		<description>Starting out can be hard, especially when you get little response or results for all your effort.

Making it online is slow if you dont go the blackhat way, but the rewards of doing it honestly is sure to come and long lasting.

Keep going Eric, you'll laugh last.

		<description>If you love to blog and you enjoy it, it really isn't a waste of time.  If you're blogging for money and you're not making any money, well that's another question...

		<description>Don't let them get you down! The trick is to just find what you like and stick to it. You can't take care of anyone else until you take care of yourself. Looks like your site is doing good!</description>

		<description>Pretty much everyone thinks it's a joke. My dad didn't believe I was making any money blogging until he say my 1099. Now he's got about 10 blogs of his own. Just keep at it and ignore anyone who doesn't really know what's going on.</description>

		<description>I definitely agree with Rod..quality information is key and you just have to keep your determination and good things will come to you.

I find that writing about things that are somewhat controversial/subjects that I am interested in often get lots of attention because people like to express their opinions whether agreeing or disagreeing with you. 

Keep it up!</description>

		<description>It can have a tendency to be a long hard grind, even when you hear about people who make tons of money just a couple of months after starting a blog.  The important thing to remember is that they're the exception and not the rule.

Quality information, hard work, and yeah, a bit of luck is going to take you further.  And once it starts to snowball, things can really pick up quickly.</description>

		<description>@Frank C: yeah i've definately noticed a change in my girlfriend's attitude since i wrote this post.. between then and now i signed up for BloggingZoom (as you obviously know) and when i explained to her what the service did, and what it ended up doing to my traffic on the first day of submitting my content there, she was quite suprised and seemed a little more interested in this whole thing i'm trying to accomplish.

and now that i've added AdSense and a few other things i'm working on, not to mention a few ideas i've got for upcoming posts, i think she'll start to see what i'm going for and she'll be much more supportive.

as always, thanks for the comment :)</description>

		<description>People who know you well can often be your toughest critic. They usually do this out of love because they don't want to see you hurt. You'll most often get this kind of discouragement from a parent or spouse but sometimes from other friends and family.

My wife was skeptical at first, saying stuff like "Isn't blogging something junior high girls do?", but, as she sees earnings coming in she's becoming less and less skeptical. Showing that you're working toward your goal and showing results will get them behind you in most cases.</description>
