If the whole point in this is to make money, it seems the issue of “how you’re doing it” is neglected … even prostitution is a way to make money, but many don’t do it …

Ah yes the harsh reality of trying to make money on the internet. I think it comes down to several things inccluding what was mentioned above: the “drive/hard work factor”, a good dose of creativity, perseverance, and the ability to be constantly learning and tweaking what you’re doing. The hard work factor and patience really play a big role in making any money online, it’s not going to be “easy” like e-books try to tell you.

The beautiful thing is there will always be those ready to tell people they can’t do something, when in fact they can if they use those concepts mentioned above wisely. Thanks for this post as it definitely will give people that necessary kick in the butt to really put in the work online if they want to make money

I don’t think it takes someone “special”, but talent always helps. The keys to making money online is just like making money anywhere else, hard work and knowledge. Most people philosophize about it WAY too much.

Hi Mark. My pleasure. I see a lot of the same stuff you’re describing and it’s good to take a step back and get a regular reality check. It’s exciting to hear about the big successes on the web, but also frustrating when we’re not making that ourselves.

Also, congratulations on getting married! Good luck to you!

thanks for the mention ray and even more for expounding on it,

I’m glad you didn’t find the video negative as it wasn’t meant to be, I was just seeing too much nonsense in my reader that day

it’s rough waters out there, most ships won’t make it to shore, fact of life.

thanks again,

mark

Hey Todd, making it through the first 12 months seems to be an important milestone for a lot of bloggers. Come to think of it, tomorrow will make one year for this blog. I can hardly believe it. Thanks for your comment!

Hi, Dong. That’s the cool part; making money from doing something you actually like to do. You have a great blog, so you’ll be making some money with it soon, I’m sure. Thanks for commenting!

Mark raised some interesting points. he does have alot of good points. It’s not easy making money online or getting your self started. you should keep a goal of at least one year. but if you really want to make it work then you have to try hard. I think if you have a passion. this will take you a long way. some original ideas I think will take you alot farther.

I think any money made from doing a hobby is great, and while my own blog is not even cash neutral, I look forward to day I can treat myself to something from earnings from my hobby…
