Because for newbie, making money method using blog such build blog for adsense or paid to review is easy. If blog can't be used for earning, newbie should learn affiliate marketing/flipping site (advance internet business method i think :P)

I was a newbie, blogging wasn't a major part in my education. Forums were. There are tons of ways to learn internet marketing, not just through blogs. In reality, blogs may be prominent, but they really aren't "essential."

yes, not just through blogs but the most easy for newbie is blog. Other internet business using no blog is :

- affiliate marketing --> of course it's hard for newbie, since need research, promote link, etc..and if there is no blog, newbie should make own site, which impossible for newbie to make good site.

- freelancing --> easy but you know that freelancing take too long time just for low earning

- direct product sellihg --> extremely hard : research, investment (mostly newbie is fear to invest), setting site, setting membership system (member area, cpanel), upload/hosting,etc...

So for the question of How would you have made money online if there was no blogging, i definitely say that it's available, but not easy than if using blog

I have to agree, it would be very hard for a newbie to actually make money online without blogging. Blogging is now free, and you can get money from it. Blogging is what got me interested in internet jobs. I think it has opened my eyes to this huge world on the internet.

so riccur is one voice with me

...
anyway but to remind, not all free blog used for making money purpose. Example is free wordpress, it's forbid you to make it as money making blog. You will get banned if do that

So, you're interested on online job because blogging? What is your first online business then? Just wanna know.

Riccur and Akira, sorry, I'm going to disagree.

Flipping is incredibly easy. I'm not just going to say that, either, I'm going to back it up. One of my mates wanted to make some money, so I told him to do freelancing but he didn't get many jobs (I think he got one small order). At that point, I was flipping my 3rd site, so I knew it could be successful, so I directed my friend (a complete newb) to it. He made $40 in his first flip, $50 in his next, and $60 in his third. I mean, yes, I gace him a few tips, but nothing he wouldn't be able to find on the internet anyway...

I agree it would be difficult but even a newbie can flip sites. Just knowing the basics will do I suppose

I should really agree with your point Simon. Every newbie who knows just the basics can make wonders. I mean can flip sites

I think $50 or whatever is really really a bad flip. You can make 700$ on an average per flip. (That's for me, but other people make more)

Agreed. I've done a couple of big flips ($450), but I find the smaller ones ($60) are great if you do loads of them, as they hardly require any time or effort.

BTW, either way, I think making $40/50/60 on your first three flips is pretty good, considering he had no experience what-so-ever
