Be Aware of Fake Blogger Post Online!

Spotting the Scammers

As a new blogger, below are some things you need to be aware of. Which will save you a lot in your blogging journey.

a) Posts promising you success

I am sure you might have come across blogs that tell you by starting a blog, you can earn thousands of money every month. The fact is you can make even more money in blogging but hear me out on this.

There are many ways of monetizing a blog and it all depends on your creativity in incorporating the various monetization methods in your blog. Here are 5 ways how bloggers make money.

Come to think of it, the person promising you a fortune in blogging often does not give real value on their blog. By value, I mean teaching you how to start a blog or telling the truth about what it takes to make money.

Instead, they tell you to subscribe to an expensive course. Their goal is to get you to purchase the course and that’s how they make money.

So when you buy the course, what makes you think they will follow up? Will they actually teach you blogging? Will they make sure you succeed with the promise they made?

If I am selling juice at a shop, the moment you purchase it I do not care whether you drink it, pour it to the ground or wash clothes with it. I am giving such examples hoping you grasp the point in what I mean.

If you really are interested in learning how to blog, there is so much free information on the internet which you can learn from.

I’d advise you stay away from such people who promise you a fortune from blogging. Some go to the extent of telling you the exact figures you will be making.

I am not against courses or anything but always make sure to do your due diligence before purchasing a course. The goal here is to learn and not lose money to another blogger with no value in return.

I believe this is the reason people go online purchasing the useless courses. So when they do not achieve the easy success promised they get frustrated and quit blogging.

b) Posts promising fast results

Some people promise you large monthly revenues, while others claim you can make money quickly—in just a few months. A popular claim is that you can succeed within six months.

Honestly, only an experienced blogger can start a blog and make it profitable in such a short time. They don’t begin as beginners, so they avoid the confusion that comes with being new.

I understand some could be blinded by their success. Making them forget the hardships they went through to make it a success. So it becomes easy to advice everyone that it is possible. Major facts about blogging you should know.

Here is an example for you, if you have been training and got good at running. If you won a championship, would you advice everyone to go run and promise them that they will win their first marathon? Of course not.

It is much better to educate them on the training routines and discipline. Let them decide if they are able to put in the work which will set them at a good position to win.

If you are serious about blogging, it is far much better to focus on the basics like knowing what is a blog, what is the purpose of a blog and things of that sort. It is from there you will come to see how the blog is able to make you money.

But if you decide to follow only the how-to-make-money blogging aspect, I’m afraid you will likely fall victim to scams and fail terribly. In reality, it is much more than it seems.
