Rather that simply railing against how this sale is destined to be a waste of money, you offer up some constructive advice on for how Marc may be able to make things work. I really like this post.

Or could he be reading the four blogs and quietly building BANS sites and Adsense sites and recouping his 10k? Hey Marc, give a shout out, will ya?

He should have used part of the money to get sound professional advice before throwing that huge some into a venture he obviously know little or nothing about. Yes it is possible to make money blogging, even in the overcrowded MMO niche, but POSSIBLE is not the same thing as EASY.

There were so many better options out there to make money online. A single blog in the "make money online" niche is probably one of the worst options to choose if you want to actually make money online. Well, we all make mistakes and it's best to make them while you're young and single like Marc appears to be. Hi Dave,

Wow.I've seen his video and he works as a bartender and real estate person, so it's probably not a pain financially but in his heart he's got to feel that $27 as a stinging blow.

He has had an opportunity to educate himself and perhaps correct his error but he seems to be refusing it. You should have asked him if he would have bought a house without doing a title search and a termite inspection. What he's done with that blog amounts to the same thing. Really, the last thing the MMO niche needs is yet another noob doing the "documenting my journey" thing. How many sites are there that do this, 100, 200, 1000 or more. He should have video blogged about bartending if he want to work in a truly "underserved market". There is a huge, mostly untapped, market in online instructional and how-to videos in many niches, however, "Make Money Online" isn't one of them. Hi Emma,

This range from building niche marketing sites, to doing pay-per-click to even doing certain types of ecommerce. For example, $10K would buy you a lot of BANS sites and niche Adsense blogs, we'll say around 400 sites as a nice figure. If each only earned an average of $1 a day this would easily earn you an income of about $10,000 a month plus you would still have a substantial chunk of cash available from your original $10K. Plus a huge portion of that monthly cash flow would be profit. Of course, this wouldn't make you famous online. As I mentioned in the article, if the "being famous online" course is the one that Marc is setting out upon, he does have a leg up with this purchase. However, I seriously doubt that he will make that much doing so. In fact, I think he'll be lucky to make more than what he would make flipping burgers at a local McDonalds, roughly $8-10/hr. As for 1000 articles, if they're on Making Money Blogging they won't help much. I did 200 articles here on OpTempo the first month although I've slowed down a lot from that original pace now. Guess which articles get the most search engine traffic and the most advertising conversions? Hint, it's not the ones about blogging. Guess which articles of mine this month have gotten the most search traffic this month. Once again, it's not the ones about blogging. Hi Siva,
