So you are sitting here, reading my blog, wondering why your ass isn?t making more than a few cents with those crappy for Adsense sites you set up everyday. Well, number one, you are using AdCENTS. Unless you are attacking a niche with huge click costs (key money, diet, and B2B phrases), have excellent SEO skills that can pop you in the top of hugely competitive niches in days, as well as a butt load of time, you probably ain?t gonna be making your first AdDollars for a few more months. You certainly won?t be balling.
So what should you be doing? Anything but AdCents. Get into some IM, AM, Freelance design, programming, or writing. I used to make 100+ bucks a day writing, until I realized I could make more for myself writing ad copy and putting some ads up on Google to it. I stuck with affiliate marketing, and for the most part it has been a profitable source for me.
What else should you be doing? How about stop reading this blog. In fact, unsubscribe! Unsubscribe to every other blog. Block any site with the word WordPress in it?s footer to make sure you can?t read another blog. It?s wasting your time, highly unproductive, and let?s face it? when?s the last time I wrote a post that made you 1 million dollars last year? Never.
It?s time for a personal revolution. Put down the time, throw down some money, and see what happens. The best marketers have found their way to the top, mostly, with the help of their sense of creativity and courage, willingness, and curiosity. No one?s going to hold your hand to your first $100 dollar day, your first $1,000 day, or your first $10,000 day. I?ve done this by myself (minus the $10,000 day.. I know? not quite balling, yet) and I?ve had a few kicks in the butts along the way, but no one has ever told me how exactly to do it with step-by-step instructions.
You?ve got to do it yourself, experiment, lose money, investigate and data-mine until you figure out the fastest and best ways to profit. You could copy a dying horse like everyone else with your stimulus plans on Facebook or Becky?s Diet Duo on Google (yeah I?m outing some LPs? ban me, biotch!), but that?s just temporary money. Really experiment, dig into odd niches (toejam?), create your own products, build a list, bid low on keywords no one else has hit, remove the BS keywords that just lose you money, and start rolling in the profit machine you?ve just built.
You?ll never make money reading this BS. Get out of here? seriously.
Bye and good luck!
Hey fella, good article, and a sentiment I share. I made most of my money by quitting my job and working as a web-developer, after three years I made more cash than I had in the previous 10 years in a different industry, and the truth of it is that I knew nothing of web-development or business. I winged it all the way and bought in the skills as and when I got the jobs.
I'm now trying my luck at internet marketing and have to keep reminding myself not to keep looking for the 'secret key' that all these BS so called guru's are offering and do it my own way.
Keep up the good work, and despite what you say, I shall remain a reader just to spite you!

Great tips. I just stumbled on this site, and apparently you don't want me to come back… :(
How right you are Justin. I am guilty of playing online games too long, and not spending enough time trying to make real money ! I realised this sometime ago and yesterday binned two games I had been playing 18 months !
Time to take making money seriously. Good luck in BKK and maybe see you around town someday.
