It may sound simplistic, but keyword research is key in making money. After that, it’s just a system of getting on the first page of search engines. Again, not hard if you pick the right keywords.

Been patient and persistant are the two essential elements. Seeing a little money coming in can be a real motivator, however, you need to work hard to get to that stage.

I have worked on my blogs for almost a year and never made a penny, I have seen a cheque for $150 each of the last 2 months and motivation is now at an all time high.

I saw Walter comment on my blog, came here to watch his blog, and now I see you are here as well
Walter, I liked your post. Happy to hear that you have started making money online. Maybe we should chat and exchange some tips. I completely agree about the trial and error, too, Samantha. I believe that every hero was once a zero, so it takes a lot of failing until you make it right.

There is money to be earned online and that is a fact. I agree on being patient and applying different strategies to increase traffic. I agree on formulating a unique strategy to rise above competitors.

These are all some great tips, but I think you left out one critical one:

It takes work! In my situation, I knew I wasn’t putting in the effort, rather than a failure in whatever training programs I was learning from. I see too many others complain that a particular method doesn’t. When you look at what they have done, it’s either not much or they are ignoring every suggestion being thrown at them.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Walter,

I am new to your site and am happy to have found you giving these great advice on this post.

We all who are serious about blogging knows that patience is crucial. It’s a slow and steady process but success will always come to those that persevere. The formula always work.

Personally for me blogging is a process that clarified my purpose. I tried different niches that I thought was the thing for me. Eventually I stopped on earlier ones because I was no longer happy blogging about this. It forced me to look deeper and finally I am rewarded by what I am doing currently.

Your advice here will certainly help me to reach new heights.

Thank you

This are such essential tips, Walter! You know, I had always shied away from business and entrepreneurship, so now that I find myself freelancing, I need all the help I can get! =) I especially value your point about trial and error — we’re all unique and we don’t know what will work for us. That’s why we need to keep on learning and growing!

So glad you reached out and that we’ve met! =) Looking forward to absorbing more insights from you in the future!

I think that now patient is my problem… sometime it’s not easy to be patient

Hi Walter,

The point about patience is probably the hardest one to overcome.

Pressure comes from the top down to generate traffic, leads, and sales and to do it quickly.

As you know, audiences don’t flock to you over night, relationships happen over time, and recognition spreads accordingly.

Often looking back several months you can see what kind of progress you truly have made.

Thanks for the tips,

Bryce

Walter,
Just what I needed as I work to make a go of it through my online endeavors. I am impatient! Thanks for the great reminders.
