I thought I knew how to make money online. Then this year, with no page rank, I realized that I only knew how to write paid posts for companies that will cause your page rank to no longer exist.
Are You Feeling Lost In Making Money Online?
Making money online has almost the same learning curve as when you are doing sales. It is both deep and intolerable curve to go through. But once you have gone through, you will start to see a sweet journey ahead. I was looking at Yaro Starak’s blog post about him building his own website all by himself, until he started to outsource. Just thinking of the tremendous amount of work to do all by himself, you can see how much things he has to learn, before he can ever start to make real money online. Recently, I started to read about Yaro Starak’s blog. As website reviewing as my main focus in my blog, I naturally have the habit of checking his site out more though I may not know fully about his contents. I got to know of a new friend who is starting to work on websites as his business. I strongly encourage him to do so since it does no harm to spare a few hours of his day working on it. But I do know his learning curve is going to be very very very deep… Hope he does not see this sentence in my blog… Going through the process of making money online is like looking out for new sales for your business in the physical world out there. It is nearly similar to doing direct sales. However, direct sales can be really tiring until a person can start to break down… I wonder when my boss is going to break down because of his super enthusiastic interest in multiple physical businesses. I can only tell him that it’s his choice… But web business is slightly different over here. It’s a system where you can duplicate effectively. In the physical world, you may have done a very good business but you have to depend on your luck to look for someone who can duplicate you in your business, in order for you to be part of the shareholders (or sleeping partners in other words)…. Web business can be as tedious… But it’s more like a do-it-at-your-own-pace style. Money coming in an orderly manner with the payment system in place… Whereas in physical business, I still have to create quotation to be converted as purchase order… I still have to create an invoice and delivery note… If I don’t do all these paper work, my money wouldn’t come in… You are basically slaving for every dollar to come in. After comparing the difference, you can always say that online business is the perfect system to do business… However, you will also start to think how come your money is not coming in… In the online world, there’s also the same “human touch” that you have to give to your potential customers. This “human touch” can be in the form of a photo of yourself in the website, or it can be in the form of email communications with your potential customers. Basically, you have to think of how to create sales for yourself in the form of a website… And also to socialize around to keep learning and keeping yourself up to date… Making yourself very visible to your potential customers as much as possible! The secret is to “Keep filling your sales funnel with lots of prospects, so that a percentage of it may be filtered out as customers.” |

Hi Sir Jorge… You can actually continue to write your paid postings on your blog. But you have to keep your “nofollow” tag accordingly. That should settle. Then, go to this blog url below and do your part to claim back your page rank…

Thanks for dropping by, Axileon. The things we are doing is sort of very different from the conventional ways done by other Singaporeans. Most importantly, we must have faith in what we are doing, and seeing someone who’s making money online is a real motivation in getting ourselves hot on our own feet!
