Rice Blogger

Riceblogger is my blog that I spend a lot of time doing SEO, researching post and reading other blog to sharpen my skill in Internet Marketing. Unfortunately, when I do calculation base on time and effort compare to my monthly income from each blogs and website I own. Riceblogger seem to do badly mainly I think because I am not in a niche market.

If you plan to start a blog to make money, go niche topic where little people blog about it, but also at the same time have sufficient market for your to get reader.

Here is some reason why you should not start a blog about making money:-

1. Your reader most probably know which block is advertisements even though you try to blend them into your website. So CTR is always low.
2. They know how affiliate links work, so some of them will try to bypass the affiliate or use their own affiliate link to purchase.
3. There is too many of them out there. Unless you know you can become one of the top 5% of this group.
4. It is hard to stand out from the others because your post is most probably mentioned in other people’s blog post already.
5. You are most probably coping someone else content.

I have some blogs that takes less than 2 hours / week to maintain but does earn as much as RiceBlogger currently. But I am still using this blog as a bookmark and to keep track of the strategy I used to do Internet Marketing for all my other sites.
