“In 2010 I have decided that I want to buy and own my blog space on the internet… great idea in theory but one slight issue… I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I AM DOING!”
Here are the asked questions and my answers:

Q: Would it be smarter to hire someone to do it for me?
A: In the long term it is better to learn this by your self. But if you want to shorten the learning curve and get quicker results you can also hire somebody to help you to get started and then step by step learn all of these skills when your web presence is up and running.

Today I like to talk about on ’steal clients from your competitors’. In today’s time competition is a great word. Everybody try’s to get what the other has. Instead of to focus on to build his own vision, something new and innovative, and to make the way free for others to follow.
Some examples for companies who build something new and made the way for other to follow are: eBay, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google and thousands more worldwide.
With their innovation they made the way for thousands of businesses to follow them, thousands new jobs, thousands realized dreams and hopes! They did not waste their time on competition. They made their own thing.
Instead of building something valuable and new, and to make the way free for others who follow, we are still caught in the competition game!
“Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.”
Dale Carnegie
We are so busy to make our competitor look like much worst than we are, instead of to improve our self’s and to make us look much better than him. And this is a waste of time and resources!
“Dale Carnegie didn’t say anything bad about somebody but all the best he know about them.”
By the end of the day the client himself decides if he wants to choose you or any of your competitors.
I think that it is not fair, unethical and against the law to steal. Why do we differ fairness, ethic and law when it comes to business? Is to ‘steal’ clients from a competitor ok by making him look like much worst than you are?
When I was kid I have read these sentences, may be you have read them as well …
- …
- You shall not steal
- You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour
- You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour
- …
Sounds like the rules of civilization, fairness and ethics. What do you think?
“You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now. “
Wallace D. Wattles
There is enough for all and everybody out there. There is no reason to ‘steal’ anything from anybody!
Become a creator like eBay, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google and thousand others who made the way free for other to follow.
Build your own vision; build something new valuable and innovative. Make the way free for others to follow you, and your definition of success will follow you also!

Everyday I read these messages in my Google alerts, now I see them on Facebook and LinkedIn as well. And I am sad of this!
…How to make $500 – $5000 a day in three easy steps…
…Become an internet millionaire hands free for only $97 one time payment…
…Groundbreaking Millionaire Making System, Reserve your position now….
Did you bought ‚How To Make Money Online’ products like these mentioned above?
If yes, I would like to know why you do that? Was it to shorten the way to acquire knowledge and to save efforts?
So you hoped to become rich quick….!? That’s exactly the reason why so many people fall on these schemes out there!
Didn’t you asked your self why those scammers sell their ‘Moneymaking, Million dollar, bla bla bla BULLSH****, top secret system?
Those people try to sell you the How to become Rich on the Internet without any effort, without any knowledge when you buy there product for only $97.
Would you sell anybody the exact step by step system for lousy $97 if you had such system what makes you daily $5000, or would you keep it as a secret to make the most money for your self?
Those folks make their money by blowing smoke into your face!
They have no idea on how to make you rich! They don’t know you, they don’t know anything about the things you are interested in, and they don’t care about you! They are simply interested to get your best thing, your cash! They know if they pretend they have the knowledge, YOU and thousands like YOU will make THEM very rich!
If you get an offer and the other side pushes you to buy now ‘otherwise your spot is gone’ than let it be gone. If it is legitimated business, the option to make cash will be there later also. There is no rush!
Google
Go to Google search and type in the search field this kind of search request (example): Compliant: Get Rich, Inc.
If there are complaints about them, the chances are good that they are listed there.
Alexa and Alexa Way back Machine:
Go to Alexa and check the traffic rank of this ‘breathtaking, millionair making, etc.’ opportunity. If they pretend to be successful, the Alexa graph can show you how. Check out how long they are online and compare this with the traffic rank. A very successful side should be und 100k and a super cool breathtaking, millionair making, etc. opportunity should be better than 20k in Alexa rank.
Use the Way Back Machine of Alexa to see how long they are online and how did the looked like in the beginning!
Check out forums, what is discussed about the seller there!

Payments
Be careful when you pay those products, especially through pay pal.
Why?
I tell you: Digital products and services which you pay through pay pal you can not chargeback in case of something goes wrong with the seller. For example some of them offer 90 days money back. In the case they do not refund your money back, you are not able to get your money back which you have paid for the ‘digital product’ or service. Pay Pal will not give your money back. Read their terms of service.
If you pay by your credit card, this problem does not occur. Read the TOS of you CC provider.

During the past years advertisers have increased their use of ad networks. Through the growing importance of blogs within a social media marketing mix more and more businesses and large brand names will turn to dedicated blog ad networks to address their message to their existing and future customers.
This leads to the question which dedicated blog ad networks will suit the conversion and quality needs of the advertiser and the earning potential of the blogger in the future?
Those dedicated blog ad networks that care of quality, VIP service and those who care of a fair revenue share between them and their blogging business partners will!
In the near future it will not be important for the potential advertiser how many thousands of bloggers a blog ad network has to offer. Moreover the quality, the range of ad exposure and finally the results measured in revenue are going to be more serious!
For the blogger, who want to monetize his hard work, the frequency on getting jobs and the revenue outlook will go along!
Conclusion:
The better the quality of a dedicated blog ad network, the less important is if they have thirty thousand bloggers registered or even five thousand.
The more options they offer for ad exposure to their advertisers and to their valued bloggers, the more lead generation sources the advertiser will get access to and the blogger has more ad revenue streams to monetize his content.
