My apologies for the “cluttered” look of this blog. Could’ve been worse had it not for the excellent template this blog is based on.
As you can see I’ve included Amazon ads here, Adsense ads there and a blog hosting ads on the right sidebar and god knows what else tomorrow brings. In fact, I’d planned to implement one or two more features in this blog just to see what will happen.
I want satisfy my curiosity about the potential of blogging as a money-making tool. I’m not aiming for any amount, but rather to satisfy my cat-killing curiosity if it can really be done.
I’ve read numerous instances of people earning a decent income from their blogs. The closest to home is a guy who introduce himself only as Gaman. In one of his entry, he shared with his readers a mouth-watering piece of information — that he earns a five-figure income a month by engaging in blogging activities and online marketing.
Even though the five-figure money he quoted in his blog was in Malaysian Ringgit (US$1 = RM3.45), that figure is indeed a very high amount. Again, my “very high” could be “moderately low” to you, but the point is it’s a decent amount money.
The last time I read, he now wants the five-figure monthly income to be in US$.
I don’t want to know how he plans to achieve the US$10,0oo-a-month milestone. What I do want to know is whether I can make a moderately decent amount income.
Recently, I read about this guy, John Chow, who lives in Canada but makes an average of US$12,000 a month from his online activities. Well, I don’t mind earning US$12,000 a year but I guess, that is still a distant light-years away.
I say, “Chase the dream or at least learn how to chase the dream”.
Obviously, there is no better way to learn the rope other than actually holding it hands-on.
Hence, this blog. So, finally, after a prolonged and agonising indecisiveness, here’s the blog, a tiny voice trying to make a presence in the crowded cyberspace.
I’m not sure if what I’ve done so far is the right way to achieve the dream. Maybe in a few more months I should see the clearer picture of how to move this blog forward.
