Yes another article about blogging for money.  For many of my friends, the trend has been start up blogging for money, but give up after 2 months when the money doesn’t come immediately.

The Difference Between Blogging Online for Money and Blogging for Fun
Blogging for making money involves a lot more than just blogging for fun.  Blogging for money means treating your blog as a business rather than just a way to publish yourself.   If you are looking to make money, you have to be an entrepreneur, rather than just a blogger.

Marketing and Writing
An entrepreneur keeps in mind one thing, marketing is important.  If you want to grow your blogging into a money making machine, you’ve got to go out and find those looking to read your blogging.  This involves plenty of marketing.  You can have the best blog ever written, but if there is no one out there to read it, it can never grow.

However, those just blogging for fun, don’t need to worry about the marketing part of blogging.  Even a few readers should suffice.

If I can suggest any phrase that should help anyone grow?  Never be satisfied, always strive for something better!

CEOs have used different names, and aliases to create blogging fakes. These CEOs will go around bashing other products under other blogging names and pretend to be a real account. It seems some CEOs are willing to go as low as they can to destroy the reputation of another product.

Walmart’s Blogging Fakes
At one point, Wal-Mart’s public realtions firm had paid for an average American couple to travel across the US in an RV.  The couple spent each night in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The couple then wrote about happy Wal-Mart employees on their blog. Of course Wal-mart tries to do everything it can to kill that idea of it’s mispayed and mistreated workers.

Whats Better than Blogging Fakes?
Rather than try to hide behind your faulty product and bash anyone who makes a good one, why not create practices that don’t require deceiving the public just to get them to buy your product?

Of course I’m guilty myself of blogging fakes in order to get advertising. But, the one thing I try to avoid doing, is lying about someone else’s blog or product. It seems cheap, dirty and unfair.
