Making money at home with a blog has become a dream for many people.

We've all seen those blogs talking about making money at home talking about our passions, and that sounds great.

Then there are those bloggers that say you can build your blog and make money even while you're sleeping or on vacation, and that sounds amazing!

But does it really work? Can you actually make money blogging?

Short answer: Yes!

But you've got to put the work in first.

Get training, follow the process, build an audience, and then you can start making money.

I know it can be frustrating at first. When you first start out it seems like nothing is working.

Your blog isn't ranking high enough.

Not enough people are visiting.

No one is buying through your affiliate links.

Then some time goes by and you get ranked a little higher and a few more people visit...

But the money still isn't coming in like those "Super Bloggers" tell you it will.

This is the point when a lot of bloggers give up. They aren't seeing the success they want so they decide they just don't have what it takes.

That's a HUGE mistake!

You can't be successful by quitting without giving yourself and your business a chance.

With all the training and tools available there's one very important tool that gets overlooked far too often:

PATIENCE!

Give your blog time to grow, keep working, and great things can happen.

I started a blog about 7 months ago, wrote about 40 posts, then got sidetracked with another project.

Well guess what happened. Those 40 posts continued to climb in the SERPs as time passed, more people visited, and the money started trickling in. I haven't done anything with that blog in almost 5 months.

Now I'm on vacation, and I woke up this morning to find a $499.75 commission from one of the programs I promote on that blog!

Yeah! Almost $500 while on vacation from a blog I haven't touched in 5 months!

I put in the work in the beginning to make those 40 posts awesome, and people still read them and click my affiliate links.

Moral of the story, dont give up if you don't find instant success. Use the training and tools available here to build your blog. Then use the most important tool in your arsenal: PATIENCE!

Success can be yours if you work for it!
