Truth is this market place is saturated and we do not need any more, if you are doing it for adsense money each click will be worth pennies, but if you exploit an underrepresented niche your site is more likely to succedd

I thought about this and, well, I am afraid too that there is just not enough space for make money online bloggers anymore.. Or is there. I mean, every day, somebody will turn 18 and is allowed to go to a bar.. So, everyday, there will be more people looking to make money online.. Automatically making the market larger. Or, am I not correct with that statement?

I've not come across many of these make money online blogs but how can western people make money online when $10 = a sandwhich and drink to them and $5 = a weeks worth of work to those people in poorer countries.

With the internet being an even marketplace for everyone to compete, these factors play an important role.

I like seeing all the Make Money Online Blogs. I think there are still plenty of money flowing in this business.

I think that there are two reasons why there are so many Make Money Online blogs. The first reason is that what we are interested in. If you are trying to make money online, it almost becomes an obsession. People turn start doing a make money blog because that is what they are in to.

The second reason is that the A listers in the make money online crowd don't give sufficient examples of how to make money using a niche outside the make money space. We all see how the successful make money bloggers pimp new affiliate programs, ebooks and software tools, but we never actually learn how to monetize other niches. There is a real need for this type of information. The problem is that people don't want to show their niches. But, is it really going to affect you that much to open up a little bit more? I don't think so.

Just my thoughts,
Fred

Great advice, too bad not that many people want to hear your particular message. Because as you say, they see what John Chow is doing and all they think about is the money.

I admit, I was once like the rest of them too! But I got tired of the herd mentality and decided to go back to my personal blog and just write about stuff that makes me happy.
