The Honest Truth About Making Money Blogging

written by John Chow on January 18, 2010

Make Money!

Is it possible to make good money as a blogger? Many think it is impossible but I know that is not the case. My friend David Risley has put out a new video today that clearly explains why some bloggers make a ton of money while others make nothing.

David is a pro-blogger who has been making a six-figure income at it since 2004. Like me, David started with a technology blog and expanded from there. He knows his stuff, and he doesn’t beat around the bush as to how to do it. In his Wealth Gap video, David talks about things like:

  • Why do SOME people make good money while many others don’t?
  • Do marketers make more money because they are scammers?
  • How can you turn your blog into a funnel which generates an income?
  • What is the blunt, honest truth about the business of blogging? (or any business for that matter)

I think you’ll like it. No opt-in is required to view the video. Just click the play button and enjoy.

David is a someone I look up too as a blogger, because he made his money blogging long before he joined the ‘make money blogging’ scene!

He is implying that you can learn that for free if you will search for it.

That was a pretty well put together video. I am pleased to see that David addressed the bloggers selling dreams and that making money blogging truly does take sweat equity.

I see where the funnel method can work and will start implementing that into my blogging strategy.

I am willing to learn all there is to know. Some things will work and some won’t for me, but at least with videos and tutorials such as this I can gai all the knowledge I need to make an informed desicion on what works for me.

Hi John I do make money by selling products and services. I use blog as communication channel which pre-sells affiliate programs like yours. So I don’t often write articles myself but syndicate articles from other bloggers.

Even if I don’t watch a video, I still believe that making money with blogs is real because even John Chow and the likes are my witnesses and mentors.
