Blogging is a great way of passing information from one person to another using a webpage also called a blog or website, most bloggers earn their full time income from blogging but there are lots of facts you need to know before you venture into the blogosphere.
By now most of our readers reading this article might be wondering and eager to know this real truth about blogging but you should relax because we are revealing every single truth about blogging today.
Before you venture into blogging or any business either online or offline you should be able to know your aim and what you stand to gain, it can be money, fame etc
Am writing this article today based on the majority of newbie’s coming into the blogosphere not knowing anything about blogging but all they know is that blogging is a great way to make money online, because I wouldn’t want any of you to regret any action you take that’s why am revealing the real and whole truth about blogging.
The Real Truth About Blogging
It’s a great way to earn money online
First I would like to say that blogging is a great way to earn money online but most newbie’s thinks blogging is a get rich quick scheme which is completely wrong, before you can boost of earning good cash from blogging you need to make impart in your readers lives by writing quality and informative articles on your blog.
Long Term Run
I know that most bloggers hit full time income within some months on their new blogs because sometimes luck is also involved but majority of bloggers do start earning reasonable amount from their blogs when it’s about 6 months plus or even older, blogging is about being persistent you need to keep up doing what you know how to do even if you don’t earn money that very moment in the future you will be smiling to your bank monthly or even weekly to clear your checks.
Patient
Patient is the key to success but most newbie’s and amateurs don’t understand this part because they heard about a blogger who claims he earns $100 per day from one blog they will just start losing hope because they can’t earn up to a dollar per day on their blog, not knowing how much hard work that blogger did on his blog or the years he started building his blog’s traffic and authority. Like they say a patient dog eats the fattest bone so you have to be patient to see your blog grown in the right way.
Hard Work
Most bloggers you see today earning good amount of money from blogging didn’t start today like you so you shouldn’t compare your earning with the earning and traffic of the pro bloggers in the blogosphere, If you take the time you use in snooping around pro bloggers blog to work and build your own blog’s traffic, back links and authority like the ones of the pro blogger’s then surely you can expect to earn good income like the pro bloggers.
You should know that no website or blog was created with millions of visitors because it all started from one day so keep working hard on your blog and the sky shall be your limit.
Be Prepared For Anything That’s The Real Truth About Blogging
Am adding this part to this post because no matter what you do either online or even offline most people will like your job and while some will criticize your job, don’t be expecting your blog readers to praise you at the starting point of your blog because they won’t praise you because of your poor writing skill, poor content and poor seo etc. instead you should be expecting unappealing comments but even at that never give up until you reach your aim as a blogger that ‘s why you need to be thick skinned that never gets frustrated no matter the temptation.
Copy Cats
There is a period when bloggers will start copying your contents but you shouldn’t be angry at all because this is a great way to determine that your blog is growing and that you have improved in your writing skill, although there are some sites that prevent and help you fight against copywriters some of the sites are copyscape.com and dmca.com
The truth about earning good money from a blog is about the traffic it generates, a blog with 20,000 visits daily can’t be compared with a blog that receives 20,000 visits monthly so you can’t expect both blogs to earn same amount of money per month.
Conclusion
As a newbie you should make deep research before starting a blog even if you see your friends or pro bloggers earning good income from blogging try learning some basics from them so that you can be set on the right track and you too will be a pro blogger in no time with their guide and support from their experience.
Feel free to drop your awesome comments below because we love discussing with our readers, what do you thing about this real blogging truth revealed?

JamesW says
August 14, 2013 at 12:10 amI’m glad someone has spoken the real truth, great post Erafe, blogging is HARD, don’t think that there is easy money there. Now after doing this as my full time job, I must admit that I’m a fool, from all of those easier and faster ways to make money I chose blogging.
Blogging is interesting, that’s true, but I worked hard almost every day for a full year before noticing any results in terms of money and social media recognition.
And blogging itself is a sacrifice, don’t think that you can take use of it, first you will became part of it and then it will became part of you.
thanks for sharing …

July 31, 2013 at 9:28 amHello Erafe,
I would like to say Blogging is not the game for one Day but it is the game to be played with sincerely and honesty and as you said patience is the key for success no doubt about it. Very beautifully all the important key points are mentioned here.
Regards
Siddhartha Sinha
erafe prince says
July 31, 2013 at 6:06 pmEven now in the blogosphere bloggers don’t read before commenting but Sinha you took your time to read and comment on this post thanks and i hope to see you soon
Santanu says
July 31, 2013 at 7:17 amVery nice article Ammar. You are a very good writer. Yes, after 10 months of dedication in blogging I know how much I have learned and also earned. Also discovered who can earn and who can not earn. Behind every penny its countless passion and hard work only. Now I know to write a 500 word article which can attract 100 people to comment on it is a very very tough job. No one can explain how much time and hard one that blogger has spend behind that.
So you are completely true, blogging is all about patience, passion and dedication towards your blog or interest. And if this is 100% genuine and honest attempt then your blog will definitely earn in long run.
Keep up good work Bro!!
erafe prince says
July 31, 2013 at 6:09 pmThanks Santanu
Nirmala says
July 30, 2013 at 10:43 pmIn the beginning period of my blogging, I was not aware of the benefits of it much, as i just started to blog on my fascinating subjects .
But now am passionate about blogging and my skills are advanced with it.
Yeah, agree with your views, thanks for sharing it :)
erafe prince says
July 31, 2013 at 2:27 amNice comment Nirmala most times i do see blogging as a none expecting job, what i mean is that those that are expecting to earn money dont earn quickly with blogging but those that don’t care about the money earn much money than they thought they could
Olumide says
July 30, 2013 at 9:08 pmThis is an inspirational and unique post. I’ve not seen a post like this before which makes it special. I think when people know that it takes hardwork, intelligence, and patience to make it in blogging and almost everywhere, they’ll put their best in instead of expecting big money from little work. Thanks for posting.
prince says
July 30, 2013 at 11:19 pmYes olumide when i first started my first blog in the year 2011 i never imagined of expanding in the blogosphere but with time and hard work today am glad i started blogging

