"There is plenty of talk online about blogging being an excellent opportunity for the average person to make money online, and I know many Blogtrepreneur readers are bloggers themselves. In general, I agree that there is money to be made for the blogger that is willing to put in the effort and have the patience for real results. However, I also feel that there is a downside to this approach that doesn’t get enough attention."

The main downside of starting a blog for money is surely the fact that lots of other people are doing it and there is no reason why anyone should keep coming back to your blog when they have several thousand others to choose from. Reader loyalty is the real holy grail for making your blog a financial success.
