People start blogs for different reasons, some just for fun, some just because its the “cool” thing to do nowadays. Right now a lot of people are starting them just to try and make a quick buck. People hear about the blogs making $X,XXX-$XX,XXX a month just blogging, and they get excited and decide to jump in and try and do the same thing.It is true some people do make quite a bit of money every month with blogging take John Chow, John Cow, Shoemoney, ProBlogger and others, but don’t expect to go from 0 to the likes of one of them overnight. Does this sound like you? If that is you, you may want to rethink why it is you are actually blogging. Most blogs that the only reason the do it is to make money will simply fail, no ifs ands or buts about it.

Why is this you ask? Well, if your just in it for the money there is no passion in what you are writing about. You have to have a fire within to write good, informative content for your readers to read. If your eyes are just on the prize that may be at the end of the tunnel you are going to have a hard time getting through that tunnel with out tripping in the dark. You have to have the fire within to light the tunnel up and guide you. Now some of you are saying, but but money is what I am passionate about, that is what I want and love, that is why I blog because I want more of it, that is a little different. You still have to be passionate about what you are writing about or writing for.

When I first started this blog, I did so basically just as a motivational tool for myself and to keep track on some different websites that I have in production and that I already have up and somewhat running. Now you are saying but you have ads and are trying to make money from this site. Yes it is true that I have ads posted on the site, and if I make a few bucks that is great, but if not I’m cool with that as well. This blog is basically here for me to document how my Online ventures are going, the setbacks and the breakthroughs. Never know maybe one day this site itself will be a major breakthrough and become one of my biggest sites, only time will tell. Try and not let the $$$$ blind you, blogging is hard work if you want to make money at it, especially if you if you want to make a living at it.

So I challenge you to take a few minutes out of your busy day and really sit down and think about, why exactly do YOU blog. For money? for networking? for fun? to keep in touch with friends and family? Come on and tell me why YOU blog.
