Gotta get on that list some day
Yeah, you might… though, not alone
Family issues, right guys?
Actually it’s not that hard to make that kind of money. All it takes is a lot of time and dedication on top of some flair.
There are lots of people who try to make money on the net, but only those with flair succeed.
Anyhow, after I break the $5k (monthly) barrier I’ll give you an exclusive interview.
Jk
You may laugh but it’s not only lots of time, dedication and flair. Where’s the luck and the help from those big guys?
Luck doesn’t exist.
Things don’t just happen to us… Everything is a result of the choices we’ve made. There is no predefined intention behind an event in your life, it is just a result of a previous chain of events that may be impossible to model.
I’m telling you, all it takes is a good idea, passion, time, perseverance and flair. Stick to these and you’ll do just fine, trust me!
@Titus, thanks for the interview offer
Anyway, I agree with Alex that you need some luck in life, no matter how much you work or not.
Yep, as in other industries where some people get famous and most don’t, there is the random factor that you can’t control. Nevertheless, it is possible to make some nice pocket change with a blog by being very focused on a hot topic area and properly optimizing its content. There are teenagers making a few hundred dollars a month that way and it only takes them a few hours a month to keep it going. One example is Chloe Spencer, daughter of SEO specialist Stephan Spencer, whose NeoPets cheats blog earns her $700-$900 per month. Of course, having an SEO specialist as your dad helps some too.

Peter, and what would that “random factor” be?
There’s nothing that you can’t control. There are just a lot of things that you (we for that matter) don’t want to assume responsability for.
