Blog first before considering making any money

You have written two or three sentences, you posted it in the internet and congratulations you have your first blog. Hmmmm… then an idea pops up in your head. I want to make money out of these sentences. You heard somewhere that the best place to earn with your blog is by adding adsense. So you signed up with a google adsense account. You got crazy and placed every available ad that adsense allows. 1 Leaderboard - check, 1 wideskyscraper - check, 1 box - check. Not yet satisfied you need to place more from adsense. 1 link unit - check, 1 adsense for search - check, and 1 adsense for feeds - check. Truly this is a foolproof plan in starting your money-making blog empire. All you have to do now is wait for the dollars to trickle in - Kaching! Kaching! A day passed, no changes in your earnings with adsense. You thought to yourself adsense must need some more time to reflect your big bucks earnings. You decided you could wait and check a week after but still no changes, then a month after and still there still no changes. Only at that moment did it sink in you, that dream car that you were dreaming of will stay a dream. You then breakdown and cry, you cry so much until you wasted away into an empty husk. This is a true story, well not the wasting away into an empty husk part, but the belief that making money with blogging is easy. Truth be told I don't know anybody personally who is earning good money with blogging. Hopefully that puts doubt in you, before you decide leaving your regular paying job with the uncertainty of internet money. Though I am not saying that this could not be done. But those who "made it" has struggled to a lot of trials and errors before they arrived to where they are now. My tip for you is this, if you are not discouraged yet, go into the habit of posting in your blog regularly. Do this for a couple of months, do not think of making money just yet. Just write and write even at those times that you do not feel like writing you write some more. If you could do this, without checking yourself in an asylum, then maybe then you could think of monetizing your blog. A word to the wise though, even if you have written several epics, posted thousands of times in your blogs, it is still no guarantee that you'll make any money out of your blogs. Tough but true! -access out, God speed!
