I don’t know about you, but I could probably think up a couple hundred ways to use $200 a day…
Steve Pavlina (a favorite PD blogger that I’d suggest to just about anyone) throws up yet another excellent article, this time on making money from his blog. Nothing in the article is going to offer you an earth-shattering insight into making that first billion online, but it sure offers a ton of info for the budding online entrepreneur.
The most surprising thing I read was his distaste for blog comments until I thought about it a bit. I can definitely see that by the time you’ve reached the level of traffic he draws, comments would become a huge opportunity cost, especially with his level of output (for instance, his making money from his blog article is 7,300+ words long!). But I’m going to bet that the initial community surrounding the comments helped build the traffic level he has today.
Along those same lines, MyMoneyBlog picks on one of my big shortcomings: [tag]fear of failure[/tag]. For whatever reasons, I tend to be excessively conservative and tend to second guess myself all the time. I’ve got several ideas, financial & otherwise, that I’d pursue but for that voice in my head telling me “Nah, that’ll never work, so don’t even bother…” I’m thinking a good goal for, well, ever is to silence or at least learn to ignore that voice and take a few more [tag]risks[/tag].
