10 Reasons Why You Not Making Any Money Online

Have you been on the search for different ways on how to make money online yet up to this day, you have not earned even a single penny? Do you ever wonder why this is happening? To give you an idea and a run down, read on:

The following are ten reasons as to why you not making money online:

1. Impatient.

This is the number one reason why people like you do not make money online. You are very impatient. You want to learn everything fast without even taking a back seat and try to grasp every bit of information as you get them by and by.

2. You want to be spoon-fed.

Everybody starts somewhere. Nobody in this world who got rich and famous by simply waking up in their bed and boom! They are successful! Being spoon-fed is one of the easiest ways to get there but can be destructive since you do not know the real score when you are going to apply such information and monetize it.

3. Gives up easily.

Earning money online is not for people who give up easily. This is best suited for those who take actions day by day and will not ever give up if the going gets tough.

4. Not a risk taker.

There is no such thing at 100% fail proof method of earning money online. The higher the risk is, the higher the probability of you having to earn as much as you can in just a short span of time.

5. Getting the wrong information.

Another reason why you are not earning money online up to this date is that you have been bombarded with the wrong information and applied it.

6. It’s all about getting huge piles of money and nothing else.

If your motivation is to get big chunks of money and that’s about it, then you will definitely not earn. Why? The more you are motivated to go out there and search the best way to earn money online, the more you will be taken away from such opportunity. Divert your mindset or focus and you will see the difference.

7. You do not accept constructive criticisms.

If most people are telling you are doing it all, then you are definitely doing it all. The worst thing that could ever happen is to go on your own and not accept the fact that indeed what you are doing is all wrong and you are in the wrong path.

8. Letting what people say pull you down.

People have this notion that there is no such thing as earning money online, you are just wasting your time, money, etc. on an idea that does not even exist. If you are keen to do something about this, better stop listening to what others may have say about such matter. Or else, you will see yourself going down the drain.

9. You never learn from your mistakes.

Okay, there are some people who let mistakes as mistakes and never see them as opportunity to learn something out of it. You did fail in your attempt to earn money online, for the simple reason that you never learn from every single mistake that you did along the way.

10. When everything fails, you stop!

If at first, you see things start to fail, you stop! This is not the mindset of a successful money earner online. When things do fail, more doors of opportunity do start to open. It is up to you to see them.

10 Reasons Why I’m Disliking your Facebook Page

Facebook has brought about a lot of connections here and there from people around the world. Some are even using this to their advantage by creating a Facebook Fan page and invite more people to become a fan of such page. This can be a gold mine for marketers but could mean the end of the world for some.

Here are my 10 reasons why I am disliking your Facebook Page:

1. I liked your fan page, but it does not even have any updates at all.

Is it me or is it just you only want to generate as many fans in just short span of time that you do not even bother to put an update to your page at all? This is a clear example of a fan page that I definitely dislike.

2. Too many marketing updates!

Okay, I got it! You need to have more fans to like your fan page and be a fan of it. But please, do away with all those marketing updates! It is just too obvious that you do want one thing.

3. Self-centered fan page.

Well, nothing beats having to stumble upon a fan page that is so self-centered that it is all about me, me and me!

4. I need more information not a random sentence here and there.

The very reason that I did like your fan page is that I thought I will learn something out of it! I do not need another random posts here and there, got a lot of friends who are doing that.

5. You posted too many updates in a day.

So, you got all the time in the world to do the updates yourself. But do you think posting too many updates in a day is far enough to flood all your fans Facebook wall or news feed page.

6. I ask a question yet you do not even bother to answer.

What irritates me most is that when I post a question to your fan page, you did not even spend a minute or two to answer it. It seems that you are ignoring me and ther others who post some questions.

7. Updates are too vague or broad.

Yes, you did post some updates but they are too broad and vague. They do not even make some sense at all. I really do not know what you are up to.

8. You are not checking and responding to my comments to your post or update.

If you have posted an update and I am interested, I do put some comments but hey! You are into your ignoring mode and never bother to read my comments.

9. You are a spammer.

One thing I dislike about your fan page is that you are a spammer!

