SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Domain Names

There are a lot of blogs that talk about their earning reports, quick tips and tutorials.  These blogposts actually motivate me as an online entrepreneur (self proclaim) and made me wonder if they are working hard or working smart?

This week, I did a lot of tasks at hand, some sort of a full-forced-get-it-done-asap work.  I set aside a large percentage of my reading and researching and focused on application of what I have learned these past few weeks.

Based on this week’s performance, I must admit that I really worked hard.  Created a list of tasks and updated all niche blogs I managed, not to mention a disappointing  50% decrease of my earnings.  I also re-organized my keywords for my campaigns and hopeful that I can launch the latter by early next week.

This got me contemplating if I am on the right path.  Am I working hard and not working smart?  A certain part of my brain tells me that in order to be successful, I must work hard, but the other part tells me that working smart should be the best way to go.

In the end really, I think these two should be combined together.  In order to have a passive income, which is really my goal, hard work should be implemented first. Automation or “autopilot” (as some gurus say) would follow soon after the real work has been done.

How about you? Are you working Hard or or Working Smart?

After a few days of not updating my twitter account, I finally did put up and catched up on some posts.  In any case you still do not know twitter, it is an open-source  micro-blogging platform that can really be handy with  internet marketers, bloggers and the like.

Twitter Slapping

Indeed, Twitter is really getting serious with spam nowadays, unlike the back ol’ days, twitter dont care on what you tweet.  Since it became popular due to some tv promotions and publicity from famous personalities, twitter became active in fighting spam.   It may be not that very strict as of this writing, but expect soon that it MAY implement stricter rules like the the Big G has.

Speaking of twitter, I am on the verge of launching an experiment, A Make Money with Twitter proces, like Mahrgil’s Make Money Online with Twitter but with a twist… or not.  I am hoping for positive results soon, and if ever, Imma share it with my readers, if there are any.. lol.

The internet is a massive network of information readily available for users who seek. The best thing about it is that the information is free. But there is also a downside with regard to free information. Sometimes, it is misleading. I have read thousands of blogs [really] since I started my online adventure (or misadventure) early 2008 and one third of those are SEO Blogs. Majority of the blogs have a number of useful information and sadly, some are just trash. For a SEO Novice, these could lead them to the wrong path thus, hindering growth and understanding to SEO.

My point here is that, you should never be confident on your information that you recently got with one blog alone. Try searching for other blogs or sites that talk about the term or process you seek. If sites you have visited share the same insights, then you have a winner.

I recently became active in reading seo blogs again and I stumbled to one of my favorite SEO Blog, Blue Hat SEO - you could visit the site and I assure you that it is one of the motherships of SEO. There is a huge information about seo on that blog and information there is a Gold Mine. Try to check it out. Also,if you are still starting out, one of the best places to ask and read other people’s questions are the forums.

All the best.
