I would agree that passive should be removed from blog income and just say that bloggers can earn income. I guess some people do have success with a niche site, but that’s not an active blog. I enjoy reading success stores like Problogger and Chow, but what about the average bloggers. Do they earn $20 on average per month or less?

Sounds good! Are you selling your own products or affiliate products created by others?

Good luck in making money online!

My top pick for the best 21st century business skill to develop is the following: Internet Marketing.

Me and my pals have been investing serious time into this skill recently. The main justification for this is that if you have the ability to create quality internet traffic you can monetize it any way that is most effective. If what you’re selling (software, other merchant’s products, shoes, bacon, etc.) isn’t working you can fix it.

Great article. Finding a market for your talent or hobby is the main challenge. Once you have a target audience it’s much easier to start making money on the side.

Someone’s willing to pay you to do something you enjoy, all you have to do is find them!

Rashid: Thanks for the Backwards Bush link, hadn't seen it before. That's a great example of how you should act on your ideas (even if they seem a bit crazy) because they might be successes. If you don't try you'll never know. -- As an (almost) unrelated sidenote, have you guys read The Raw Shark Texts? I got a free demo of it from the local book store (32 pages of the book given for free), read it yesterday and now I really need to get the book... The (almost) related part here is that they took the idea from software / internet and brought the free demos to books - and it sure works. :)

Great post Jarkko. Very well written, excellent take on making income on the side.

My favorite – the “Preserve Pluto” Tee’s. A great example of a couple who have made an incredible amount of money following worldly events is http://www.backwardsbush.com/ – It’s amazing how people can come up with something so simple, but make so much money out of it

Well said, Nedzad! Well said.

If you write about something with authority, passion, and write well (interesting text, interesting topics) people will be interested in reading what you have to say.

Good luck with your blog (you’ll get at least one loyal reader from Vantaa, Finland right from the moment it opens up :)

May I introduce myself? I am the next blogging sensation, please, stand up. And Jarkko, watch out. :D ;)

It’s all about the content, even if you’re writing about an elephants in Africa and do that pretty well, you can expect appreciation.

All the best, just try not to think about money, but for doing a noble things. People will recognize you.
