Top 3 Common Problems Faced In Making Money From Blogging
I have been blogging for more then 2 years and I have encountered tons of problems. Because of all the encounters, now I have a great habit to start to love problems. Why do I love problems? Well you get to learn as you encounter more and more problems. The secret to my success was I learn to love problems I solved them really fast!
I do noticed lots of loyal readers have been reading my blog and wondering what are the problems encountered in blogging so here’s the top 3 common problems faced by myself from my experiences in making money from blogging.
1. It’s Not Easy To Get People’s Attention Online
When it comes to blogging, your content is key to attracting your readers to stay onto your blog. To get readers to stay on your blog is not an easy task as at times the content will just simply piss people off if you did not craft your article well. So what content you type on your blog does have an impact on your traffic too.
What type of content should you write Alvin? Well as you can see a real example which I just did recently. I actually ask my readers what they like to read about and I just basically write what they want to know.
In that way, you are writing towards what your readers want and that would mostly likely keep your readers coming back. Or you can simply try real quality content on your blog and your readers would love it too 
2. No Traffic To My Blog, HOW ALVIN!
Well it’s no point crying over it right? Well the solution to traffic is to DO MORE of the traffic tactics! That’s the only solution to it. What traffic tactics would I recommend? Well here’s a list of marketing tactics you can choose from.
- Blog Marketing
- Forum Marketing
- Article Marketing
- PPC Marketing
- Press Release Marketing
There are much more methods you can adapt but I would recommend you to choose just one will do and focus on it to get the best results.
Try to get a habit to choose only one traffic tactic and go with it for at least 7 days with at least 2 hours per day to get the most out of it. In that way, after 7 days you will be able to measure how much you have improved.
3. I Am Not Technically Sounded?
Many people who want to learn to make money online have very little experience or knowledge in IT and that’s really important to have in online marketing.
For me I am pretty lucky as before I got into the blogging business, I already had many years of experience in web designer and programming so picking up Internet Marketing was pretty easy for me as I was really good with computers.
The only solution to solving this problem is YOU GOT TO TRY learning step-by-step from courses or books. I have seen people who no IT skills take almost a year to making their first dollar but the key into that is he DID NOT GIVE UP
If you are really lazy then I would recommend you can outsource all the technical stuff to others, that’s another solution

my vote would be for blog marketing traffic tactic.
A good article, Alvin. All the methods you suggest work, and they should all be tried, one at atme as you suggest, becuase different methods will work better for different people.
The number one theme that should underly any method though is to keep trying. None of those methods will do ny good if you just try them for a day and then move to something else.
Many times I’ll see a person asking a question and I’ll go look at their blog. Perhaps they don’t even have one yet (hint, you are guranteed to make nothing if you do nothing
). If they do have ablog, I’ll subscribe. In a week I’ll note that not a single new article has been written, no comments answered, nothing done. It won’t work that way.
Making money with a blog has a lot of benefits, but it is never a method that you can use if you don’t want to work. You need very little investment and very little technical talent to get going, but you have to _blog_ to make money blogging. Wishing for money does not result in much coming in, or at least in my experience it doesn’t.
Yet I did not use forum and ppc marketing.
Not yet any Press releases
But I think If I combine all things, then I can achieve success in blogging.
thanks for sharing.

Hi Alvin
Another good article but I think you forgot 2 important traffic tactics.
#1-Commenting on other blogs [ especially popular ones like yours ]
#2-Social bookmarking , I think this is the most important one now
Keep up the good posts and good luck with your license.
Commenting is part of blog marketing..
but anyway Social Bookmarking really depends which one you are referring
I would like to know more about Blog marketing. But I’m just wondering… u mean there is Forum on blogging?
Good Post- may be a post on each of the traffic tactics will be great. I think getting traffic is a huge problem. Thanks, Alvin
I am really newbie in IT knowledge, even the RSS e-mail subscribe I need to touch it for 2 weeks then I found how to out the tool into my blog. I really hope my blog can become nice in view and post. But I dunno how to design.
