Blogs that make money

I came across this site that speaks about a couple different blogs. I was a bit astounded. Mind you, I'm actively gobbling up anything and everything about ebiz stuff that I can, but multiple 100k/mo plus blogs kinda blew me away after looking at them, as that is my net goal per month from my ebiz ventures.

Maybe I am my own problem? I was thinking along the lines of some sort of service biz would be needed to generate that kind of monthly income (probably gross though).

From that thought alone, it's looking like my thinking may need to change a bit in order for my plan to reflect my intended reality.

Care to shed some light, ye seasoned ebiz'ers? Please. Thank You!

And it hit me like a ton of bricks! I was going to edit my above post to ask MJ what did he do when he was figuring out how to scale ebusinesses.

A quick reference to EP would have me believe his intent was on providing more value, not learning the mindset to create a scalable ebiz plan.

What does it take to permanently change one's mindset? I.E., in reference to that concept, I often catch myself oversteering back into the rut of chasing money. (yes, you can use that line in your book! HAHA)

Am I that much of a money hungry bastard? Geesh!

It's times like this that the wheels are spinning off a hard launch, didn't turn on the traction control, and I can't feather a clutch worth a damn! Hence, going nowhere.

Let me have a swing at these quesions...


1. Maybe I am my own problem? I was thinking along the lines of some sort of service biz would be needed to generate that kind of monthly income (probably gross though).

While services do generally make the most profit of any business known to man due to the fact of the low overhead and the lack of inventory, there is another growing trend. The way that I like to look at blogs/webinars is that people are not looking to get rich off of what they recieve for this site, and they're not trying to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE in the world. More or less, they are looking for a viable outlet for their current thoughts and or questions. You for instance, are an example. Did you come on this site thinking that it is going to make you rich? Or, did you come on this site to get a wealth of information that could potentially turn your ideas, or ideals, into something feasable and scalable? I hope the latter. People love public outlets, it makes it easier to communicate, while it is still personal communication, its not interpersonal to a point of making someone uncomfortable about their conversations. Its the internet, just delete it

Your mind seems to be on the right track, the key to creating any business is planning properly in advanced and sticking to it. The worst thing that you can do is get into a business and pick up 30 different services because you think it will make you rich, faster. That's not always the case. In my experience its better to centralize and focus your efforts on one goal, expound upon that, then make a move to something else once you've done sufficient homework.

2.What does it take to permanently change one's mindset?

It takes one thing and one thing only. You have to 100% trust your judgement when you finally find the route to take with your business. Its easy to say, 'Im going to provide this service, and this service, but thats it' What you have to do is STICK TO IT. Dont jump, skip, or even think about delving into another field. You have to know in the beginning that you made a sound decision. Sit down one night, spend a couple of hours realistically thinking about your monetary goals. Once you do this, then know inside your heart (and wallet of course) that you have made the right decision. Be your biggest supporter of making this thing work. Once you believe that you have truely found the path you want to take, and it will work, you will finally be able to start your business and never look back.

Look at it this way, if you go into a business and always second guess yourself, you're going no where.

YOU CAN NOT LOOK BEHIND YOU AND WANDER WHAT IF, FOR THE CHANCES OF MISSING WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU.

A new day, and new dollar.

Hope this helps,
