6 Reasons Why You’re Not Making Any Money Online Yet by Elite01: 11:31pm On Jan 19, 2017
Wondering Why You Haven’t Made Any Money Online? – Read On!

Although it is possible to make money online, a lot of bloggers or small business owners fail to do so. What usually happens is that they try for a couple of months without getting any decent results, they get disappointed and they quit.

The main reason of not making money online is because you think is easy and when you realise that it is a lot of work, you get bored and give up.

I’ve been working online for 7 years (since 2010) and based on my experience I can assure you that it is possible to make money online but it also requires a LOT of patience and hard work.

I am going to reveal some cool ideas on “ how to make money online ” as we get close to the future , but for now let’s see why you are yet to make a dime online.

1. You don’t get enough traffic to your website or blog:
To make money you need traffic,this is how the online business model works. If you are selling a high converting product you can make money with only a few visitors per day but if you want to make money from advertising you need a few thousands per day. Without traffic do not expect to make any money online.
When we talk about traffic, in the minds of many people Google is the only way but this is not true. There are many sources of Internet traffic you can use to meet your monetary targets but you need to know where to find them. In my next post I will be revealing the best of many untapped sources of traffic you can utilize to boost your website or your online business – Just get YOUR eyes fixed on my wall!

2. Your website/blog is too young:
Don’t believe in everything you read about making money online. There is no magic way to make thousands in a few months and there is no magic way to make money without doing a lot of hard work. This also means that if you just started a website or blog you will not make money any time soon unless of course you created an exceptional product or website.
From my experience you need at least one year (usually more) of hard work before making any decent amount of money either from AdSense, affiliate programs or through selling your own product.

3. You don’t practice good SEO:
SEO is important for many reasons and if you believe that you can succeed online without following good SEO practices then you are wrong. Everything starts with SEO and I am not referring only to keyword analysis or content marketing but to the bigger picture which includes understanding your customers and using SEO to give them what they want.
The majority of webmasters still make mistakes with SEO despite the plethora of information about proven techniques that work.

4. You are not patient enough:
They say that ‘patience is a virtue’ and when it comes to working online and expecting to make money from it, is more than true. To help you understand how important is to be patient, take into account the following examples:
*.It may take 3-4 months before you start getting any organic traffic from Google or Bing
*.It may take a few months until you build a decent number of Facebook and twitter followers
*.It may take months until you get your first RSS subscriber or comment in your blog
The bottom line is that you need to aim for long term success and forget about any short term temporary results.

5. You always want it FREE:
Most interPRENEURS especially the ones who are just starting out are not ready to spend at any cost to get what they want. If you know you fall in this category or you posses the habit of searching for “ how to make money online without investment or paying anything ” I would advise you abort it NOW if you want to experience a taste of change in your online career. That's to say, SPEND to get what you want – Don't be a parasite!

6. You created your blog/website for the sole purpose of making money online:
Creating a website for the sole purpose of making money online is a thing of the past.
Some years ago you could create a number of blogger sites, publish a few posts, build tens of incoming links and make money through Adsense, Amazon affiliate stores or other affiliate promotions. It was a model that worked for a couple of years and some people who were clever and fast enough to understand this, made enough money. This model does no longer work.
You cannot start a website for the sole purpose of adding Adsense or promoting a particular product or anything similar to this. Your website or blog needs to have a purpose which goes beyond making money. You need to create something that adds value to the user by offering good content, free services and incentives for the user to come and visit your web site again and again.
When you do that persistently fora number of months, money will follow. I know that it is difficult to understand this especially if you are a beginner to the online world, but take my word for it there are no shortcuts or overnight tricks.

Don't worry about all that. Take your own blog to google first page. Everything will fall in naturally for me.

Seo is wonderful. But I am not in for some rat race. Thanks

Keywords have long played a central role in SEO, both as a dictatorial force responsible for shaping user search behaviors, and as a strategic focus for businesses looking to get in on the action.

Originally, the mechanics of keywords were fairly straightforward; Google used the frequency of keywords as they appeared throughout the web to determine which sites were associated with which terms, and then applied keywords from user queries to that established database.


Today, the use of keywords is much more complicated. Google’s algorithms have become so complex they now avoid keyword-based associations altogether. While its processes do use the presence of certain words to create a contextual construct for each website, there is a barrier of semantic processing that prevents a direct application.

To explain, when you enter a query in Google, Google no longer tries to pair the keywords in your query to results on the web. Instead, it evaluates the intention behind your query , and then searches for a “best fit” candidate in its network of indexed sites.
For this reason, keyword strategy in the modern era has changed dramatically from what we once knew. However, keywords are still important as a strategic element of any campaign.


It’s no longer a matter of simply injecting your chosen keywords into your site or page as often as possible and in as many places as possible. You need to be tactful and mindful of Google’s algorithmic rules if you want to avoid getting penalized and maximize your chances of getting found through search.


Page titles, h1 tags, and meta descriptions are still important for SEO, but make sure you’re writing them using natural language and try not to include the same keyword repeatedly in an unnatural way.
It’s also a bad idea to duplicate any titles or descriptions. Aside from that, the best way to include keywords on your site or page is in the body copy itself . Again, just be careful not to include the same exact keyword phrases too many times, and keep your emphasis on sounding natural.
