Why I'll never make money.

[Ramsweb]

I had a nice site that was making me money and it got sandboxed. I was in a slump for about 2 weeks, just waiting for it to come back, it didn't - got pissed and now I have 6 sources bringing me great traffic - failure should motivate you, it might stress you at first but you can use it to be successful with the right mind set .....

stop being dejected

You guys are awesome! Trolls in most other forums would have told him to jump off a cliff or something, good thing that was kept to a minimum here.

 

[Sanitarium]

To the OP:

I'll get you started. In your original post you had 181 words you typed. Type 181 more and you have a first hand account of the thousands of people that want to make money but can't find the motivation. In other words, you'll have your first article.

Funny, more proof his probs got nothing to do with laziness if he managed to sit there and open the thread. But he won't tell daddy what is wrong.

Yep, I think I only read one "jump off a cliff" post. See, there is always going to be at least one ignorant idiot like that poster.

Anyway, as was mentioned OP, identifying the problem is the first step. Now you have to identify WHY the problem exists. You're too lazy, but WHY are you too lazy. I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I wouldn't really call myself lazy per se, but more of a procrastinator. One of the reasons for this is fear of failure and a lack of instant reward.

Honestly, the best advice I can give to both of us, is just f*cking do it. Start small, work your way up. You're REALLY lazy, start REALLY small. Day one: set up a domain. 5 minutes if that. Take a day or two off after that if you need to. Then set up a blog, etc. Once you start, you might find that you'll want to keep going.

Remember: things in motion, stay in motion

I'm sure you could be rich beyond your wildest dreams..depends how badly you want it!

 

[ScrapeBoss]

You have as well said it all. You will never make money if you don't act. In addition, making money online requires being creative as well. Try to do something different from others. Don't follow the crowd or you will get lost. Separate yourself and look at those things that others are doing and see what you can do different. All the so-called blueprints cannot help you because thousands of internet marketers are following the same principles and everyone is back to square zero. My own formula is being creative and be different. That is what has made me succeed.

First get a starting budget to work with...
Then decide to go for a method...
Set up your environment to go for this method
and GO !
should it fail....
Go for method nr 2 and so on....

 

[eloquenceeee]

Start doing something and stop reading posts!

 

[tayuyaa]

Wow guys, I never though my thread could bring so many replies, I know that all you said is true and I already know all of this thing as I said in the first post. The problem is that I want results immediately after I started, so that is an other problem, but hey, I know I can do make money and I will, yesterday I was in bad mood but today it's better, even if I'm again here and I do not know why, I'll do something today and stick with it in for several weeks.

The one who said that I should write about 'why I cant make money' and write articles about this topic is 100% right but i'm sure some guys will pick my post hehe.

Well thank you all guys, I see you when I succeed !!!!!

Manage your time. Always swimming in IM lake all the time without making your first buck or a few bucks is dangerous and will surely will get drown....and unless your daddy,mommy,big bro. is payin the bills practically everyone need to make money working offline (9-5 job). And work only couple of hours for IM businees and reading the great black WISDOM from the legendary BHW members....

Keeping a balance with reality or practicability & IM businesses wit help of legendary BHW members is the KEY my freind....I too am reading posts of BHW legends and implementing few things if i get time since i work 9-5 to pay off my bills....

Take a break, get laid...reset your mindset, be practical and start afresh.....Good lucks f****R

1. Start a wordpress blog. It's easy. Google it.
2. Start it on something that you think you can easily write about.
3. Do keyword research with Google Keyword Tool and try to find keywords that are low in competition.
4. Build 1 link a day via blog commenting (not spamming) and submitting articles (spun from your own articles that you're writing).

Hi All,
This is my first post here (newbie) and I have been around for a long time.
I can't believe so many people fell for that post.
This person is just trying to get some ideas about how to get started the easy way. Why not just ask I'm sure the folks here would love to give some tips on getting started.

 

[thetraveller]

Well thank you all guys, I see you when I succeed !!!!!

A belief in yourself coupled with self-discipline is a winning combination.

Hi guy, I just want to share with you my feeling now, well I feel really bad, I'm bored to spend my time online reading forums, reading success stories of guys who make money, looking for ebook etc.

Well, I feel I'll never make money because I never do a single thing to make money that's it, there is money to make but I'm here in forums doing nothing just dreaming about what could be my life if I had 20 sites that earn 20$ a day each, I see myself on the beach, in countries, everywhere on the planet, but in fact I'm just here in front of my computer with nothing in pockets neither in bank, I'm so angry on me, I become crazy, my head hurts, I m such a guy who is lazy like crazy. Well I'll never make money untill I act, till I do something, focus, etc all the simple thing that will make me money but that I dont do....

Well thats it guy, there is no magic stuff, just traffic and conversions, and money.

Regards

that is exactly how i feel. i am angry at myself for not doing money
every day i lose money by not doing anything. severe internal conflict.
i am thinking that drugs could help to push me forward, for example adderall XR, which is basically is an amphetamine stimulant. otherwise i don't see how to brake this pattern. you lucky if you are in US and A, adderall is readily available, especially at universities, but for me it is harder. stupid government puts restrictions on it in eu uk


i noticed when i really concentrate and get that power of will, i can achieve amazing progress within couple of hours, and then when i look back at i amaze myself.
it is amazing to see what focused mind can do....
it is about distractions, loss of focus, we are bombarded with interesting but irrelevant info and things, like youtube, tv, news, forums etc

it is aaaaaaaaaaaaaalll about FOCUS and WILL
but pretty hard to brake this pattern of scattered mind
sharp lazer focused concentrated mind can truly change physical reality around you relatively quickly.
you can get anything you want, you can achieve anything you want, you can project your MIND and DREAMS into physical REALITY through sharp focused WILL

 

[eurgbp]

couple of months ago i made for myself simple website blocker, helps me a lot, otherwise i completely lose focus. a lot to tune there, add functions etc
anyone wants to pick up project and redo it?
- easy adding new sites to block via function
- autorun registry and task scheduler checker
- other self-starting methods
- something else

what it does is adds bad websites like youtube to HOSTS and blocks them
then creates 3 self-checking processes so you can't kill them quickly ))
basically it is a fight againt yourself, against your LAZYness
