   This is a wealth of information at my fingertips! I like how you structured the links on this page in such an organized manner. I think that if you want to be a successful blogger you need to create multiple streams of income and not just depend on one to get you to the top.

   If you are new, obviously don’t try to fit all of these income streams in at one time. You should build on it and work on one at a time. Slowly build your income. Think of it in terms of a job. When you start out at a job you don’t usually start making the big bucks right away. After time and experience come into play, then you start making more and more money with raises and promotions. Now you can make a ton more money online than a typical job but it is the same concept!

   Thank you for this great resource!

   Talk about being detailed! I was glued to every word! I’m a new blogger and it’s a relief to see all these tips here because I’m gonna need them.

   I’m more of a personal blogger, because I love writing, but if I happen to make money in the process? Awesome!

   One thing I’m still confused about is email marketing. I can write the blog content no problem, but when it comes to list building (and writing an about page lol) I feel like a lost cause.

   Your post made me realize just how much I have to learn.

   People who start to blog always thing of making money which tends them toward failure. In my opinion bloggers should choose the topic which interests them. They don’t think about making money. It’s about knowledge, try to learn more and don’t think about money stuff. There are many top blog topics to make money online but you can get success only with the topic you like to write on. Try to choose your topic for the blog. Making money is very easy, don’t think about it much.

   My belief is that, your business = your niche. Many starters are entering online by picking up the most competitive niches, without a passion or vision for their niche.

   I saw a lot of affiliates who are starting with make money online, weight loss or dating niche, without a clue of what they are doing.

   They end up frustrated and confused, jumping from product to product. What I hate about those products is that they are teaching you the same thing written different.

   For 13 years I only see this system in any product that I bought:

   1. Get a squeeze page. 2. Drive traffic through ads 3.Get an autoresponder. 4. Collect leads. 5. Market to the leads. What I don’t see mentioned is “choosing your niche” the niche that you are passionate about.

   There is one more problem BIG in 2016. 99% of marketing emails are now going into the Offers tab in Gmail. People started to ignore that tab.

   I feel disgusted by the spammy way people are marketing these days.

   The conclusion? Build a site around a niche that you have a burn desire for (ex. Harry Potter’s Passive income Plan) a niche that comes to you as an idea, invent something no one else has and stop duplicating the same “gurus” methods over and over again.

   Thank you for your time, reading my comment!

    Great article here. I’ve been running my healthcare blog for a few months and have just recently started to spend more time on it (learning wordpress, marketing strategies, etc). I’m noway near earning anything from it yet but with effort and time, hope to establish myself as a leading pharmacy blogger.

    I’ll defiantly be implementing some of the information here. Many thanks!