Hyptia says
July 30, 2013 at 10:52 amFrom my opinion there is nothing to know some basic things only like you should have unique and useful content and consider that thing on high at your list what is the niche of your readers.
Nosa E Nosa says
July 30, 2013 at 10:37 amThis is a very nice post, newbie bloggers have to know that blogging entails alot of challenges. Not everyone will overcome them, some will break in the process and give up. Your article gives an insight on what to expect.
It will help alot of newbies in the blogosphere and provide strength to many at the frustration point of blogging.
erafe prince says
July 30, 2013 at 2:07 pmNosa would i did believe you will visit this link you did read the post and drop your words of encouragement and appreciation thanks man
Nosa E Nosa says
July 30, 2013 at 2:28 pmI did not only visit the link but I read it twice which is something I normally don’t do. That can only prove that your article is an excellent one.
Thanks for your fantastic response..
Akash says
July 30, 2013 at 8:27 amBlogging is not a great way to earn money online. 100s and even 1000s of bloggers have earned nothing out of their blogs, years and years after.
Few have earned $100 after 5 years and even 7 years. It seems easy, but not so easy. Bloggers claiming earning 1000s of $$$$ every months are most of the time false.
Yes, blogging is a great way to express oneself, and a great tool to communicate with others in online world.
erafe prince says
July 30, 2013 at 2:02 pmAkash it depend on what you are determined to gain, most bloggers don’t earn anything from their blogs because of the huge mistakes they make every here and there. i know blogging is a great way to make money online but it’s not easy too even many bloggers do write articles just like you did on how to earn $100 per day but after reading the article i found out that it all came to one same point which is patient, hard word and persistent so akash blogging is a great way to earn money online
Harleena Singh says
July 30, 2013 at 7:13 amHi Prince, and welcome to Ammar’s blog :)
Yes indeed, you mentioned some nice points about the real harsh truth about blogging, which surely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Blogging IS hard work, and it’s also a full-time job for those who want to really take it professionally. I agree, it is NOT a way to make quick money, and those who are doing that, might be following the wrong methods I guess. Blogging takes time, effort, and lots of patience. You need to really give in your full – your best, before expecting any kind of results. More so, learn to give back to others, before anything else.
Yes indeed, you will find ALL kinds of people in the Blogosphere – those who praise you and the ones who criticize you. I guess you just keep listening to all they have to say and make yourself better by the day. Not to mention, that the more you write, more you interact, more you reach out and connect – the better you become.
I don’t think you need to fear, nor follow anyone. Just tread your path honestly, and be determined and very sure of yourself – and there is nothing that can stop you from achieving great heights.
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week, both of you :)
erafe prince says
July 30, 2013 at 1:56 pmThanks Harleena like i mentioned in your blog earlier your comments are just like composed and well written article waiting to be published on a blog, thanks for the comment

John Gibb says
July 30, 2013 at 1:04 amhi erafe
I think that most blogs who are now successful didn’t plan to become top earners in their niche… their owner just started to share info or insights about the niche from his or her experience, and within months, or years (as in most cases) it took off
There was a combination of the right (quality/practical) content with the right promotion (comments and guest posts on other relevant blogs) which made them successful…
Anybody who still believes one can make money (generate a result) without lifting a finger or doing little work is insane.. it’s like believing you can grow trees without planting the right seed in the right ground and feeding it with water, sun, etc…
does it make sense?
cheers!
erafe prince says
July 30, 2013 at 1:47 pmThanks john for leaving this awesome comment on this post, truly just like you said most bloggers that earns good income from blogging never planned or aimed to earn it big from blogging thanks dude for adding more value to this post
Nosa E Nosa says
July 30, 2013 at 2:36 pmHi John,
I think I have to disagree with you claim that most successful bloggers didn’t plan to be top earners. I believe anything without a plan is destined to fail even millions of cash was spilled into the project.
I would have agreed entirely, had you said few of the blogs, but saying most of the blogs is rather too much of an assertion than a fact.
Many of the blogs have a very solid system which saved them time, energy and money. Most-times a system that works for Blog A, may fail entirely if applied on Blog B.
On your second point, I totally agree.
