For example, some people have Internet businesses for years, but aren't making any money, while others are making money after just a few months. Once you look into the amount of energy the two put into the business it becomes apparent why the successful person is successful. You're absolutely right though... and even more right when it comes to Blogging. It is definitely a business that takes a lot of giving first before you start seeing anything flow back, but if you're a person who enjoys giving anyways it's a pretty natural process. @Elijah: I prefer to quantify it by saying that it takes “Energy”, not necessarily time.

It took me several months of sifting through the hype and sales copy to realize, like any other business industry, that it will take some work, some money, and A WHOLE LOT OF TIME! The biggest investment into an e-business or monetizing a site is the time it takes.

People expect to see immediate results, or comments because they figure they've taken the time to write it so why not? Stick with it, do some marketing or "spreading the word" even if its basic, and keep your posts semi-regular... it won't happen over night but eventually you will start to see some interest from the public and at that point when you have comments and back links from readers, the rewards will begin to present themselves. Great post Paul. When you’re first getting into the blogosphere, it’s hard to find the motivation and faith that people care or need your opinions and advice.

Stick with it, do some marketing or “spreading the word” even if its basic, and keep your posts semi-regular… it won’t happen over night but eventually you will start to see some interest from the public and at that point when you have comments and back links from readers, the rewards will begin to present themselves.

Great post Paul.
