The other day I wrote a post about why you should create a ‘make money blogging’ blog if you feel like doing it.

We saw several reasons to create a blog about that topic as it seems even easy to succeed blogging about ways to make money.

Today, I’ll drop some thoughts about why you shouldn’t create a ‘make money blogging’ blog.

This post isn’t meant to be rude nor negative. It shouldn’t destroy your illusions either.

What’s the point then you ask? To save time and money for newcomer bloggers.

That said, let’s get to work.

You shouldn’t create a make ‘money blogging blog’

The main reason everyone will say is lack of passion and interest. But there are really more reasons:

1) Most of bloggers start a ‘make money blogging’ blog just because it’s a hot topic, without having experience.

What’s the experience required to start such a blog you ask? Well, let’s bring an example.

A math teacher can’t teach others about mathematics if he/she doesn’t have a clue about logarithms, equations, etc; right?

This is the same. Creating a blog on that niche means to teach others, to show them the way to a money making blog. How could you teach others to make money blogging if you didn’t even have a blog or haven’t made money blogging before?

You learn first, you teach second. It doesn’t work the other way around.

2) Unless you add more categories or make some research about topics that are niche-related you have a problem.

This niche can’t really be developed too much. If you’re thinking about just dropping a couple of ideas to make money blogging you better set up a website full of affiliate links and make a great SEO work rather than making a blog.

A blog is different from a website, amongst other reasons, because it gets updated frequently, so a blog without updates is just useless.

You can find several ‘sub-niches’ to blog about. Just make a market-research and check what people need and give it away.

3) The competition here is pretty tough. Plus, it’s too much competition for a small reward. As an example:

My google page shows 172,000,000 results for the term ‘make money blogging’. Looking at the Google Adword Keyword Tool, that keyword gets an estimated traffic –from US- of 22,200 per month.

As you see, this isn’t – in theory- the best niche to blog about, as there are a lot of competition and a very small reward for your hard work trying to overtake that competition.

4) One of the common problems you can face here is that you really don’t have something new or innovative to bring to the community.

We have a feeling that ‘everything has already been said’ and that there’s nothing new to learn.

True or not, you should think about what could you bring –usually experience comes in handy here- to your readers, something they didn’t know… To sum up: something different.

5) It’s not easy to monetize the traffic, to get a high conversion rate.

If you want to get a few bucks from your blog then you better know how to make profit from your visitors. You can find some tips here on keepblogging.

Anyway, if you don’t know how to monetize your traffic, how could you start a ‘make money blogging’ blog? Forget it.

Ok, the war ends here. Enough said.

So, you have reasons to make a money making blog and reasons to avoid creating it. Should you go for it or blogging about a different topic?

That depends on you, but my conclusion will come on the next post.

Thanks for reading.
