But this is not the Main Point … Yet

Blogging is hard work that for sure. We write a pieces call Ultimate Way To Make Money Online With Blogging, and Michael Arrington from TechCrunch is just a great example for the ultimate way to make money online. Try to read this cover story by Wired Magazine.

Truly Micheal Arrington has the ultimate blogging power! Having all the entrepreneurs to show up at his door, day by day hoping to talk to him about their startup. Those who did and get their cover story at TechCrunch might get a call from a venture capital within 48 hours plus what truly amazing is … he make US200,000 a month from sponsor, advertising and more. Well, this is what we call ultimate blogging power! We get you excited, didn’t we?

The Main Point Is Successful Blogging Is Extremely Hard

But if you read the whole story, successful blogging is extremely hard and it’s will take time and energy to build. Like all successful people who rise to the top, it definitely demonstrates a simple truth: good bloggers work like shit!

First thing, you can’t expect people will read your stuff just overnight. So in that cover story, it’s mention that Arrington is at his desk, eat, sleep and drink with blogging. Well, he do take some time to go out for a while, but he is working 16 a day, seven day a week. After 2 years later, TechCrunch is THERE. We don’t suggest you do the same, but this is kind of work that you might be expect if you want to be like Arrington.

Okay, we don’t want to scare you. There are still thousand of people today who make about 5-6 figure incomes from their blog out of million blog out there. Steve Pavlina and Darren Rowse is one of the famous one, but really what percentage of blogger make this kind of money? Very few. One study result publish from problogger, the figure is 4 percent that make US100,000 annually. So it’s around 9,000 a month. If we try to make more sense out of that percentage, we still have thousand of blog making 9,000 a month out from millions of blog out there.

The Dip

So the key point is only small percentage of bloggers make “real” money blogging, most are just earning a pocket money if you are lucky.

So our question is are you good enough to be The One ( in the 4 percent ) that make “real” money in blogging. And you need to be The One if you really want to make money online. You need to work extra hard, go extra length, extremely focus, be FANCAP! Only working on something that you fear and hold on to it like no many people dare to hold on, then you can succeed, because, the rule is … only a few can succeed. Persistence and hard work always help.

This is what we call “What Everybody Ought to Know About Blogging For Money”, are you in the 4 percent or are you in the 96 percent? and do you know how to get to 4 percent is the question you need to ask yourself here. Or you just happy to be in the 96 percent? Darren, the problogger once mention that he know only a little bit about computer like checking email and surfing internet, if he can do it, so can you. But you need to get the “figure percentage” right:) And a lot of blogger(40%) are happy with earning couple hundred a month figure, still it’s not too bad.
