This was a really good post. I first started out as one of those people who thinks making money from blogging is easy. Boy was I wrong. The first thing you need to do is spend a lot of time building traffic. In terms of blogging, this can take a few months to a year. My blog is a little over a month old and I have gotten an alexa rank of around 1.1million. I know that with more work and patience I can easily bring this even lower. Keep up the great posts man.

I reckon its more stupid when people make blogs like Mr Chow and Mr Shoemoney and expect to get paid like them without the same traffic.

Thanks for this inspiring post Cow guy.

I started blogging in April and thought I would be able to make money quickly, obviously I quickly learned I was wrong but I did discover that I quite enjoyed blogging and the idea of living an online life to pay the bills is still very much my goal!

However I still have not made much money (about $20) but things are finally, slowly, shaping up and I can see income increasing slightly from now on.

Especially with the wise words I receive from this and many other blogs.

Some more good advice from the cow!

We just started a blog and totally understand that it is going to take time and good content before we start making the cash. That is OK with us as we are in it for the long haul and have a lot of good material to post!

You are really speaking from experience about making money with a blogger... At the initial stage of mine, I didn't really make any money. I simply just blog and play with my own domain name. An idea came along to do video reviews... And I got to review you cows and slowly, it simply expands out. Though I am not using any innovative idea to take an unfair step, I am working closely to build my reputation and blog up in the Internet world. In fact, I found myself having to review other people's websites and books in the form of sponsored posts. I think it's all worth it to work just one step at a time to get yourself up and running to become a full time blogger in the end...

I believe that once you are able to work full time, starting another blog is just a breeze since you know what to do to bring in the buck...

Thank you cows for giving me the chance to review you... I love cows who have milk for me! hehe

In my opinion, it takes at least 6 months for the big money to start rolling in....Offcourse, to get as big as John Chow and Darren Rowse it can take upto 2 years...
