Are you feeling frustrated, lost & nothing has change since you decided to make money online?

Posted by admin | Articles | Wednesday 18 February 2009 1:15 AM


Most of us started motivated to make money online. After a while of reading, reading and reading you decided to give up. You feel lost as there are too many information available online and so many ways to make money online, this is what we call information overload. The more you read the more you get frustrated, as times goes by you feel there is no way that you can succeed making money online.

I found this pieces of advice from Yaro Starak very useful to all of us who intend to make money online, be it in affiliate marketing, blogging or etc. We must put all the information we gather into ACTION and not READ and THINK.

You must have a plan or I call it a schedule of the things that you must complete on daily basis. Put everything your read & learn into action.

There’s something that really frustrates me. You want to know what it is?

It’s you.

Well, not you exactly. What I mean is the majority of people who have ever purchased an educational product online.

I wasn’t going to launch a blog mentoring program for one very good reason – there is so much free information already online about how to make money blogging, how to drive traffic to blogs and just general blogging tips, I thought what’s the point?

Who will join my program when there is so much free content out there already?

Then I realized something.

If there’s so much free information out there already, why aren’t more people enjoying success with their blogs? Why aren’t there more professional bloggers? Why isn’t it NORMAL for people to earn a full time income from blogging?

It comes down to two issues:

  1. Blogging for profit isn’t easy. It can be simple, but you do have to work at it and do certain things well.
  2. Most people read all the great free information about blogging and then don’t do anything with it, or even if they do they don’t do it consistently enough.

The fact is most people, for whatever reason (lack of self esteem, lazy, distractions), don’t put enough effort into something to become good at it and enjoy the rewards. That’s why those that do make a good living online are the exceptions, the people others idolize and follow hoping some of the “magic” will wear off on them.

Of course those who have the “magic” know there is no magic, they just did certain things often enough to get results and then did more things and are still doing more things today.

All this thinking lead me to believe that despite all the free information out there, there is definitely room for a blog mentoring program because people need to be told what to do.

Just reading articles about great blogging will not turn you into a great blogger. That’s why free information fails.

I hate to say it, but most of what we read online from blogs is entertainment for people because they prefer to read and think rather than study and do.

Even when I tell people how I got a certain result by writing an article about it on my blog or newsletter, most people read it and go -

“Yeah, Yaro has a great idea there, I should try it out once…”

Yet they don’t.

There are a few highly motivated and successful (or soon to be successful) people who do take action after studying the work of other bloggers, but sadly most don’t. Your goal is to become one of the people that do.

One of the best “antidotes” to this problem is pain.

Pain causes action. It motivates people to do something to stop the pain or take action to realize an outcome that made experiencing the pain worthwhile.

I don’t mean physical pain – although that certainly motivates – I’m referring to other discomforts like parting with some of your hard earned money. This is often called pain money, a price you pay to join or buy something.

The act of paying makes you more inclined to actually do something and take what you learn seriously. You need to feel satisfied that you recouped your investment cost and to do this you take action.

It’s for this reason that I’m charging people if they want to learn what I know about making money blogging.

I could put out every single piece of information I have prepared for Blog Mastermind as free content on my blog. No doubt it would increase my traffic, people would leave comments thanking me for the great information and I’d increase the money I make from my blog from advertising, etc.

The problem is this won’t achieve my goal of actually forcing people to become better bloggers and to earn big money through blogging.

I want my students to focus on active learning, not passive. That means going out and doing what I suggest. Testing techniques for yourself, learning from your results and seeing what works for your blog and your personality.

By paying the price of admission you form a contract with yourself and with me to take action and focus only on the information you need to achieve your goals.

This is not about finding and consuming all the information about professional blogging, or even the best information, only the specific information you need right now to get an OUTCOME. Consuming information should only take up a small part of your day. One or two lessons each day is all you need. The rest of the time should be spent actioning those ideas. That’s it.

Working on your blog business is 30-60 minutes of study and 1-2 hours of implementation. If you do it right and focus on results you will be rewarded so much more than if you spend your entire day hunting around and consuming all the free information available online.

This is not about quantity or even quality of information – it’s about focus and ACTION.

The 80/20 Rule

I first formed the mentality discussed in this article after studying the 80/20 rule. If you want to read more about this rule, here’s an article I wrote about it -

What Is The 80/20 Rule And Why It Will Change Your Life

Focused Information

If you are expecting a massive quantity of information from me in Blog Mastermind you will be disappointed. The program is not about providing you with everything I know about making money from blogs, but what you NEED to know to make it work in the least number of steps.

It’s about focus, forming the right mentality and work habits, and aiming for a certain result at each stage of growth of your blogging business.

And it’s coming very soon.
