I’m Done……..I’m Shutting Down This Blog………It’s not Worth the Time I put Into It!!!
Posted on January 11th, 2009 in Internet Marketing, MME 'How To' Essays, Traffic, Web Hosting be realistic, dedication, make a plan, perseverance
Unfortunately, that’s what a lot of bloggers say after only a month or two of starting a blog. People today, especially people just starting out online, are looking for “instant gratification”. This simply doesn’t exist on the web, contrary to what the “gugus” (intentionally misspelled), it takes time to build the readership of your blog. It takes work, there’s that four letter word again, but it is the truth.
No matter what niche you are in you have to be patient and execute your plan…… What you don’t have a plan?
That’s your first mistake. when building a blog, before you buy your domain name , before you get you hosting account , before you pick out your template, you need to write down, in a Business Journal, your goals for the blog project. The way you want to monetize your blog. How are you going to get traffic to your blog? How will you capture leads and newsletter subscribers. Figure out what you are going to promote, Clickbank, Amazon, CPA or any other affiliate products, or your own product. The best answer to this is, by the way, is probably a combination of all of them.
Dedication, Desire, and Preparation
Realize that its going to take time. Make sure you really, really have the desire to accomplish your goals. Properly prepare and research your niche before you type even one word of copy.
This blog is almost exactly one month old. Want to know how much money I’ve made from it?….. $467.85
Ok, everybody is saying “that’s it?”.
Sorry, Wrong Attitude completely. I just entered this “make money online niche” so $450 bucks for the first month in such a competitive niche, isn’t that bad, in my opinion, of course I am a realist.
Now there will be times when even after correctly doing all your planning and preparation, the project just doesn’t work. Take for example this forex site I set up in July. I made my plan, I decided how to implement it and guess what?…….it just hasn’t worked out for a number of reasons. So instead of abandoning the site, I am now selling it, just trying to recoup my investment or part of it, at least.
Just remember, making money online, is a business. You wouldn’t abandon an offline business after a month or two would you?
Patience, perseverence, and preparation are the things you have to be dedicated about. If not your online business ventures will not succeed.
