Every day hundreds (if not thousands) have the idea to start making money with a blog. While this is possible, it’s still very unlikely. Of the 300+ million blogs that are currently out there, I would say less than 1% of them actually make any real money (at least $1,000 per year).

Before we break down why your blog isn’t going to make money, we would first need to look at why people are starting blogs in the first place and to also think outside of the “wordpress training” and “make money online” niche blogs.

First thing first… it’s easy to make money in the “Wordpress Training” and “Affiliate / Make Money Online” space because everyone is kind of swapping the same information and we all have the same goal — which is to create a successful online business and make money. To make money in this space, all you need to do is look at successful sites and try to replicate their success and content, while building a brand following of your own.
