Just the name of the game I guess. The reality is that making money online requires the same thought processes as any other beginning business.

That's exactly it. I guess people are taking shortcuts, trying to earn quick money. There is still a lot of missconception about making money online. It takes a lot of work for it to start coming in. Nice blog by the way, I will take the time and skim through it entirely. “You get out what you put in…” – Well said! That’s exactly it.

They typically ask for blog critiques or something of that nature to try to get a few clicks and subscribers before they have actually done anything. With forums...you get out what you put in...and some people still don't get that. I know exactly what you mean.

I have thought about it a lot and for me, a community around my blog would be a great goal. That could eventually evolve into a nicely moderated forum where people would share ideas. I've been to a few of those kinds of forums that evolved from a How-to website or a blog and they seem pretty nice. Only thing I don't like is people registering on those forums just to post their blog link to get a few clicks ... that's just pathetic, not contributing to the community and trying to get the max out of it.Nice post anyway! :) Hmm, interesting blog post.

Most bloggers that want to earn income from their blogging never make that first step to treating their blog like a business. Long term goals are necessary for sustained growth.

Far too many bloggers don't treat their blogs as a business in the first place. I would go a step further and say that every single post a blogger publishes should be considered for it's long term value to their "company" (even if your "company" is simply you as an individual).Like many large businesses, I even try to calculate the value of every post I make and determine how much it will add to my bottom line on an annual basis.Found your blog from your comment on Yaro's blog.
