Reading about Making Money Online


Reading Online Income Blogs Addiction

It's my guilty pleasure... I'm an addict, and I can't stop, and I'm sure I'm not alone in my addiction: Reading Make Money Online blogs. It's one of my favorite ways to waste time. I'm thoroughly addicted, and I don't think I can stop. I read everything I can about making money online. I read the posts, I check the comments, I follow the links, I share my thoughts, I do just about everything except what I should be doing: Grinding away at making online profits.

I think it's a habit we all get into in this business. Since most of us are self taught, and the hard way at that, we have spent countless hours reading and searching on the internet for how to do things, what works, what doesn't, learning from others experiences. When we finally get enough information to do it ourselves... well it's hard to break the habit of reading those danged Make Money Online blogs.

You know what they are going to say, most of them recycle the same old crap, some actually do recycle the same old crap with PLR articles... but that's another story. I honestly just enjoy reading about how to make money online. But it is a HUGE time waster, like getting all involved in this social media craze. Fun as all getout, but adds no real value to your online income margins.

Don't get me wrong, reading make money online blogs is a very important part of staying in the game. You have to stay ahead of the curve, or at least not get left behind. So you have to keep up on the industry. But when it all boils down, how much time do we spend reading other peoples work instead of doing our own?

Break the habit! Do the work!

Earning income online is about hard work, it's about focusing your efforts, managing your time, and putting your head down and just doing it. This is a competitive game, and it is constantly changing. We all would do well to read a little less, and work a little more.

The whole niche about writing about how to make money online is a strange one at that. And now you have blogs (this one included) who write about writing about earning online income. And at this very moment I am writing about reading about writing about how to make online profit. How's that for a twisted little game?

My Favorite Four letter word: Balance

It's a balancing act. Reading and experimenting with new things to stay ahead of the game, and doing the actual work to stay IN the game. What has worked for me is to find just the blogs that really hit the nail on the head, that always are on the edge of this online money making game and read them. I don't waste my time on these other crap blogs and sites that keep spouting off: "Dofollow comments" "Directory Submissions" "Article Directories" "blah blah blah"

If everybody does it, know what? It's probably wrong.

Seriously, our time is better spent finding a niche and filling it with something of value. Putting well researched articles up that actually make us some money, instead of reading about how others are "supposedly" making money online.

Have a dang original thought instead of reading other's. For instance let's get real, more and more people are adblind! When is the last time you clicked on adsense? I don't even see the stuff, I hardly notice it anymore. If it doesn't work on you, what would work on you? Figure it out and do it. Facebook ads, Technorati's new CPC network, EXTREMELY targeted affiliate links, niche social media sites... Stay ahead of the curve. Don't waste your time reading about it. JUST DO IT! That's what all the big guys in this industry have done, and it is the only secret to making money online

Trust me, you will be better off for it.

Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.

The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.
