I’d like to see this young mans attitude when he’s 25." And people like you feeding stereotypes and prejudices that slow the evolution of this world. Not everyone young is arrogant, and today I find more of the arrogant people to be in the 35+ age. You, in fact, are the very definition of arrogant. @Shawn (jooste.org)

Don’t try to make a ‘make money online’ blog, you’re just wasting your time.

If I find another "get rich quick while you sit on the sofa and watch TV while the billions just roll in" I think I am going to cry. As they say, if you are trying to jump on the bandwagon, chances are it has already left... Nice to see something original, rather than everyone being like sheep (baa). For all those who are already internet millionaires - well done you. For the rest of us mere mortals, blog because you love it, not because you see it as the only way to make a quick buck.

I think everyone read this post to the very end. I really like one of the points in your introduction about "getting inspiration from the big boys" but not committing outright plagiarism. These kind of blogs just get lost among the thousands out there. Hilarious. I think everyone read this post to the very end.

Big time. There will always be people who got new and good ideas which will earn big money. But don't expect to do it through a blog. BTW: About all the good ideas are taken, that is wrong. Big time.

I've been thinking about this for a long time and it is so true. Making Money Online blogs pop up everywhere but not many of them is ever going to succeed. I hope the majority of them does it because they enjoy it, and not to make money. For their sake. You are so right. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and it is so true.

True 'make money online' blogs are too damn saturated. We don't have enough cynics floating around trying to do the same from the reverse direction. I’d say this man has a point.

But when you have the proof of making atleast enough PER MONTH off 1 website to pay for an apt or something of that nature then your proven you can do it. And thats me ;) But more is always better no? I agree, there are so many people who simply dont want to put the work in to make it big!

I think you make great points, and totally see where you're coming from. In fact you have a very smart, controversial idea which you could probably milk and make money from, if you wanted to ;) I think the one sentence that stands out though is: "That’s right, I’ve accepted the fact and you should too." Accepting defeat and stamping the word "Can't" into us like cattle could work quite well...I'm not sure if John Cow shares your beliefs though because I doubt he believed all the "good ideas were taken". Again, not knocking you because you definitely wrote up a post that stirs up thoughts..very good work! Very well said. I think you make great points, and totally see where you’re coming from.

I do think that you can still definitely attract a crowd for 'how to make money blogs', but it would probably be easier in a less established niche. Definitely an interesting post.

It makes me want to puke. Anyway, what all you money making bloggers should remember is that only a small % of bloggers makes good money from their blogs and the rest, well they don't. Shoemoney.com makes piles! Why? Because he had some great success with other ventures and now people WANTS to listen to what he is saying cause he has done it before. I think the % of bloggers in the category of making money online, that is actually making money online is less than 4%. So get out there, think of a great website concept and experiment...
