Blogging is now considered a very serious business, ask Jide ogunsanya of ogbongeblog, who just got married recently. If you are familiar with linda ikeji, go ask her, she will tell you vividly that there is no atom of lie in what i just said (although subject to correction).
Top bloggers around the world are making good cash from this web business, which is called blogging or content marketing or otherwise affiliate marketing and guest bloggers.
For you to be able to calf a niche for yourself, you need to do the extra ordinary, this simply means you need to take a bold step and do things you’ve not done before on the internet. Johnchow of Johnchow.com and Zac Johnson of blogging.org are among my most adored mentor, although i am not an affiliate marketer/promoter, but the way and manner this guys are raking in millions on the internet is worth rethinking.
Thereafter you’re done. some even operate on blogspot.com, wordpress.com and lots more and expect to start making money within the next couple of months. Honestly its not done that way.
Blogging pays, but it takes time………………….
Practically speaking, with the above been said, do you really want to know why most bloggers dont make money online? Especially the new bloggers. Here is my 6 reasons why……….
1. FAST MONEY MENTALITY: I want to say without missing words that this constitute primarily the basic reason why newbie bloggers dont make money in this blogging course. The question you should ask yourself, is why i my blogging? (i.e why i my writing content and publishing? ) Do i love what am doing, or just to engage in it for the sake of making money like the top bloggers you read about and wants to replicate them in a couple of months. LOL….Its not done that way…
Blogging is not a fast or instant or if you like call it quick money scheme. Blogging takes time to yield. Its an investment that you need to nurture and pay more concentration to. practically you cannot start blogging and start receiving earnings within the first 5 months. Experimentally speaking, 6-12 months is the average month. some start making money after a year and most after two or three years, engrossed with series of hard-work and consistency.
if you just blog to make money, you will definately not make any money. If you look at most Nigerian blogs, over 80% are subsequent sales pages, just advertising series of items or products without good or readable content.
2.LACK OF CONSISTENCY: If you want to make it while blogging or in the internet, you need to be consistent. Remember, regular content posting and subsequent publishing will increase your Google and search engine ranking.
You must be consistent, with all the time you spend on Facebook updating your profile and other nonsense stuffs, generating money for Facebook, if you dedicate that time towards writing quality post for your blogs and maintaining high rate of consistency, success will be your best friend in the blogosphere.
3. LACK OF SKILLS TO SUCCEED: If you really want to succeed online as a content writer or blogger, you need certain blogging skills, like SEO skills and how to ensure that your content and images are well optimized for proper ranking. To make money online especially from Google Adsense, you need majority of your traffic directly from Google Search results. So, properly optimizing your blog can result in a positive outcome.

4. LACK OF QUALITY CONTENT PRODUCTION: Most new bloggers get so carried away by the successes of pro bloggers already existing online. This result in posting and subsequently publishing crab or low quality articles that attract zero level readers. Lack of quality content will make your readers never return back and decrease in traffic is certain. So engaging in publishing quality and informative article will help a lot.

5. COPY AND PASTE WORK: Copying and pasting fellow bloggers content is a big epidemic/problem/disease most new bloggers are facing today. If you really want to last long in the blogging world, you must disease from copying others people work and directly pasting in your blog. Although, getting write up inspirations can be a problem sometimes, but notwithstanding, if you really want to assemble other writers articles to make up yours, you really have to totally rewrite everything and make it pass copy scape. Copying and pasting will decrease your search engine ranking and twat your traffic effort. So avoid it…
6. CONNECT WITH FELLOW BLOGGERS: To grow in the blogging world, you have to connect with fellow bloggers within your niche or department/faculty. With the existence of facebook, Twitter, bloggers.ng, bloggershelpingbloggers and other social communities online, you can connect with ease with other bloggers in your niche of dominance. Try to remain active in these communities and see your traffic grow arithmetically and the traffic will be flowing to your blog, which obviously will help you in making more money with your blog.
