Very Professional written post by Alex, thanks for sharing such a vital information. I totally agree with your thought Hard Work Now Pays Off Eventually, every blogger needs to put in starting efforts and it will surely not go fail and eventually his or her blog starts becoming famous as time progresses.

Well, in some cases it could be true. You write great content consistently, you may get linked to. Of course, it doesn’t always work like that, and that saying proves to be true.

Wow, that’s a very good point you bring up there Jack. Not that i think about, blogging has improved me in many different aspects. My writing skills have improved, I have become more organized, and a lot of other things.

I've written a similar post to this couple days ago. Some of the people commented that, "what goes around comes around", but I simply told them that's not how it works. Never expect anyone to give back, and just help people just for the sake of helping them. Kai Lo’s last blog post..SEO Tool: Free Keyword Counter

So so true. However, you have to really think about what you want out of blogging. If you want a lot of money for a little work, blogging is definitely not for you. Blogging really does give though; it makes you a better writer, gives you life lessons, and much more. When you really sit back and look at what you have accomplished, you will find that you have received a lot. teenwebguru’s last blog post..Are You Obsessed?

I guess it's all about the way you "introduce" your monetizing system to your readers. Nicolas Prudhon’s last blog post..Isn’t the SEO on my site very bad!

That kind of sounds like Twitter, whenever the company tried to put up even the littlest ad, the community FREAKS out!

What some don't see is there is also the possibility of monetizing too late. If readers get too locked into to al the cool free stuff, some may rebel....whether they're right too or not. Dennis Edell’s last blog post..100 Marketers Give 100 Strategies - Recommended!

It's not just about how long you wait as an actual time factor I would say, but rather the size of your readership. Obviously the more you have readers, the more you can monetize; on the other hand, monetizing too early will shrink your readership... It takes time and hard work to build trust with your readers, and it's very easy to lose that trust... Nicolas Prudhon’s last blog post..Isn’t the SEO on my site very bad!

To be honest, when I first made the blog that was here before it was merged with another to create Blogussion, I expected a lot. At first, I would update the blog once every second day because I honestly didn’t see the point in posting every day when I was new because I wouldn’t get a lot of comments like I wanted. But I was wrong, and it wasn’t until after merging that blog with Janith’s that I understood that. I was just lucky I lasted so long without ditching, or I don’t think Blogussion would be here today.

I really don’t play on making any money from this blog until we are about a year or two old. I mean, that’s a long time from now. But I have other methods of making money at the moment away from this blog so I know the fact that I won’t make money here won’t drive me crazy financially.
