There is one big reason for that. Bloggers show up their earnings and people are too much attracted towards it. They think Blogging can bring them money like a fast food. Thats the biggest myth. Before any blogger how up their earnings they should say why i earned so much...nobody does. Even people who show up the earnings fof other bloggers they dont do it either. First show why and then how cfollows. Thats the fist step that should be taken, but people monetize first. There is one big reason for that.

I've been an employed software engineer for waaaay to long. A while back I set up a website offering freelance work and have one or two clients. There has been no word-of-mouth from these clients to new prospects and I have found it hard to get new business. I'm still employed full-time so it's not a problem money-wise but I'd like to "got it alone" at some point. After reading this series, adding a blog to the site seems look a good way to gain traffic and hopefully a higher profile. Cheers for putting this series up and looking forward to plenty more like it. This is a great series of posts, keep up the good work!

I totally agree with Chris that it's a steep hill to climb to build that relationship of trust, if you're blogging under a pseudonym - but if you consistently deliver real value to your readers, and respect them, you should ultimately be able to get there: just a lot slower! @webee, I looked at your blog and it feels to me that you’re going the right way to establish yourself as a friendly and credible source of information.
