules of blogging.
6. Distractions for the core functions of a blog - many get caught up in one of the many distractions that challenge bloggers and forget to concentrate on their actual writing of quality content.
7. Unluckiness - sometimes a blog´s success hinges on a lucky moment - miss it or fail to take the opportunities that come and you might miss significant rewards.
8. Taking Readers for Granted - I have seen a couple of blogs over the last year or so that fell over because the blogger became so self absorbed that they forgot that a blog rises and falls upon whether it´s  readers find the blog useful to them.
9. Spreading yourself too thinly - many bloggers have the gift of being visionaries (a good thing) but fail to have the gift of realism. The result is that many start things that they have no way of seeing through or spread themselves across too many projects too quickly and by doing this, ensuring themselves of failure.
10. Lack of Focus - hyperactive bloggers who flit from one unfinished project or idea to another without seeing anything through tend to fail to build sustainable blogs.

Even as I write this list I realize that some of the above factors (and others that continue to come to mind even now) are within the blogger´s  grasp and some are not. Like any business there are both internal and external threats and risks - blogging for money is no different.

So let´s face it, anyone can make money through blogging. Fact remains that only a few actually do, because they are the ones determined to make it work and don´t mind putting in the elbowgrease it takes to build links and content continuosly.