10. Irrelevant links posted.

Your fan page is about how to live life to the fullest, yet you posted links that are selling fake bags! Something fishy!

Here, everything is done online through taking orders and getting payment.

How do you earn money?

You earn money through buy and sell, when you sold a particular item online at a profit. The margin of profit would depend as to how much percentage you set for yourself. You can earn as much as 100% especially if you get the item at a cheaper price from a supplier. However, you need to consider also your competitors and the current market value of the item you are about to sell online. You do not want to sell it at much higher price (you will get less chances of generating income into your profit) or at a lesser price tag (you will get less profit or worst be losing money at the end).

Promote you blog using blog commenting easy way

Blog commenting is by far the fastest way to generate more links, drive more traffic, and increase your website’s ranking on various search engines.

Time is really of the essence when it comes to SEO; the faster you can get there the better. If you are thinking of using automated software to do the dirty work for you, you better think again. It is because the comments generated will be considered as spamming and not all will be approved by blog comments. You do not want the same comment to be seen online, right?

This is where doing it all manually takes into the picture. At least with manual blog commenting, you can read what the blog post all about and say something relevant. This will increase the likelihood of being approved by the owner.

Now, the challenge here how to post relevant comments fast yet increase approval ratings. Here’s how.
First, master the art of speed reading. Yes, this is the number one skill that you should know and you can apply this one especially on blog commenting. All you need to do is read the title, skim through the blog post from the first sentence down to the last sentence. Do it in a matter of 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Second, fill in the boxes with the appropriate information. As for the name, you place here the keyword or to make it sound natural any name + of + keyword. It will read like this: John of New York Diamonds. See? It reads and sounds natural right? Then, put in any active email ad that you have. Lastly, put the URL of the website you are promoting.

Third, this is the fun part – blog commenting! Here is what you must not do, avoid putting these on your comment “great post”, “thank you for your post”, etc. You must see to it that you will put your opinion on the topic, what the blogger is suggesting whether you agree or not put it there. Your comment must be around 2-3 sentences. As much as possible, encourage conversation on your comment. This will add up to making your comment look natural and not spamming.

The key in blog commenting is to make comments that stick and not disapproved by the blogger or blog owner. It would be a total waste of putting in 100 comments in different blogs and got only 1 approve because you are spamming.

How to promote a blog on forums the easy way

Forum posting is one of the easiest SEO techniques and everybody can do it. There are two ways of doing forum posting it is either through Xrumer (automated software) and manually. Xrumer is dubbed as a way of doing forum posting the black hat way. As for the manual forum posting it is a white hat method. Most people who want to have quality links and good promotional value for a website it is highly advisable to go for manual forum posting.

What’s with manual forum posting? Doing it manually can be tiresome, boring and eats most of your time, however, the assurance of having your posts to stick right there and not be banned from the forum are high in contrast with doing the Xrumer way. If you are keen on keeping up your posts online, and all good, then ready yourself for 2-3 hours worth of posting everyday.

In this article, you will learn the art of forum posting the manual way. Read on.

1. First, search online on forums that are related to your niche.
2. Second, narrow down your list and be sure what you got are forums that do allow users to have a signature and put a link into it.
3. Third, sign up.
4. Fourth, create a newbie post.
5. Fifth, start answering threads from other users.
6. Sixth, repeat #3 and #4 step with the next forums.

The key here is to keep on posting subsequently on different forums and do about 4-5 posts on each forum. You can do like 5 forums today, another set of 5 forums tomorrow, and do it alternately. The last thing that you want to happen is for the administrator to ban you off from the forum. This could ruin your online reputation. Be as real as possible and not act like a spammer.

Do away with posts like “Thank you for your post”, “I like your post”, “This post is so informative, thanks”, anything on this line. What you need to do is read the thread first for a couple of seconds and get hold of what the thread starter is trying to say and write your opinion. It would be so annoying and irritating for a thread starter reading spam. Therefore, make sure that your post is related to the thread or not there will be a possibility that the thread starter will report you for spamming.

Lastly, do not leave any form of links or hyperlink an anchor text just to gain backlinks for your website. Your forum signature will help out with the linking and stuff. Forum posting is really easy, right?
