How to lose your money and your mind blogging?

As an avid reader of SEO and marketing content, it’s likely that you’ve already read many articles on how to make money blogging. There are thousands of them out there circling the Internet, like ravenous cyber wolves waiting to consume your blood and brain matter. No wonder you’re dizzy and lightheaded. Well, now that they’ve sucked the life from you, and you still don’t know squat about making money blogging. Let me help the wolves continue their romp of destruction by illustrating the best ways not to make money blogging.

• Buy articles or videos on how to make money blogging if you’ve already established a relationship with the site or author, have researched their credentials, and feel that their knowledge is worth the cost of your child’s college education.

• Create 100 websites (even two) simultaneously and register them with Network Solutions, an expensive web hosting behemoth that will control your wallet and your mind. For better web hosting prices, refer to the article, Best 10 Web Hosting Sites listed at webhostingchoice.com, a free research guide. Emphasis on the word, “free.”

• Subscribe to every paid service offering money making schemes that are so convoluted even your cursor is scratching its pointy little head. There is plenty of free information on the net at such sites as ezinearticles.com, copyblogger.com, and problogger.com, to name a few.

• Respond to every email you receive from Nigeria asking for your bank account information and social security number. Just make sure they aren’t hiding anything unseemly in the attachment that when opened, unleashes thousands of locusts and plagues onto your desktop and hard drive.

• Believe everything you read about becoming a millionaire overnight. If it seems like it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Building an online presence then making money from it takes time and knowledge. Only in that regard is knowledge not dangerous and ignorance not bliss.
