If you take a critical look around you and in the internet, you will discover that lot of people, in their bid to make money from the internet, take into blogging.

The idea of sitting with your computer in the comfort of your home all day, working when you want and making money while you sleep without answering to anybody sounds pretty nice.

With the above mindset, lot of people take it upon them to, determine a profitable niche, get a hosting plan, write some quality content with good SEO and then sit back, relax and watch the money rolling in.

Well sorry to tell you that it really does not work so easy. I’m not here to tell you that it’s not possible to make money online, (it’s very possible) but only if you know the truth about blogging and avoid the misconceptions about blogging.

Find Below some of the most common misconceptions and strive to avoid them.

1. Blogging Is Not A Business: Repeat it again ”blogging is not a business” and again ”Blogging is not a business”. This is the first thing you need to know. Always put this in mind that blogging is not a business, because you can’t make money by giving away free stuff and expect people to pay for that free stuff.

You might ask; how do the pro bloggers make money?
It’s pretty simple, for you to make money online, you ought to render a form of service or sell something. Some examples include; E-book sale, Coaching services, Advertisements, Affiliate links, Speeches etc. If you notice, you’ll see you can do all of these without a blog.

Then what is the purpose of having a blog?
Well simply put, the blog is a platform with which you use to attract lot of readers (traffic) whom you can later turn into loyal customers, by giving away free contents/stuffs.

Always remember that “just as you cannot make money facebooking, you cannot make money blogging”

2. Blogging Is Not An Over-night Success: Most times we have often been told that in blogging, you need lots of patience. The truth is, you really do need patience and lots of it. Many people still fail to realize that blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. You can’t be successful over-night, you need to work hard. But unfortunately, this is the one reason why people do actually blog “to make sudden wealth”.

3. Your Motive Towards Blogging: In all, your motive towards blogging matters, your motive should not be to achieve personal success alone but also seek to satisfy your audience. It should be a win-win for you and your audience.

As a blogger you must have your audience’s interest at heart if you really want to offer them quality and not quantity. The misconception here is that many bloggers take to “copy & paste” just to keep regular update of their blog. This is offering your audience quantity but not quality. Give your readers quality content and not some form of copied article. This will help to also build your brand quality and trust.

In whatever you do as a blogger, ensure you don’t see your blog as a money-making entity, because if you do, there are high probabilities that you will get it all wrong.

There are lots of people out there who will continue to tell you that blogging is the money. But the major idea here is for you to see your blog as a marketing tool and not a money-making entity,
