For example, you have a good site, what I call a ‘Value added first’ site. You give something of good value in your information. People learn to trust this and thus you gain brand loyalty and more traffic.

The splogs, will fade and wither.

I also run a ‘value added first’ blog and give away a lot of good information that I see sold on other sites.

Because I ad value first, my readers are more likely to become customers for my other products.

Sales is just that, sales, but marketing involves building a relationship with your customers, getting them to link to you and bookmark you site or feed.

It’s not easy, but it does pay off.

I’ve seen all too many Make Money Online blogs that don’t even look as though they have much effort put into them at all. As if they have nothing of importance to say but just expect people to drop by and click their adsense.

I for one am sick of seeing dead horses continuously beaten until they are dust in the wind…

It’s like multi-level marketing. Each of the big A-Lister has their ‘downline’ who’ll buy their crappola and try to do the same thing, only to fail.

Contrary to what Raj said above, although there are quite a few of these sites to be found via Entrecard, I’ve found many great NON-make money online sites through Entrecard as well.
