internet marketing strategies

Even though I will jump up and down with excitement about this blogging business and tell you all day long that blogging is the greatest business in the world, I'm not going to kid you. There is a lot more to blogging and internet marketing strategies I think it's fair to forewarn you ... it's not going to be a complete cake walk getting started, even with the intensive coaching program like you would find on Blogchise.com and with the incredible blogging tools and all of the exciting avenues created to help make your blogging life much easier than you'll ever be able to imagine.

There are no "easy buttons" in life. I wasted years and thousands of dollars learning that lesson the hard way. There are no easy buttons, but you can make a lot of money in this business if you can develop that unstoppable, perseverance attitude ... and ... follow directions.

I'm going to hype up blogging, but I'm also going to tell you the truth. Obviously, I'm excited about blogging and I'm excited for anyone who has the passion to get into blogging. But, you need to know the truth, and right up front.

Blogging for income is work in the beginning. It's a business, and you will have to treat it like a business. But, don't let that discourage you, because, if you love this business, and you love what you do, it won't feel like work at all. You will feel that same excitement I feel about getting into my home office every day.

Blogging is a business and it takes a lot of work in the beginning getting set up. Also, like any business, you will have to continually operate it to make money. You get out of this business what you put into it.

If you eventually decide to get into blogging for income, you absolutely have to come into this business with a realistic attitude, and not expect it to happen overnight. You will be setting yourself up for failure if you expect the money to pile up overnight. Perseverance is the main key to being a successful blogger.

You have the potential to make as much money or more as any pilot, doctor, lawyer or engineer within a year or two, if you are smart about this process.

Your blogging success will be based on your wise choices once you learn the secrets to blogging. It's all about your choices while going through the process. I could tell you all the secrets and give you everything on a silver platter, but you still need to make the right choices along the way.

Developing a new mindset will help you hang in there for the duration while you become a successful blogger. Better things will happen in your life when you can learn to grind it out to the finish line.

Let's think of things like this: if you go to college for four long years, and you pay all of that money to get a degree, if you are lucky, you will probably get a job making around $35,000 per year. If you are really lucky, you will get a job earning slightly more, depending on your degree and who hires you.

If you get a job working for "the man", you will need to do exactly what "the man" tells you to do. That means, you will be doing things every day that the boss will be telling you exactly how the company wants it done, and you might not like what you do.

Your job will be W-O-R-K, work. You will be working at least 8 hours per day, and probably more if you are on salary, especially in this day and age with many corporate big dogs taking advantage of people more and more. You will be fighting traffic every day, twice a day. You will probably work under constant pressure and stress. But the bottom line is, you will be working under the direction of some stranger (boss) who will be telling you exactly what to do, with every task you do. Let me reiterate that ... with every task you do, you will be following someone else's orders. That means you will be following directions and learning all kinds of new things to do, for more than 8 hours per day. Did you catch that last sentence? You will be learning new things all the time.

So, for 8 hours per day, if you have to constantly take orders and follow directions, and learn new things all the time, why not get into blogging for the potential of making more money than any degreed position will ever pay you? You will be going through all of the same process of learning new things and constantly following directions until you learn your entire job, but the only difference is that you give yourself that opportunity to earn a lot more money, and you get to be your own boss!

If you get a job working for "the man", you might not even like your job, and you might have to keep that job just to support your family, or the lifestyle you've imprisoned yourself in.

You could be your own boss and do the same amount of work, and give yourself a chance to earn more money than any professional job would pay. You have that opportunity right now, in the safety and comfort of your own home, or in some coffee shop, or anywhere you want. You could even travel the world and still operate your business like many bloggers do, and have fun.

I guess the big question is, do you want some boss telling you how to do things all day long, or do you want to be your own boss running through basically the same processes of learning new things?
