I think this is true to a point, but there are other things that truly result from luck. I mean, look at stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com. The author's motive wasn't even to make money at all, just to put up some amusing blog posts to share with friends. Now he's looking at a book deal and was able to put some advertising on his site even though wordpress hosted blogs don't usually have that, because it's been such a wild success. While I will agree that traditionally hard work is essential in a payoff, sometimes there are the people out there who just happen to have that one idea that catches on and spreads like wildfire, and they laugh all the way to the bank.

Well, most of the things that you told are true. However, there are people who would want to differ. However, basically it all depends on the effort we put in. So, whether its blogging or the web guru status, if we put in hard work, I feel, we can make money. No easy though.

@ Lais – There are many, many countries in the world where what flies in one doesn’t fly in another. While I’d love to write to a fully international audience and be accurate with my advice, I can’t. I don’t know what it’s like to live in Japan or Africa or Siberia or Brazil, and I’m sure that most of our posts are inapplicable to most of those places.

But I understand your frustration. As a Canadian, I am continually and constantly barraged by U.S. information, views, opinions and advice on the Internet that just doesn’t apply to my culture or country. Makes me grit my teeth.

I’m afraid hard working doesn’t exactly works well here on Brazil. At least, I know a plenty of people who work day and night (without any breaks) and just can’t have enough money to eat. Opportunities are just too unfair around here. Anyway, I’ll follow your advice. First because I REALLY enjoy hard working. Second because, hm, it’s not like I have a choice. But hey! This was really a great post, Harry! Thanks for sharing!
