You\u2019ve seen and read countless success stories of people who make money by blogging. Yes, blogging can make you money and John Chow<\/a> is a living witness.<\/p>\n

However, generating income as a blogger seems like a day-dream to some folks. Is it really true or some sorts of hype?<\/p>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve realized what it takes to earn a good living online, either as a blogger or an affiliate marketer.<\/a><\/p>\n

It takes more than writing articles, blog posts and guest posts. It takes guts and hard work. If your blog is not earning at last $1000, see if these 4 reasons<\/strong> would resonate with you.<\/p>\n

I wrote this article to help you change your focus and earn what you\u2019re worth. Let\u2019s go for a catch.<\/p>\n

Sure, if you\u2019ve weird expectations for your online business, you won\u2019t go that far in achieving your goals. When I started blogging<\/a>, my goal was to earn $3,000 every month. Guess what, I didn\u2019t have a realistic plan to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Such is a weird expectation. When you\u2019re always thinking about making money, by any means possible, it\u2019s a weird expectation \u2013 it\u2019s not realistic. Stop right there!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got to change your thinking. This has a lot to do with your inner being and what you propose in your heart. The right time to erase the Dollar Sign ($) in your mind is now.<\/p>\n

Of course, a time would come when earning $3,000 becomes second nature to you, but it takes hard work, zeal and proven business model.<\/p>\n

Find out what other people need and keep providing the right answers. Basically, don\u2019t expect to earn so much from your blog at the initial stage. Otherwise, you may end up earning less than you expect.<\/p>\n

Do you still wake up by 10.00am and expect to make a lot of money from your blog? Well, for some people who have established blogs and everything run on autopilot, it\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re like me (intermediate), you\u2019ve to spend hours writing, promoting, networking and participating with others.<\/p>\n

I was overwhelmed to know that John Chow has been posting daily on this blog since 2008.<\/p>\n

If he doesn\u2019t have the time to update daily, at least he ensures his readers have new and insightful contents every time.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not surprised that he\u2019s such a success. Hard work pays off mightily.<\/p>\n

One of my affiliate mentors, Ewen Chia is also a hardworking fellow.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t turn a Super Affiliate overnight. He works tirelessly from 11.00pm \u2013 3.00am every day for 3 years.<\/p>\n

A few years ago, he generated over $100K in 3 days from his product and affiliate sales<\/a>. Again, hard work truly pays. Stop wishing, start working hard today.<\/p>\n

Are you using strength or strategy?<\/p>\n

This is very important. A lot of bloggers think that updating their blogs everyday is a great strategy. Is it?<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is: there are two sides to this. If the daily content is informative and truly helpful, then it\u2019s a great decision. But if you don\u2019t have something cute to tell your readers on a daily basis, why post daily?<\/p>\n

Churning articles just to meet up with 600+ words count means you\u2019re using strength. Such action can\u2019t yield significant results.<\/p>\n

A blogger friend of mine had written & published over 200 guest posts, but his blog is still struggling to gain traffic and he\u2019s broke. Whereas, I wrote my first 10 guest posts and got hired by 3 high paying clients. What\u2019s the difference?<\/p>\n

I used strategy, while my friend used strength. Blogging success doesn\u2019t depend on the quantity of articles you\u2019ve and published, but it depends 100% on the quality and marketing. Stop using strength, focus on proven strategies and you\u2019ll win.<\/p>\n

The web is primarily powered by email and social media.<\/p>\n

So many bloggers give more attention to Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and LinkedIn<\/a>. You should realize that email is the BEST<\/strong> marketing medium for your blog?<\/p>\n

I know you\u2019ve a Facebook<\/a> page and Twitter<\/a> handle. My question is: how much income do you earn from using these platforms?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong, social media is cute, I love to tweet and share with my fans but I give more attention to growing my email list.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe money is in the list.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truth be told, the money is not actually in the list, but in the relationship you\u2019ve built over time with your subscribers. How do you retain and engage targeted readers when they\u2019re not on your email list?<\/p>\n

Apart from selling to your subscribers, you could get business and product ideas from them. If you GIVE<\/strong> generously to your subscribers, they can promote you to the world without asking for rewards. Yes, email marketing<\/a> is that powerful!<\/p>\n

Waiting for the Sky to turn blue could be dangerous to your business. Plunge in and start building your email list today. Begin to communicate with your target audience. That\u2019s where your long-term success lies.<\/p>\n

What other reason is stopping you from making at least $1000 every month from your blog? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below. See you at the top!<\/p>\n
