So, you’ve started your blog. You’ve added what you think is good quality content. You’ve blasted your links to all the social bookmarking sites that you can think of, and, you’ve asked all of your Twitter followers and Facebook friends to Re-Tweet your links and Like you posts. You seem to be doing all the “right” things when it comes to positioning your site to make money online, but, you have yet to make a single affiliate sale, no one is beating down your door trying to buy advertising in your sidebar, and you still haven’t earned enough via AdSense for Google even to send you your first check.
Over the past 8 years or so, I’ve been what most would consider to be fairly successful when it comes to making money online and I’ve spent a lot of time looking at other blogs and forums to see what tips and tricks I could pick up to improve revenue I was already making. In that time, I’ve seen some variation of the question “Why doesn’t my blog make money“ asked, quite literally, thousands of times, and, although the range of reasons why most people’s blogs don’t make money is as big as the number of times the question itself has been asked, I believe there to be a core set of reasons most people that ask this question seem to overlook.
