    I think the biggest thing I’ve learned with blogging is that it takes time. The big bloggers have spent at least 9 to 12 months building up their blog. So if you put too much emphasis on making money first, then you’re going to fail, simple as that. So I guess a motivating factor for me is that I know I’m providing new and useful information not found in mainstream media.

    Parth, thanks for dropping by.

    You’re right – I’ve not gone much myself into making money (b/c I suck at it? :P ), but it’s more important to build up your blog first :)

    One thing that I really like is seeing what “traffic strategy” works… When I get something that do work, it’s fun! And also to see comments from readers that says things like “great stuff”, it’s very motivating! :P
