Working the forums for money
March 10th, 2008 by the noob
When bloggernoob first started, i spent a lot of time doing the forums rounds. It was difficult to get attention even tho i was heavily doing all of the free marketing. I could have easily given up but i didn’t. I even got some paying gigs out of the deal. Of course the money wasn’t much(like $5 max) but i was able to start making money with bloggernoob.

This blog post isn’t for noobs. Business, even blogging, is like monopoly. If you buy Baltic and Mediterranean(purple) and put hotels on them, you’ll only make 500 bucks at most. But if you buy Boardwalk and Parkplace and place hotels, you make 2 grand. It’s more expensive to buy the Boardwalk and it cost more money to put hotels on them, but it’s well worth it. Theres a saying in real estate. It’s better to buy a shitty house in a rich neighborhood then a mansion in the ghetto. If you want to make money online, you can’t be cheap. This post isn’t for noobs. This post is for people who have been blogging for at least 3 months. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll know what to avoid. Don’t pay for overpriced stuff, but learn to distinguish between pricey things, and things that are worthwhile. I still think a review on johnchow is for losers. But there are a lot of options that require cash to work. Spend money on a new themes. Invest in a new website. Buy a premium domain. Buy a website on 
We are taught at an early age that the most important thing in life is love. We are taught that money isn’t everything and that it won’t buy happiness. What a load of crock. I stopped believing in people after i found out Santa Claus and Jesus wasn’t real. But seriously, money is probably the most important thing. It can buy most everything. Mo money mo problems? If i had more money, i wouldn’t mind the problems. You have to compare the problems of people without money. I’d rather have the rich folk problems. Anyway, this post might be a bit cynical, so if you dot your “i”s with hearts or you sing carols when it isn’t Christmas, you might want to skip this one. 
I’m in Cali again. The weather is perfect. Just in time too, cause Chicago is gonna get real cold this weekend. Anyway, i had to come here to make some wedding plans. Kinda scary and weird that i’m getting married. 
I think blogging goals should be set when you first start you blog. I know not everyone is in the blogging game to make money, but it doesn’t hurt right? So what’s your monetary goal? How much do you want to make with your blog? $10 a month, $100/month, $1000 a month? I won’t mention anything in the five figure a month range cause that’s not very realistic for you noobs. But it’s totally possible to make a thousand dollars a month with your blog. How? Read on my friend! 
Bloggernoob first started getting traffic when i joined mybloglog. It wasn’t anything special but, it was bringing me around 20 visitors a day. I started participating in forums like DP and sitepoint and i added more traffic. Then i discovered blogcatalog and started adding around 40 visitors a day. 
I wanted to give out some link love to the bloggers who show a liitle noob some love by writing recommendations on entrecard. I didn’t ask for such recommendation. They did it out of the kindness of their heart. Or it could be a marketing trick. If, that’s the case, i could learn from ya! 
I started my 
MoneyMoney. Out of curiosity i emailed a few bloggers to see how they were doing with their blogs. Seems like they are all doing better then me. I asked them how much they are making with their blogs, when they started the blog, and the traffic they receive.
