3 Mental Advantages to Make Money Online
1 Comment | Posted by cashschool in Money Making Methods
Starting a website can be a mental drain, trust me, I know. You hear all of these success stories all around you and read tons of articles which show you the exact step by step tips that successful internet marketers have used to make money online and become excited about the endless possibilities. Your excitement carries for the first couple weeks as you constantly add posts to your blog and promote your site. However, just as when you start an exercise routine, there is a hill you must climb over. For many, that hill reaches its peak a few months after starting the blog.

That hill can be a difficult route to overcome and many decide to just turn around and coast back down the hill. Many bloggers are not realistic about their goals and expect to make their first big paycheck in their first month. When that first month produces little to no money, bloggers are quick to brand their efforts useless and pointless. You know that old saying, “the first million is always the hardest to get?” Well in terms of creating your own site to make money online, 100 unique hits a day is the hardest to get. After your HostGator awstats shows 100 unique hits a day on average, your site tends to go on cruise control and the money starts to come in.
Until you reach that 100 unique hit, you’ve got to find ways to give yourself mental advantages so that you don’t give up on a site that could easily mature in a few months into the premiere site in its niche. In order to help you gain mental advantages to make money online, I’ve put together a few pointers I’ve used with great success to help you overcome the mental strain a new blog and its blogger faces.
- 100 posts/articles is the magic number: Many eBooks and people will tell you that after you reach 30 posts/articles, you will then see a jump in traffic from search engines and greater ad revenue. My personal experience has been that the number is more like 100 posts. In all of my sites, I’ve received far greater and more livable money once I’ve reached 100 posts on the site. So remember, until you’ve reached 100 posts on your site you probably won’t make much money online.
- Join Chikita: While AdSense will probably generate you more money once your site reaches the 100 unique hits a day mark, until then you won’t see much of a profit. Discussions I’ve had with other site owners has led to me to suppose that you need around 1,000 impressions a day to make a decent amount (your earnings will vary depending on the keyword the Ad is focused on). Until then, use Chikita along with Google Ad Sense. Chikita targets ads based on the exact search phrase a visitor typed into a search engine. Thus, you get more clicks on the ads, which makes you more money. When it comes to making money online, incremental gains in money can go a long way as a mental advantage.
- Don’t be a stalker: By that I mean, don’t check your Google Ad Sense, Chikita, eBay Partner Network, and other affiliate program earnings every day. Wait to check it every two weeks. If you can’t wait every two weeks, try to check it only once a week. If you hold off on how often you check your earnings, you will be more surprised by the amount you’ve made when you do check. That surprise can provide a mental boosting encouraging you to further add content and promote your site in hopes of beating that money made on your next cycle.
As I said, starting a website is a test of your mental toughness. The hill you have to climb in order to make money online is a steep one full of rough terrain. But trust me, once you get over that peak, you’ve never seen a more beautiful terrain.

Don’t care about the number subscribed to RSS

I know the haters are going to say, “he’s only saying this because he doesn’t have many readers.” Well, it’s true I don’t have many readers, but it is also true that my site is very very young. But, regardless of how many readers I have, I don’t care for a variety of reasons.
My most important reason is probably most important for you too. A good majority of your readers are there for one reason only, to see what you’re writing about and copy it and use it on their website as content. Now, most of these copiers are lazy bastards who wind up linking to your page accidentally which may seem good. However, these sites are rarely even indexed by Google and if they haven’t already been, will soon be flagged as a spam/duplicate content site. What do I do with these people? I report them to Google Spam. It is an annoying and constant process but I have to do it to preserve the integrity of Quick Cash School.
The second reason is that I don’t post to this blog with the sole effort to gain traffic and readers and you shouldn’t either. If you’re posting just in hopes of encouraging hoards of traffic to come to your page and subscribe to your RSS feeds, keep dreaming. You need to have passion and enthusiasm when you post, not only in the article you’re writing about, but the subject of the article as well. Viewers can easily tell when a post is lacking any passion and seems to just be slapped up onto the page with no thought behind it. If you do that, guess what? No one will want to subscribe to your RSS feed because they don’t want to read your helpless articles.
I post because I enjoy writing about the subject of money and helping others get to where I’ve gotten. I don’t write with hopes of making millions off this page. All of my most successful sites have been profitable when they were about subjects I was passionate about. My failures came when I just made sites on a subject I had no idea about or wasn’t passionate about. So, write for your own aesthetic pleasure, not because you want money, traffic, or RSS readers. Do that and the money will follow!
