It is a very inspiring article. If we want to earn more than what we are expecting to achieve within the specified period, then a goal must be set up well. This would serve as a basis on how we will work forward.

The reality in business world is too tight due to profound competition. Bare in mind, that could be a hindrance to achieve your goal.. So we will earn more dollars or $50,000 is achievable enough.. Think positive.

To join the same business is not easy. With various blue prints nowadays, promising us to make money quickly is rampant. However, building the same business takes a lot of hardship before earning comes forward.

To all who wanted to join blogging and earn much, think it twice. It would be advantageous to work within your interest than thinking about the amount you will earn from blogging. Remember, hardship plus perseverance equivalent to earning.

The lesser interest you had the lesser quality you will generate. Blogging is good… but think it well!

Now, there is nothing wrong making money like this, everybody needs to make money, but maybe people doing this falls into the same category as certain tele-marketing people selling spaces in directories that only has a few visitors once in a while. Doing copy/paste all day will certainly also kill every new initiative.

i totally agree with you Darren. You have honestly narrated your past experience. I think you are right, quality matters more than quantity.Doing lots of blog can’t make money. Just concentrating quality time on few blogs can let us earn good money. But we have to keep patience. Patience is ultimate money.

Yes, how exactly can anyone come up with innovative ideas in 30 different areas week-in and week-out. A little diversity is good because you never know when you will hit a great niche, but going too far a field will kill your chances for success.

I’ve bought an assload of blogging and IMing products over the years and none of these have taught me anything that I haven’t learned by going out there and headbutting the poop out of the blogosphere.

hi great info keep up the good work here is something that put to work in what I do from day to day! There are several ways to market your network marketing business. Some of the most frequently chosen methods to market online are through online forums, blogging and article writing. Often, the reason why people choose network marketing is because finances are limited.

Hi Darren, great post! I totally agree that blogging is anything but easy, we can’t all be right up there with you as a ProBlogger after just a month or two. Give it time and stick to the key aspects you are trying to improve without trying to have all your fingers in different pies! Keep up the great work!

I think there is more to this than what any of us think we know, but, one thing I do know is that not everyone can be like Darren or any of the other big bloggers, and its stupid to think or let others think that anyone and everyone can be. Most of the bloggers who are big, didn’t get to where they are by just blogging for free. Most people don’t take the time and energy to do one blog right anyway, most people give up. I see no harm in multiple blogs as long as you aren’t creating spam.

@Maureen

I have to strongly disagree with you. In fact, my podcast that I posted today is on just what you said…

PodCast Marketing “Gurus”- The Method of Selling A Method

Maureen – I take your point, IF people do as some of these courses are teaching (not all, some do teach spam techniques) it is possible to make some money blogging. I guess the main issue I take with the way these things are sold is that they explicitly promise fast and big money. They give no indication that there’s work involved if you really want to build a big successful blog.

The b5media network is actually an interesting case in point. I’m no longer on the management (i’m just a shareholder) of it these days so can’t speak about day to day stuff or even recent experience but what I did learn in the years I was involved more intimately was that in the 350 or so blogs that we started it was the ones where bloggers put a lot of time and effort into personalize posting that seemed to build the bigger blogs while the bloggers who just were slapping up rehashed content from other places on the web that didn’t really get far.

In terms of whether I’m a friend of who I’m talking about – I’m sure I’m not. I’ve been interviewed by him on one occasion but have had no other real contact with him.

I do agree that at least the techniques here acknowledge links – they’re not ‘evil’ as such – but I guess I wrote this post because people have been asking me for my opinion on these types of systems. I tried to write this in an even handed way – simply to point out that the type of blogging that I’m into and that I and others have had success with is quite different to this.

The sales page of this product does not point this out – it points to blogs like Dooce and Mashable as examples of what blogs can achieve…. these blogs don’t use these techniques and I didn’t want my readers to believe that they can have these types of blogs using this type of technique.

Darren,

I have always thought you were smart, but here goes my BUT:

This is all your opinion. If you follow what is being taught, you have a much better chance of making some affiliate income faster…here is the big if: IF you do as they teach. They are NOT telling anyone or teaching anyone to spam! Its quite the opposite, but because you didn’t look into this further you really don’t know what you are talking about.

You are a purist, and we all get it….you always have had that mindset, but, what do you call the B5 Media network?

Your post here is not original…you can say it is because you wrote it, but the idea came to you from somewhere else. You even quoted some of their info…

You are even a friend (if one can call you that now) of who you are talking about, yet here you are bashing them. Maybe a quick call or email to one of them would have cleared this all up before you threw them under the bus. Just another reason why you may be smart….but sometimes you really can be stupid and rude.

I get it when people are upset for others using their work, but if they mention you and link to you…BE GREATFUL, the real spammers WON’T do that!

I would add that “bouncing off” another blogger’s post is especially wrong. Building upon someone else’s work without linking to the source is insidious because it attempts to cover it up. It’s called plagiarism.

Thanks for the wake-up call Darren!

I’ve just started my “serious blog” this month and have a lot to say from personal experience and work in the field. It is hard work and a pleasure at the same time. It will never be boring when you’re expressing your own life observations and experiences.

I was caught up in these make money fast sales pitches also because I did need money fast.

All those sites did was take the little money I needed to pay bills with. I just like to think that people can be trusted but have learned that the trust must be earned.

It seems fraud has become the way of the future for many business entities and we need more people like you to get us to put on our aware caps.

I’m now writing my own original posts and it really is a lot of work but is much more rewarding and never boring when you have a real message of truth to deliver!

Thanks for having one of the many hard to find honest blogs!

May the blessings be,

Andrew

You’ve hit the nail on the head. You spread yourself too thin and you have lots, but no quality.

When will the so called ‘gurus’ stop lying to unsuspecting newbies around the world?
While putting up the sales letter, right in their mind, they know what they are about to sell will not produce results as quickly as they are painting the picture.

I am very sure the word ‘conciense’ means nothing to these people.

@Rich-
My next PodCast is titled “The Method of Selling the Method.”
You hit the nail on the head. Most of the money being made is not in “pink dog collars” or “Halloween costumes” but in continuing to sell the “magic” method on, and on and on…

I will say this though: If a person wanted to spend $100.00 on one of these methods, there is useful information. Just not about getting rich fast and easy. :-)
Peace
