It must be quite rare for a blog to start by talking about what it is not. This blog is NOT about

• How to leave your job and start the next infosys
• How to earn millions of dollars online
• Fast, easy  and sure method to make a fortune online

If you are looking for tips about any of the 3 above, then please STOP reading this blog now. Honestly I have no clue about how to become a billionaire and even if I knew, I am not stupid enough to share that secret with you for free.

My credential

You must be wondering what gives me the right to preach to you. I run 3 decently successful websites about walkin interviews, second hand bikes and used mobiles in India and I earn around 2000-3000 USD per month (approximately Rs. 1,00,000 per month) from these sites. I am not a genius or exception.

There are number of Indian bloggers who make more than 1,000$ a month from their blog, without leaving their job.I have already covered this topic in detail on my post about how people like us are making money online.

Please do not let the above paragraph make you believe that making money from blogging is easy. For every blogger who makes 1,000$ a month, there are at least nine other bloggers who do not make any money or make negligible amount of money.

Making money online is not easy. You will need to put in effort to make money from blogging. There is no guarantee of the same though.

It is perfectly OK if you are not sure if you will succeed or not. I was not sure if I can make any money from mywalkin or not. There is one question that had helped me to go ahead without being certain about success and I hope the same question will help you to make the decision as well.

What is the cost of Failure?

Being a middleclass person, I always find myself asking the question “what if it does not work out?” To me the most interesting thing about online ventures is the low cost of failure. Even if you start a blog and fail, still you would have lost less than 100$ only. I hope you are in a situation where 100$ will not make a material difference to your life.If that is the case, go ahead and give it a try.

As we go along you shall realize that money is not the only benefit of starting a blog. A blog allows you to get to know people who share your passion for the same topic, you will learn a lot more about internet, the medium of future communication and most importantly it gives you an excuse to stay in touch with your favorite topic. All these benefits hold true even if you fail to make money.

I shall be telling you the exact steps that I used to create the income of 2000-3000$ a month while continuing in job in the next few posts. If you do not want to miss any of them, then add your email in the box below and my posts will automatically get delivered to your mailbox as soon as I publish them.

I can not leave my job to make money online

I am sure you have heard of people who make millions of dollars on the internet. I had heard these stories as well. Instead of encouraging me, those stories ended up intimidating me. The success of these guys is too grand and spectacular that I thought I will never succeed without leaving my job. I am not yet ready to leave my job to work on the internet fulltime.

This article is about people like us

That is why I have put together this article about people like us who are making money online. These guys are not famous because they do not make millions. They make any where between 400 to 600  dollars a month. What makes them so special to me is that like me they have not left their daily job to make those money online.

People like us are making money online, every month, without leaving their job

• Madhur is a 23 year old computer engineer from Lucknow (see his about me page) and he was making more than 600$ a month in February 2009 itself. I am confident that he will be making more than that by now. Madhur blogs about technology.
• Nihar is another IT professional who had been making more than 600$ in June 2009. The important thing to observe is that he writes about all most everything under the sun including cricket and bollywood.
• MyTechquest is a blog which was started as a personal blog by a student bored with the semester studies and it has earned 400 USD in January 2010 already.

Why I am not giving proof of my own income

Because enough people have given proof of their own income and most of the time it tends to be photoshoped image of their actual earning. I did not want to create that sort of a discussion here and that is why I have collected some of earnings proof that were already published way before I even thought about the idea of this blog.
