Let’s face it. The web is simply overflowing with information on how to blog, make a “successful” career in blogging, get “tons” of traffic, and earn “effortlessly” by monetizing your blog. The amount of information is staggering that you can spend your entire life trying to learn all these things and not do anything else.
But despite this easy-to-access wealth of information, you’d wonder: Why is it that most bloggers fail? Why can’t they attract readers to their blog? Why doesn’t anyone post comments? Why do only a handful of people bother to subscribe to their RSS feed?
Here’s the plain truth: Not every piece of information you can get is accurate and works for all bloggers. Even if it sounds good or wise, more often than not, most bloggers don’t know how to apply them to their own advantage.
Sounds great, but will it work?
You’ll also find a lot of good ideas scattered all over the web. But it’s quite tricky. Remember that some ideas may appear to work great in theory but don’t work at all in real life. Those ideas may sound brilliant, but that’s what they may just be – “good ideas” or theory that add nothing to your bottomline.
Take MLM (multilevel marketing) as an example. The concept is, in fact, brilliant and it’s easy to become convinced that you can get rich by the effort of hundreds of downlines that you can recruit. But ask yourself: Do you know anyone who became rich via MLM? (There are rare successes but most are failures.)
And here’s another astounding, often overlooked truth…
Your mentors can’t give you everything
It’s good to have mentors to teach us things, especially when we’re only starting out. But before we hang on to every word they say and forget everything else, it’s important to realize that they can’t possibly have experienced everything about the subject they’re teaching.
There’s only so much knowledge that they can absorb within their daily 24-hour life. Chances are, they also miss out on some important information. Even if you have 2 or 3 mentors, what they don’t learn, they can’t teach you, so there’s still plenty of stuff you can learn on your own.
Also, keep in mind that your situation and those of the blogging experts may be similar, but cannot be exactly the same . What tactic may work for the blogging expert with enormous success may not apply to you and can bring you miserable failure instead.
Okay, you ask, if those things don’t guarantee success, where do I get reliable information that will truly work for ME in MY situation?
Results, not Theories
I believe in results, not in ideas or theories. It’s important that an idea, however good it may seem, has already been tested and has delivered good results. That’s what I call a solid actionable information that produces real results.
But who’s willing to spend all his or her time to try out all the wonderful-sounding ideas, then fail hundreds of times, just to uncover the real golden nuggets of strategy that actually work? Unfortunately, as of today, I know of no such person, and no one wants to be a guinea pig and live through numerous heartbreaking failures.
But wait…we can have much better answer than that. Fortunately, I know a terrific source of boundless experience and knowledge, yet untapped by any other platform.
