I want to make big money like this guy made 2 million - is it possible blogging?

Yes it's possible but that guy writes in the finance niche and he writes well. You have to make sure your niche pays well and you need to write your ass off.

But yes it can be done. Don't forget this took him 12 years to earn - that's 15K a month average.

And you should find a good blogger to learn from - these days I suggest Neil Patel - he is a master internet marketer and bloggoer

But can you answer my question on when he started? Do you think a newbie like me could make a full time living with Internet marketing or is the market just too crowded now??

It's not a 'story' - it's a sales page. The site is 2 years old and is selling debt consolidation. There are NO names associated with the site that I could find - no expert with degrees or experience - but the site claims "Dave Ramsey is wrong about debt".

Did you fill out the questionnaires and send your bank name, your income, your list of debts and who they are owed to ....to a total stranger online?

Do you believe he didn't know his earnings for 12 years and was shocked??? Ever hear of the IRS? You know what your income is.

How could anyone here guess whether you can make money online or not? You haven't listed any experience or training or skills or goals or niches - just a desire to earn big bucks.

The internet is not too crowded - but you have to earn your money working online just as you do working offline.

Thsk for comments everyone I couldn't tell this was a promotional type article. I didn't see any ads at all on there.

So do think I should maybe try the finance niche if it pays out a lot?

Yes Paul it is possible.

But one problem exists that will make this story impossible for you to live: the bloggers who make millions almost always pick a driver different than money. They blog to make a difference. They blog to serve. Money is like 1/100th of why they blog. Seriously.

Then, as they devote 99% of their energies to giving the money flows in. Millions, or whatever. But they are not desperate to make money. They are focused on helping people, learning their craft, serving, staying up until 2 AM to write the latest post or to guest post or to help folks on Warrior or to respond to email or to comment on blogs. They stay up late and wake early for months, when they happen to be making zero dollars online.

Most folks use money as a driver then, when the zero figure stares at them over weeks, and months, they quit. Tough to make millions when you devote more than a few % of your energy to making money. But when you focus on serving, you make hundreds, then thousands, and you set the framework for building a profitable blog, which can set you up for something really special.

Yes it is possible to make money but as already advised your motivation needs to be more than money, if your drive is money it will come across in your message and that will drive people away.

You need to pick something you are passionate about and find what problems people are having within that niche and write about that, that will get people to read and as long as you have something valuable to give away as a lead magnet, you could get a high op-tin rate.

Everything you do is all about providing value, people will not buy from you unless they are getting value so make this your main focus and the money will soon follow.

My advice is look up a guy named Ray Higdon, he started his business blogging and he's one f the most successful bloggers out there.

All the best but most important thing is provide value, don't be in a rush to make money, that will come as long as you serve the people in your market.

No, there is nothing with it.

But you need a group of people who like you, listen to you, supported you and most importantly TRUSTED you so that they will buy whatever you recommend.

If you look at all the successful gurus like Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Eben Pagan and Mike Filsaime, they all have groups of people they can inspire and recommend their products and services -

As well as people they listened and learn from.

Secondly, your product or service needs to be of great value to most people whom you have in your group.

It can be an internet marketing course, coaching or DFY or Done-For-You Services.

Most people - including me when I got started - ONLY think of making $.

Without realizing that in order to make that $, they need to learn how to give and deliver value to one another first.

Before earning the right to whatever amount they can dream of.

Yes you can make money from blogging . But its possible only when you add unique content and according to the screening Nowdays.

I remember a while back, Perry Belcher from Digital Marketer asked an audience how much they though an average blogger made per day and gave them a choice of dollar values to choose. They were all wrong and he went on to say that the average blogger makes about $3 per day.

If you want to make money online, learn how to cost effectively drive traffic / build email lists. Because it makes no difference what you are promoting, without traffic you are never going to make any money.

I get the pick what you are passionate about as far as what your niche should be. However, you better make sure it is monetizable and you have a viable plan to do it. Also, there is nothing wrong with simply being passionate about marketing.

My preference is to promote PPL(pay per lead...lead generation) offers.This is because there is no credit card / purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to offers that require a sale to be made.

While that blog that you found was really just attempting to generate debt consolidation leads. It was a really poor example of how to do it and I can't imagine they are generating many leads.

The majority of people who earn a living online do not have a "tribe" of sycophants hanging on their every utterance. Nor do they want one.

The Internet is absolutely not too crowded for intelligent, creative, dedicated people to build profitable businesses fairly quickly.

The problem for me is people focusing on striking it rich straight away, listen.

The thing you do now will not be the thing that gets you to be a millionaire, it will merely be a stepping stone along the way.

Learn each lesson as it comes and embrace this new direction and go at it with everything you have because getting started will e the hardest thing.

Once you have done it consistently for a few weeks you will have momentum and can then perhaps reach out to people to do guest blogging to give you a bigger reach.

Neil Patel is definitely someone to follow, I had the pleasure of meeting Neil a couple of years ago and he is an amazing guy and really knows his stuff.

As mentioned before another good blogger to follow is Ray Higdon.

Good luck but most importantly, get started and keep moving, stay consistent and never lose faith.

You will get there.

What you need to do is strive hard and you can acheive it . Yeah people surely are earning millions through this

yes,
there are so many free blogs sites are available in google.

I disagree with the consensus that you need to love what you are blogging about. When I started I focused on the high paying niches ONLY because I was out to make money. Didn't care about being a guru or helpful at all.

I just wanted to work from home full time and would have blogged about tiddly winks if that is what paid the most. I blogged about motorcycle loans and insurance (still do). They both pay really well. Not because I like motorcycles, insurance, or finance. I couldn't care less about any of it.

