Are we bloggers or beggars?

Yes. Many times I feel like that. Look at the photo below.

I have compiled many pics from opensource.org to get the above photo.

 Many of us will write the blog for making money. In that process, we will write something, and then send it to social media. We request People to view it, like it and comment on it! All these are to get some money from PPC(pay per click) websites.

Most of the best PPC websites are giving about $0.35 for every 1000 views.

This type of payment also will have some riders and percentage cuts in it. For achieving this, we will be troubling many friends and followers in twitter,facebook,google+, Pinterest, emails and many other social media and methods.

When we try to think in this direction, our mind will make us to read Posts in the internet like "How I made $200 in one day by blogging?"Again our direction will change. Of course, some of the bloggers have made money, maybe because of their talent or luck or opportunity, which will not be suitable for most of us.

I want to end this post by a small story, which I have coined for this post.

A man ,30 yrs of age, called many of his friends to tell the secret of making money. He showed a gold coin.He said "I have practiced looking at the ground while walking. I got this coin in a span of one week. So, if you are going to follow this method of walking, for 10 years, which means 52X10=520 weeks, you are likely to get  about 520 gold coins or some similar things which are valuable. Start from today itself, while walking back to your homes".

Most of them started, some of them got some simple currency notes. Others thought that they will get it someday. Many  of them dashed against other walkers,  some narrowly escaped  moving vehicles.

After a month all of them discontinued it, including the man who started it, and only one man continued it till the age of 70years!

That one man called all the old friends and disclosed his "earnings"

He had earned to two gold coins, several lower denomination currency notes and coins, thousands of nails, Pins and a permanently bent back bone! He told that it is not worth doing it.

What I now feel is that we should write the blog for passion and to give our viewpoint to the general public. Of course,  if we  get some money, we have to consider it as a bonus.

With this Kind of approach, we will not be disappointed.
