Recently I am noticing on different public places, news papers and posters that some people are arranging workshops to teach people how to earn money online. The other day, I was browsing some CDs and suddenly a package caught my eyes. It was a package of CDs in which, as the vendor claims, is the tutorial video of setting up weblogs and optimizing them to earn money. People who know that I am quite a regular internet user have started asking me for tips on earning money online. They get surprised that I don’t know the exact procedures of “earning 16-18 USD per hour”. Really, I don’t know. My site has never been popular. I earn 2-3 USD MAXIMUM if I am quite lucky that day. I wonder what is in these tutorial videos which train people to earn that much money in one hour. Let alone earning 16 USD per hour, I would be more than glad to earn 16 USD per day. I know that is not impossible when you are popular enough, but wait a minute, is it easy to become popular?
Many of the people in Bangladesh are new to the internet and a class of ill motivated people or better said, businessmen are taking the chance. They are misguiding the newbie. They are assuring that if the blogger puts right contents on their site, hits will come. They also provide some “hard-for-beginners” tutorial to guide them. Beginners, who don’t even know how the Internet works, how are they supposed to understand how SEO works? People who can’t write a single grammatically correct sentence, how are they supposed to be blogging on targeted topics? This is rubbish. It’s time the blogger community raised their voice on this issue. Earning money is never easy. You need to ensure quality first. You need to satisfy the readers. And to tell them the truth, we have to admit how hard that can be.
And the main reason behind starting a blog should never be money. If you wanna earn money online, go to some freelancing sites. That’s what I have been suggesting people for a while 😛
