When I started working on the internet just over a year ago, there was no way I would have ever imagined the amount of money there is to be made online. With little or no experience what so ever I started by creating two blogger blogs and thought that they would grow to make millions. Needles to say that only a few days into the game I noticed that making even a few cents with my blogs was extremely hard. The main reason why I had failed and consequently lost hope was that I didn’t take the time to read and research about blogging, I was too much in the hurry to make money.
- Read what experience bloggers have to say about the blogosphere
- Understand that there is no such thing as get rich quickly
- Read good material constantly - Start small and grow from there
- Learn from the mistakes of other bloggers
If you take the time to search around you will notice that 90 percent of all the information needed to be a successful blogger is offered free of charge on the internet. Bloggers are known for sharing information, all you have to do is keep your eyes open and read. The other 10 percent can only be obtained by personal experience or from paid sources. Good free sources include:
- Digital Point forum
- Shoemoney
- Problogger
- Seo Book
To learn from your own experiences requires practice, patience and endurance, while buying information only requires money. I personally prefer the first, but many people would agree that in order to obtain a competitive edge over competitors all information is insufficient. I think that the best bloggers not only learn from their mistakes but also buy information to give them a competitive edge over their competitors. Some good sources of information include:
- Aaron Wall’s SEO Book
- Affiliate project X
As I’m sure you will understand I only mentioned a few good references for each section because there are literally hundreds of paid and free resources worth reading. Which ones you choose to use is up to you, but what has worked for me fairly well was to combine a little from both worlds. For example, I would never have known what I do about SEO if not for Aaron Wall’s SEO Book. There was a lot of free information on the net about SEO but only Aaron’s book gave me the information I needed to propel my blogs/sites to a new level. To conclude, don’t forget that information is king and if you want to join the big boys you’ll need truck loads of it.
