Hi,Roman.I’d never seen so true and detail a blog before I saw you this one. You know everyone who wants make money by guiding others always claim they make huge money easily.However,rarely they give the real or reliable samples.Can the Internet be a huge gold mine or just a hole that voices of success raised and echoed everywhere to lure those who have dreams? I don’t know but want to know and hunt for answer. Any website that making money with websites is full of reasons and exciting,but none tells you the real state. So, I think you,to find still there is a voice to tell a true website. I do thank this is value.
By the way, I am not very good at English compare to American. However, your website is easy to me to understand.

One more thing: Your loyalty may be your biggest weakness. You have to learn how to shut things down without any guilt. and move onto something more meaningful.. it’s important to have some success to build on. it’s all about the opportunity (or missed opportunity) cost. For example, the more time you waste on this blog , as its not earning anything meaningful for you, the less time you have for something else.
However, this blog may be an enjoyably hobby for you. In that case, that’s fine. If making money is the main motivation, then I dont know what to say…

You should have learned a long time ago that blogging is actually one of the WORST ways to make money on the internet. Better to spend your time elsewhere. I think your talent is in writing, not in blogging. You should write something and sell it online (outside the use of a blog) .

Hi Roman,
I’m another one who is certainly glad to see you posting again. If it was purely down to quality of writing I think you’d be rolling in money already. You could always try blogging about those flowers and donkeys to take the pressure off. If you do, be sure to let us know because it’s bound to make good reading!

All the best,
Des.

Mike and Ruth, you guys make it difficult to blame the world for my woes. But you are probably right, it might be a little bit my fault that success is being dolled out a penny at a time. I should do more. But I am worried that brute force ‘do more’ might not be the answer – who knows. Since I have no other idea besides ‘do more’ I will do more and see. I will ‘do more’ for 1 more year.

Ruth it is not that I do not like writing for this blog – I do. It is just that I do not like thinking about it all the time. I do not enjoy ‘howthiswebsitemakemoney’ being in my head all the time. Sometimes I just want to think about flowers and donkeys without being nagged by this website. I do not like being like the high jump athlete who always has to think about the pole and how to jump over it; having nightmares of the pole wiggling, shaking and then falling to the ground.

I agree with Mike, I *love* your posts and writing, but I don’t feel you do enough. It’s such a shame that you find it a waste though. Do you not enjoy writing what you’re doing or connecting with other bloggers? If so, maybe you’re not trying the right way to make money. I love reading your blog so I hope I’m wrong, but everyone is different so maybe you need to blog in a different niche, a niche that you would love to write about whether you made money or not??

Roman! So good to see you back. I enjoy our verbal sparring sessions.

Stop dreaming my friend, and start working!

Do you know you’ve published 7 posts in the last 5 months? Of course you aren’t making any money, and frankly, you don’t deserve to. What value are you giving anyone?

In the same time I published 135 posts and wrote a book called Beyond Blogging.

Come on, get moving, do some bloody work! You’re a good writer. You’re intelligent. Fulfil that dream!
