Can make money from blogging ah?

My auntie suddenly asked this question during our visit to my late Grandpa’s graveyard,”Blogging is profitable, is it?”. In other words, she is asking if one can make money via blogging. Oh well, so the buzz of make-money-online-with-your-blog has finally reached her. lol.

The next question that she asked was,”How can one make money from blogging?”. I couldn’t find a short answer hence I only said,”There is alot of way…”. Before I continue by mentioning the making-money-list, my Dad cut me and said,”Eh wait, you know that famous lawyer *insert name*, people consults to him also need to pay money okay? So, let’s go to Benteng (a famous and expensive restaurant in town) and have a dinner while talking over it.”

Next, I became more speechless when the daughter (my cousin) asked about domain, what’s the difference between free and paid hosting, how to make a website, and so on. I didn’t know where should I start explaining. I also didn’t know how to put my understanding into words and explained it to her. Otherwise, I could become a teacher or lecturer already today. But I don’t, cause I s*ck at explaining/teaching. :P

So, if you have a question about Executive Search company, don’t ask me but the expert like Dennis Carey. Famous for his professional expertise on executive search companies, Dennis Carey is the expert when it comes to finding the best managers for your company. Know more about Dennis Carey’s books here.

Now, where are we? Oh, back to make money online with blogging. So, my cousin has started to blog. And, my brother was asked this question,”Why don’t you go for blogging too? You can EASILY earn money from it you know?”.

Gosh, if it is really that easy to make money from blogging, then everyone will go for it. *sarcastic mode on* No one will scare of losing their job because of recession, cause they can easily make money from blogging. All they need is just a computer, internet, domain and hosting (or free hosting).

Sigh.

      LOL… Yea, but it wasn’t easy in the beginning and most of the ppl thought money will roll in as soon as one start blogging. :P

  2. I know how you feel about answering questions like that. Some people think it takes 2-3 minutes and you make thousands and thousands of dollars.

    I have told people that it takes time and patience but If you are dedicated then it will eventually pay off.

      Ey, cannot be humorous abit ah? It is meant to be a joke la. Chew… Cause that is what I told him when somebody consulted to him about a case. I mean, when you go to clinic/doctor for consultation only, you will be charged too right? So, that’s it, nothing should be free right now. Except air maybe. :P *lui bin mode on*

  4. I’ve been getting these questions from my friends very often lately :D (since some of them have realized that I have a blog and it seems “profitable” by looking from my income statistics every month)

    It excites them a lot, but they never realize that making that few dollars a day will be gone just like that when I go for a nice dinner in a restaurant :(