But I loved typing on a keyboard, and I loved creative writing. Took typing and classes in high school. It was great being the only guy in the typing class. Better ratio ;-) They the old clackity clack electric typewriters. Hated them.

So I found ways to be creative when writing about BORING stuff that made the most money. One of our affiliate programs pays $20 anytime a visitor on our site fills in their email, name, and phone number. As a result we've had the biggest years of our Internet career. $220,000 last year, less this year. Always up and down.

And the boring subjects stopped being boring when the money started rolling in and eventually I learned to love writing on almost any subject as long as it paid.

And the master stroke for us was LONG TAIL. Without long tail we would have jack sh#t for income. So if you are going to blog make sure you do it on extremely lucrative niches and write long detailed posts on long tail targets. If you do that you don't need to beg for links or suck up to any gurus. Google will rank you - don't worry about it.

As far as links go - screw it. Just write bigly content, images, videos, etc., and make your links by linking your content from post to post. Yep - those are dofollow perfect links in your own text. Google gives your long form detailed posts a high score so when you link to your own internal pages that juice starts to add up. THEN others eventually start linking.

My motorcycle niche site has over 8000 links inbound now and I never begged for a single one of them. Lots of those links are crap but I never remove them. I just completely ignore linking.

Wow that's unreal thanks Terry for that was realluy helpful!

Lol at all the random stock photos on the OP link/blog.

Real convincing.

Unless you are, as Terry said, an expert in the financial topics your audience wants to learn, or you have the kind of zeal for creative approaches to boring topics that TZ has, you should probably avoid the "finance niche".

Go back up and read my first post again. Even the marketer you linked in your first post isn't in the so-called "finance niche" - he's in a subset or sub-niche of that, debt consolidation. A little research would probably reveal that he actually targets a subset of that niche.

Anyone else notice where he says the site has only been around since Dec 2015?

if you want to do well, write blog posts each day SEO it, but Seo is waist of time there days. PAID TRAFFIC is where its at.

If you do not have any funds, you can always do guest posts, drive traffic to your blog and at the end of your blog posts put in an optin form, so you are generically getting traffic and building a list at the same time.

That would mean

1) Your getitng sales from people hitting you from google.

2) You are getting sales from building your list.

And then when you are making money use 50% of that money and hire a team to leverage some of your work.

This is what I did, I went from $0 broke ass whitey, to making over $500 USD per day.

The clues are in what others who are successful do.

1) Make money

2) Use that money to make more money
.
3) go back and repeat steps 1 and 2 again.

The OP logged out 6 minutes after starting the thread - and hasn't logged back in since. Seems to happen a lot lately....

Maybe he'll be back later...or not.

This thread was started by a different forum name - you opened two accts the same day? Confusing - but I'm easily confused some days.

Because you can only have one acct

Mods fixed it for you - so it's all good.

Here is the real deal with blogging and other IM paths.

You are paid in direct proportion to the value you provide the people on your list.

Read that as many times as need be until it becomes part of you.

Build a blog, build a list and provide that audience real value.

When you do that, yes, it's possible.

I didn't say it would be easy. I said possible.

It is possible. If you can blog and write content you will not just make money on blogging but you can also make money on writing content. It is a skill you now. If you love what you do then money will surely follow.

Paul, I do have one blunt advice for you.

Don't just think of making money.

Think about what you can share and help others as well.

Because at the end of the day, you need to understand that people don't just buy from people.

They buy from those they can reasonate with or see a great value in the products and services offered to them.

I also blog.

But I never blog just to make money.

Or trying to model others I am not.

It does not work that way.

It never will.

What you need is to find out what you are good at and how you can help people based on that.

Try to get to know more people.

Not just online through forums and FB groups.

But offline as well through live events such as seminar previews and social networking in sites like Meetup.

Because it is through knowing and networking with more people in your niche, you get a much better understanding of what challenges they faced and how or what you can do to help them.

I think people need to stop thinking that blogging (in itself) is an effective medium.

Today, there is so much content that exists (just do a google search), that creating more has little effect.

You need to be able to drive traffic and offer actionable info over generic content.

Just my 2 cents.

Learn the skill of blogging and set your goals a bit lower to begin with, then move up in increments. You don't have to earn millions to be a success, just try to earn a living.

money making is not about stratgies and techniches

its about your MENTALITY, if you can see it in your mind, you can hold the money in your hand.

95% of people cannot see it, and create it in your mind, so the rest never come. Plus taking action....no one does that these days. LOL....i mean....right??

Here is how to make money from a blog:

Set up your blog
Start creating useful content
Get off your blog and start finding readers
Build engagement with the readers that come
Start making money from the readership you have through one or more of a variety of income streams

Start a Blog

Something you know about, passionate about, something you care about, and something that people want! Don't make it to nichey..keep it simple but intresting.

Start Creating Useful Content

Focus on content that changes people's lives in some way, or gives them advice/help, people will like and trust you - which is really important if you later want to make money from your blog.

Find Readers

If you want to make money from your blog you need to to start promoting it. There are many ways to experiment with growing your blog's audience but it is important to enter into all these strategies remembering that you should not just be looking for 'traffic' but 'readers'.

Yes, you can make a lot of money with blogging but you need to write unique and fresh content very frequently which can attract users and so you will get more and more traffic and this way you will earn big money.

Write about things you are passionate about. Then you will be naturally good, and you will become famous and rich. Passion delivers amazing results. If you are forcing things, they don't last or work out at all. What are you passionate about?
