Blog Warrior Freebie

I'm going to start offering freebies of software and ebooks to help people to earn online and put them all together in a section on my sidebar, so that you have access to them whenever you need it. I've wanted to do this for awhile, as I have many useful tools to giveaway, but the problem was a matter of how to offer these downloads. This site is not hosted on my server, so I have to link to the files on an uploading service.

Unfortunately, most of the remote file upload services are crap and full of pop ups and installers and I care about my readers enough to not want them to get bombarded with that when getting something free from me. I tried a test file and uploaded it to several of these remote hosts and then downloaded it as a user to see what I ran into and there was only one that was ok with me. So, I can now offer some cool freebies that should dramatically help you ease the work load of earning money online!

The first one is the Blog Warrior freebie to find blogs and comment on them. I've mentioned in several places how important it is for getting free backlinks that you comment on blogs within your niche, but it can be quite time consuming to find these sites. With this free program you simply start it up, input the keywords you are targeting and it will produce a list of urls where you can leave your comments, including the site's PR and Alexa rank! It's simple to use and quite helpful.

Other webmasters are offering this program in exchange for you joining their mailing list so they can spam you every day, but I'm not like that. I would like you to follow my blog, if you want to learn more about earning online, but there is never any obligation for you to do so. I never ask for anything in return...your success is my reward!!

Think Like A Webmaster!

It has come to my attention that many of you struggling to make money online do not realize you must start to think like a webmaster, because that is what you are now! Anytime you start a new job, whether on the internet or offline, there is a learning process in which you are trained for that position. Doctor, lawyer, pilot, webmaster...these are all jobs that you can do for living, but you must study and learn to become one first!

Recently, I've noticed people making mistakes online simply because they aren't thinking like a webmaster. If you were surgeon about to perform surgery, would you think like a bartender??? NO!! Well, it's the same on the web...you must change your thought process!

I've used the term "thinking outside the box" often, but now I'd like you to think INSIDE the box, but in the CORRECT box...the "webmaster" box!

Being a webmaster involves knowing your audience and building your site accordingly. Don't put beer ads on a health site or don't buy PTC traffic to a website selling tractors! Look at more effective ways to utilize your resources.

Another thing is that you shouldn't become easily impressed by anything too flashy. Quite often on webmaster forums I read sales threads for really plain looking sites or ones using common templates that are earning for the owner, but potential buyers will pass because the website doesn't look "pretty" enough for them. A beginner webmaster will be easily impressed by flash intros and colorful graphics and will usually get caught up in that, even if the site for sale is making ZERO revenue.

You must realize that just because you've seen a template before doesn't mean that your visitor will have ever seen it. I have arcade sites using default skins that get FAR more traffic than anything with a custom look. That is because surfers care about website CONTENT, and not looks, and that should be your concern as well. An impressive looking site with no content is going to lose traffic quickly and gain no return visitors.

An experienced, REAL webmaster will see the potential in even the ugliest of sites and will be more interested in it's earning stats, regardless of what it looks like. One of my most ugly, plain and totally boring looking sites just made over $700 in sales last week. Why? Because it's full of CONTENT. No fluff, no filler, no blinking gifs or buttons...just information about an "in demand" product and where to purchase it. That's it!

Content should be your focus and not how cool your new website looks! Which brings me to this blog you are reading right now. It's jam packed with information on making money online with no filler or anything fancy. It gets right to the point. Some members of LR have left reviews saying the look is very boring. Yes, it is and yes, I could change it to something fancier, but I won't because that's not the focus of this blog.

The focus here is to provide info on how to earn online and, if you follow my posts, you WILL make money, so I don't feel I need to impress anyone with a video slideshow or lightning bolts flashing across the page. Read, learn and concentrate your efforts on your new job as a webmaster and you will eventually be earning a living from that career in the future! To your success!!

Work At Home Freedom

I'm going to take a break from the usual "make money online" post and, instead of telling you HOW to earn, I'm going to tell you WHY you should be making money online working from home. It's quite simple: when you work at home you earn more than just money...you earn your FREEDOM.

I know that sounds rather dramatic, but it's very true, and it should be important to you. The economy is being flushed down the drain. Workers are being laid off everywhere. Even big car companies that have been around for more than a century, are now faced with financial disaster. There is no longer any such thing as job security. Your employment could be taken away tomorrow or next week...at ANY time!

When you work from home you are your own boss, so you can't get fired! Plus, you can take a break whenever you want to. No more early mornings scraping ice off the car in the middle of a storm to go to work. No more traffic jams when commuting back and forth. Never have to deal with an annoying co-worker or supervisor. You never have to eat a quick "bag lunch" in 15 minutes because of a limited breaktime, or rush to get errands done during your lunchbreak.

Perhaps most importantly is the fact that you never have to go to work again when you feel sick or have the flu and your whole body aches in pain. Yesterday I felt exactly like that. I had a headache and I was tired and I thought I was catching a cold, so what did I do? I dropped EVERYTHING I was doing and went to the beach...and slept. All afternoon just laying in the sand. Then in the evening I stopped at the canteen and had a nice plate of fish n' chips. It was good! By the time I got home again I felt much better.

You don't have to live near the ocean like I do to take advantage of this work at home freedom. You can go anywhere you want to, whenever you want to. When you don't feel well, you can just stay in bed all day watching TV, if you want to.

But this freedom to be your own boss working from home does have a cost. No, it's not money. It's discipline. You have to know when NOT to be lazy, and to be willing to work like a driven donkey most of the time. It's ironic because most people drawn toward the lure of working online do it because they ARE lazy and have bought into the myth that it's easy money when, in actual fact, it's probably about the hardest way to earn a living there is. It's NOT suitable for lazy people at all!

That's why most people fail online. It's not because they CAN'T make money, or they think it's impossible, but because they aren't willing to work at it. I work my ass off online, sometimes 16 hour days, building sites, placing links, promoting for traffic, working on new ideas, etc, etc...and sometimes I'm exhausted, but I do it because it affords me the freedom NOT to do it on days when I just don't feel like it.

I earn a living doing this from home, and it's worth it to me to not have to be part of the daily grind that everyone else has to deal with at work. I choose to work hard now, so that I don't have to later. You can as well. You can do anything you set your mind to do, if you want it badly enough. Think about it, for your own freedom from the rat race....
