Blogging…finding the time…where’s the money
Hi to all!
Personal:
As usual, I am delinquent in posting to my blog. Life has been full. My 5-1/2 year old daughter started Kindergarten this week and my 23 month old son has already started the “terrible twos” and I mean “TERRIBLE TWOS”.
On point:
So many distractions - so little time to post to my blog.
I know - who cares?
I agree - why should you care.
Well maybe you are like the thousands of people trying to “monetize” their blog.
It was something I thought about at one time - you know, post to my blog and ”monetize” the traffic.
Trying to make “a few dollars” in between doing the things that actually make me “real money and income” - such as product development, marketing my products and marketing affiliate products.
So because I am so busy doing what I do to make “income”, my question to all the people who claim to be “blogging for $$” is…
“Where do you find the time to blog”?
And…
“are you really making $$ and I mean not just a hundred dollars a month or a year”?
*****
Do I sound a little “bitter?”
Not really but I am interested and concerned.
I am interested in opportunity and if blogging can really make money in relationship to the time and costs associated with running the blog, maybe I will re-evaluate my position.
I am like many IMs — I am “opted in” to many lists and receive a “ream” of email everyday promoting one or another money making program.
I am concerned because the reality is most of these programs only serve to make the person selling the info money - not the buyer.

Recently, I have been receiving a few emails regarding making money blogging - a concept that I thought had been “burned out” already.
But, it did get me to make a post to my blog : )
So if you are trying to make money with your blog…
- tell all of us where do you find the time
- are you full-time or a part-time blogger
- and are you making a “real income.”
We don’t need to know the specifics about your $$ just the truth…
is blogging for dollars dead or a viable means of creating income for someone willing to put in the time and effort.
I had made up my mind because of time and I didn’t know anyone personally who could show me the $$ they made from blogging.
But with the new batch of emails I have been getting about blogging for money, my interest has been piqued.
I am open to exploring it if I can hire out someone to run a blog and only if the money is there.
So “show me the money”
Thanks for your ear,
Chuck
