You're right, create a blog easy, maintain a blog hard. Many people realize that they cant make any cents or no traffic, then will just give up. What a waste....=.=

I haven't actually seen concrete proof of a blogger actually making anything like what people make in day jobs (for the amount of work they do I mean.)

Lol agree man, anyway my tip is enjoy the blogging process. don't just blog for money =)

Do you know the guy? have you actually seen his statements?

Haha u r funny, of course not, I even didn't see you as well. But, he wanna cheat me, he will probably cheat thousands of his readers.

Many people don't believe his earning also because he never proof it to us, but don't care la..I very less read his blog 1..lol..
but it;s great if he really earn that much..=)

that's because the blogger is not putting 8 hours of effort like what they do in the day jobs into the blog? take me for example, i only blog once in 3-4 days. and the post only takes me at most 1-2 hours to write.

anyway, if you want proof, go to http://www.5xmom.com. She probably earns more than most of us here who have a day job by just blogging.

vkeong, yeah man, i like her blog, she's funny too

That's what you assume

Ya very slow haha..



Does anyone always chat in INNIT NUFFNANG?

I think there are only few bloggers in Malaysia that manage to do it. Hopefully, I can be one of them soon.

well maybe she doesn't earn as much as you do in your day job. but i am sure she earns hell a lot more than most of us. if you are trying to brag here, you can take it else where

NN site down?

ehh. let's see, approximately 3 hours per article on average. depending on article complexity.

i have about 10 articles each month, so that makes it around 30 hours work. which comes to an equivalent of approximately 4 days work, not counting travel time and all.

my earning? let's just say it covers quite a lot of my living cost. (eg petrol, basic food, bills blbalabla..........)

wow can even cover petrol ar??? u must be earning darn alot every month...

like me?? now RM1.27 for my guiness buffered campaign

No what I mean is, how do you know he makes anything at all?

She had posted up her Nuffnang Cheque, Adsense Cheque, Payment from several advertiser in Paypal. Check out her blog then you will find it. She is great in making money, she own quite a lot blogs too.

well that was then. now different. surely my blog would've progressed isn't it?

i'm just not revealing figures.

Even forum. geng.

if you actually read her blog then you will know. she posted those cheques she received. well you can argue that those may be fake as well if you want

anyway, what i wanna say is, not all people will be like 5xmom who quit her job to be a full time blogger. And the money you get from blogging really is equivalent to the effort you put in. do you know she owns like more than 10 domains? writing a post (lets say 1 hour per post) would require 10 hours of her time daily.

honestly, i won't do that as blogging is a hobby to me, not something i wanna use to pay for my living. and the money i make from the ads i use it to pay for my petrol. to you, maybe the cents earned is not a lot, and you would rather sleep. but for me, i see it as something extra that comes along with a hobby. so why not?
