You can’t build a blog in one evening and expect money to roll in. If it was that simple – everybody would be a blogger.
Doing worthwhile things takes a lot of years, and most people give up along the way because the sheer amount of work might not necessarily reward you back. That’s the downside of online work.
If my goal was to make money, I would have been making more flipping burgers at McDonald’s. For me it wasn’t about the huge money, for me it was about doing something for myself rather than for an employer.
Anyone can build a blog if he is willing to work, and a huge blog will attract some eyeballs, the question is if you can monetize all that hard boring work, not a fact that you can’t make a blog.
Everybody working these days wants some monetary reward because working for free in capitalism doesn’t make any sense since everything costs money. Sure there is free stuff, but you can’t complain about something you get for free.
Worthwhile things take years to build, it’s not something you can build in one evening.
