5 Reasons Why Making Money Online Is Not So Easy.

Make Money Online

Blogging is no more a hobby, it has turned into a full fledged business with millions of people all over the world their hands at it in order to live the lifestyle of their dreams. However only a small fraction of them experience any worthwhile success while the others just end up abandoning their blogs within a year. Before you too get caught up in the “blogging will make you rich” syndrome, let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons why making money online is not as easy as it seems to be .

1. Huge Competition

Thanks to the luring income reports of many successful bloggers on the internet, everyday more and more people are trying their hands at blogging, resulting in ever increasing competition. In order to gain credibility among their readers and also to motivate upcoming bloggers, these top bloggers publish their income reports but that leads to an influx of new bloggers entering the scene, making most keywords saturated and diminishing the chances of your blog getting a decent traffic from search engines.

2. Constant Hard Work

While new bloggers are often misled into thinking that blogging is the easy route to riches, the reality is quite different. Not only does blogging requires dedication and commitment just like any other business, it also requires you to research and constantly update your blog, apart from engaging in other blogging related activities like networking, SEO optimization and building backlinks. This normally ends up taking a minimum of 2-3 hours daily and if you are not up for it, you will not be able to succeed in generating a decent income from your blog.

3. Over-dependence on Adsense

Though Adsense is a wonderful way of making money just by getting visitors to your blog, you can never be sure when your account might be banned for no reason. Many innocent bloggers have been suspended in the past though they hadn’t engaged in any fraudulent activities, and once banned there’s very little chance of convincing Google to take you back as an adsense publisher. You must be very careful to avoid ban from Google Adsense.
Another thing is that there is no other CPC network that comes close to Adsense when it comes to the price per click, so your earnings would be severely affected.

4. The Big G

As we all know Google is the King of search engines and bloggers heavily depend on Google for a large majority of their blog visitors. However over the last two years Google has been rolling out a number of algorithm changes for their search results, which has resulted in many blogs being penalized for one thing or the other. This means that you can no more rely on Google for your income, which makes making money all the more difficult and unpredictable.

5. Patience

Often neglected, this is one of the most important factors determining success or failure of a person in making money online. This is because the first few months of blogging or any other online business are extremely hard, and it’s almost a guarantee that success won’t come to you for at least six months to a year after starting out. The ones who are able to survive these tough times generally end up being successful sooner or later while the ones who succumb to the frustration lose out in the race.
