Heya, my blog is more of a political blog but I hope that it provides value or at least ethics. I cannot say that it really provides anything in the Make money online category, but I’d like to hope that someday it would provide some sort of value in its niche.

In a perfect world, I agree, everyone would provide value. Unfortunately, my surfing of late has uncovered far more blogs with no interest in providing value. I would have to attribute this to the insane increase in paid blogging services that make it much easier for beginners to make a quick buck with paid links instead of creating thoughtful content.

There are more than a few ways to make money (and definitely more than pocket change) without providing value to the Web. However, providing value is the way to go if you are interested in seeing long-term results.

Its unfortunate, but many if not most online entrepreneurs don’t offer valuable content. I believe in the old adage “content is king” and wouldn’t structure a business around anything other than content that people will find truly valuable, regardless of the niche. This a very inspiring post and I hope that people coming into this business will take note and follow what has been shared here, so thank you.

If at all there is a problem, I believe that it is due to treating this as something different from any other business. If you treat your online business like any other business, say a Mom and Pop stores, unless you give value for money, who will visit you? Perhaps those who may not have a choice, but, I believe that kind of visitor will be short lived and will actively encourage a competitor to set up shop.

You say in the post “That doesn’t mean you can’t make money without providing value but” - I don’t see how anyone can make more than pocket change without providing value. I’d say that all of the truly successful entrepreneurs do provide value in some way otherwise I dont see how they could survive. Of course, some always provide more than others…
