Make Money Online at Natespost.com

   Rule #1. Find what you are passionate about and devote yourself to that passion in a way that benefits others.

   Rule #2. Never….and I mean NEVER, stick your fingers in the monkey cage at the zoo.

   What I mean is, there is only one rule. To make money with a blog, money can’t be your only reason for blogging. I know that sounds close to hypocritical coming from me, but let me elaborate. Yes, I am making and want to make much more money with this blog, but money isn’t my driving force. My passion since I was a little kid and my Dad brought home a Commodore Vic20, has been computers. Then came the internet. Actually, how many of you remember the pre-internet “bulletin boards”? I was fascinated! Not in the sense of “Hey, this is cool” but in the sense of “How the hell does this work?” From day one of my AOL account, (what else was there?) I learned to right click and “view source”. I had a passion for the infrastructure rather than the content. As I have learned more, my passion has expanded to encompass all things related to building and growing a vibrant, beneficial site on the internet. Sharing what I already know and what I learn every day is a benefit to others. I love knowing that I have helped someone and also love making people laugh. So this is my passion and this is the reason I am already making and will make more money. Being laid off from my job was just a motivation to do what I was already passionate about.

   What I respect about my readers is that all of you that comment are on the same path. You have started blogs about what you are passionate about. From Anca, who recently moved to the United States and has absolutely fallen in love with Las Vegas, to Scott who definitely has a passion for fathers’ rights in the court system, to Chandler who, well, REALLY likes beer. Sorry for not mentioning everyone of you but trust me, I read your blogs and everyone of you is writing about what you are passionate about.

   How many times have you happened across a blog that hasn’t had a post in months and has become a spam comment junkyard? Unless the blogger is now dead or in prison, he/she started the blog simply to make money. When it didn’t make money early on, they quit. They quit because they weren’t passionate about their subject. Find what you are passionate about and make yourself a combined source of information, inspiration, and entertainment. You will be an asset to your readers and the money will come.
