If you’re serious about making a living out of blogging or any other web related schemes, you’re going to have to start trying your own different things. You’re going to have to start thinking of your own ideas. If you look around at the thousands of other make money blogs out there. They all offer you the same information, it’s just presented a little differently. You always see the same affiliate companies, the same guides, the same old S.E.O, the list is endless. The top blogs aren’t at the top because they offer you amazing never before seen content and unique ideas. They’re at the top, simply because they started their blogs first. Advertising, promotion and making money isn’t exactly a new concept is it? It’s been around for over half a century. Probably longer.
Because nearly all make money online information is the same, just written differently. People are using the same ideas thinking they’re new, when really they aren’t. Yes, these ideas may work now, but what’s going to happen in 5 years time, when even more people have realised they too can get rich of the internet? I’m sure you can answer that question yourself. Because people are to comfortable distributing re-written methods, we hardly ever see new, fresh and exciting ways to get rich from the web. I’m bored at staring at the the same affiliate marketing campaigns. ”Get a product, use Adwords, blah blah blah”. O.k some people explain in better, or make it seem different, but it isn’t.
Maybe people are, using unique methods to make money. And if they are, I hope they keep their ideas to themselves. I know it’s good to swap ideas around, but when you have to watch these ideas get re-written and promoted as ”ground breaking” a thousand times it’s kind of sad.
It’s not hard to think of your own unique ways to make some extra money. The internet is a huge, huge place. It’s full areas waiting to be exploited. Just sit back and think. I’m sure you can find something that nobody else is doing yet. In the short time I’ve been blogging, I’ve already found one area I think I can use to make a small profit. If it doesn’t work, who cares? I’ll try something else. At least your thinking for yourself. Don’t let setbacks put you down. I’m sure if you try 10 ideas, there’s a good chance at least 1 of them will work for you. Even if it doesn’t make you thousands, it’s still made you something. And Something is better than nothing. The most important thing to me would be the fact that it’s my idea. And I’d be happy with myself because I’m trying.

I can understand where you are coming from but the sites that really make money online aren’t the ones that started first - they are the ones who understand SEO better and rank on top of the serp’s for whatever niche they target. They don’t chase social traffic rather they know the importance of search traffic which is the type of traffic that spends money and is looking for something in particular. You really don’t have to come up with anything new - you just have to do the same thing as the successful marketers but do it better.
Best of luck to you - enjoyed your writing style.

I think you’re doing something right funked.
You were having trouble the other day with your Entrecard ad stats, and I placed an ad with you to help you get back on track.
It turned out to be the single most succesful ad I’ve ever placed with Entrecard. (In terms of the most clicks recieved)
So big thanks to you and your blog’s readers. Here’s wishing you every success in the future.

Thanks for the kind comments.
@Tam - Yeah, my Entrecard stats seem to be improving now. As soon as I approve an ad, the % lowers.
