The bizarre word of internet marketing

I have been trying for quite a bit of time to understand the dynamics of internet marketing. And I could not say that I do have a clear understanding.
For once I have no idea how some people can post 4 or 5 times a day. Don’t they have any other job? I guess not.
There is absolutely no way you can work a full time job and then when you are home, dedicate the rest of your time writing about things you could not care less.
I have been reading some blogs belonging to people who make over 1000 dollars a month writing blogs.
Some of them are boring to say the least. Others are passing info found on other sides, using their words or putting it into a different format. Hence, when PayPerPost verifies their blog for example, the content seems to be original.
To some extent it is, but more often than not I could not find any real value to whatever was written there.
And I am not saying this because I am not a good sport. This is what I really believe.

I truly believe that if you write about things you are interested in, probably you are not going to find too many company eager to pay you money for that.
For example: my role model is Leonardo DaVinci, and if I could channel his spirit I would do it in a blink of an eye.
I would like to write more about his personality and his genius.
Now, most marketers will pay you to write about car insurance, life insurance, plastic surgery and other things like this. You can’t monetize your blog writing about DaVinci, right?
Then, what is your solution? You have to prostitute yourself and write about something you can be paid for. Right?
How much joy is that?
Probably the joy of getting the cheque. In today’s super pragmatic world, there is no room for dreamers.
Do you remember the artists in the past? Most of them lived and died dirt poor.
Now we have a new motto ‘It’s no business like show business’.
Some artists are very rich. But I digress.

Going back to the question ‘how to make money on the net’, I must accept that I don’t have the stomach to write about stuff I don’t believe in.
So, probably I am not going to be accepted by any program that pays you to blog.

The truth about sites that pay you to blog

The truth is that not many sites are going to accept you into their ‘make-money-for-blogging’ program.
I was trying today to get accepted by ReviewMe. I failed. My blog does not generate enough traffic so far.
This is the reality of making money on the net: you have to be already a winner to get into the Big-Boys-Club; read ‘get lots of page impressions per month’
In some cases, the minimum accepted number is 100,000!!!
Now let’s face it: most of us like to blog for fun and why not, if we are paid for having opinions on something or writing an honest product review, it’s even better, it keeps you motivated.Being rejected is not a pleasant feeling. Damn!

Making big money on line is like getting a well paid job in Canada. You have to have a successful career before applying for the job.
My lesson today:ReviewMe, Kontera and Chitika are not for newcomers. Pooh-pooh on them.
Probably when I am going to have traffic on my site I wouldn’t choose them only because I don’t like this elitism.
