Sounds like you are doing some good stuff with your fence business, and what you're doing there seems to be working well.

Online learning is definitely a big opportunity, whether it is teaching people about blogs or about language…etc.

What you are talking about makes sense to me…blogging to build a platform and share some experiences. It's the blogging about blogging without experience that really gets to me.

Being a blogger for a couple of years, it wasn't blogging that made me money directly, but I attribute blogging to bringing my simple little fence contracting business to the top of the Google searches, that made me plenty of money. I got so covered up, I had to actually subcontract out my work just so I could exclusively deal with estimates, purchasing and billing myself. That is what blogging did for me, and it had nothing to do with blogging about blogging, so you are spot on with that statement.

Last year I sold that business to get into ecommerce (yes for fence products) and after less than 6mos, I am making money with it. I am not boasting, and I hope no one decides to try to get into fence products here but what I am saying, is that what the “A-Listers” (you know I hate that term) say is true, go into something you already know about.

Personally, I think real products are where it is with online earning. And while I know a few people that make great money with ads and affiliates, it took them 6x longer to do it.

Yeah, I write about blogging now too, but I have been blogging for a couple of years. Does that make me an expert, probably not, but I have spent countless hours researching, sleepless nights networking, and have read I don't know how many articles and books. I used that information to propel a small business, not create a site to plaster ads all over.

Anyway, it's late, and I am probably rambling….
