I don’t like the title of this post. It has way too many words, but what the hell, I’ll cut it down with a Custom Title Tag and just call it Blog About Making Money Online to please big Daddy. A topic that has been written million times over, I still find it strange the misconception of bloggers who thinks that to make money online, they must be blogging about making money online.
It is not to say that MMO blogs do not make money. They do, but first you have to brand yourself to the status equivalent of a dot com mogul or at least if not as famous, have people believing in what you say. To have people actually believing in what you say, you must have something others do not process. Be it the charisma, the confidence or simply the god given gift of gab, or in this case the gift or words. You should possess the ability to convince the birds perching on the tree to come down and feed from your palms.
But then, thinking back, if you have that kind of ability, you do not need to be blogging at all, do you?
So then, why do people who wants to make money online blogs about making money online. Tell you why. It is a glamorous topic. If they can talk about your money making prowess in the Net, and people believe them, they attain a certain level of ‘fame’ among their circle. It gives their ego a much needed kick. It does not matter even if they are making peanuts from their blog that is suppose to teach people to make money. There are plenty of tips to write about and people do not mind reading the same old tales over and over again.
There’s another very strange phenomena among MMO bog readers. Not even 1 percent dares disagree with those repeated tips and tell the blogger outright that 9 out of those 10 tips do not work. None dare to ask the blogger to show some solid prove of their earnings to prove what they have been teaching is actually working for them. 99 percent of the commenters will be patronizing the blogger by saying something nice like, ‘Good Tips, I will try them out”.
I will bet my bulging belly that no one is going to try it like they say because one, they have read those tips a zillion times and maybe two, they have already tried it and they know it doesn’t work. But still, they will make a very ‘encouraging’ comment. Why?
I think I know why. All their commenters comes from the same clique or community if you want to make it sound better. They are all MMO bloggers and MMO bloggers wannabes. They do not want to risk their reputation by contradicting because they are all writing the same things!
OMFG! Ha Ha..and another Ha. Glory to my gout infected big toe, the mystery is finally solved! I am a genius!
Anyway, on a more serious note, real money makers seldom like to blog about making money. A guy with 100 Adsense blogs making him $100,000 monthly will not blog about how he is doing it it. A guy with 200 sites promoting 200 affiliate products which makes him $200,000 monthly will not boast about it.
The only guy who blogs about making money is the guy who is trying desperately trying to sell you something and that something will always be something that will supposedly make you money, tons of money.
if only these so-called money online making moguls could only show us their income tax return forms! if not, i still dare to put my whatever head on the chopping board.
HA… I bet you’re right. However, I want to blog about making money online and keep it free for one reason. To remain unbiased to any “system” and give people the truth. To many scammers out there, stealing from good intentioned people have angered me to no end. My blog is where I take a stand against the junk and give information people can use. If we stand for nothing, we’ll fall for anything.
Totally agree with you, i’m a spanish native speaker and the “MMO niche” is full of wanna be bloggers, i bet 99% of those guys haven’t even tried what they write about … and as you pointed out, they compliment each other’s blogs posts ha!
