Blog Comments After much thought, I have decided to close comments on this blog. It’s important to point out that I did NOT do this because I don’t want to hear what you have to say, it was because I got tired of wasting time, effort, and energy trying to filter out out hundreds and sometimes even thousands of spam comments on a continual basis.

Not only that, but there were many times that I (or a spam prevention plugin) would accidentally filter out GOOD comments that weren’t spam and those people would wonder why their comment never got posted. When you get lots of comments (real and spam) it becomes a total MESS.

I am not the only one who has closed blog comments…Seth Godin does not accept comments on his blog either so I am in very good company :)

Why You Should Consider Closing Your Blog Comments

Think about it for a second…there are already so many different social media and communication platforms; Twitter, Facebook, Google +, Pinterest, Forums, and more. By not accepting comments on your blog, you can save huge amounts of time and energy by not having to filter, delete, and moderate comments every single day.

Here’s the secret….I DO want comments, everybody does right? Instead of accepting them on your blog, direct ALL comments to your Twitter, Facebook, and/or Google+ pages because that way, many more people will see the comments, you will get MORE interaction (which is good for everyone) and you won’t have to waste one second of your time dealing with spam or moderation. It’s the perfect time saving revenue generating solution.

Seth Godin does this for a reason and I happen to agree. Do you? Let’s hear your thoughts….click the Share/Save button below and share your thoughts on social media. I’ll see it and join the discussion.

Make Passive Income I get tired of seeing all the sh*tty products and services that many people are trying to sell online, especially when they are about making money online.

There have always been posers and scammers but I have seriously never seen so many than in the make money category and niches and unfortunately, many, MANY of these are total BS and created by people who have never made a dime themselves online and have no clue what they are talking about. (they aren’t a successful businessperson but they “play” one on forums or websites)

Here is where most people get it wrong…they are always looking for the next “secret” that is going to help them make money or change their life. It’s like a DRUG, and they get their “fix” when they buy the next POS product that promises internet riches with no work at all, for only $27!!!

Let me be straight with you….do you REALLY think…if someone is making great money online, that they are going to sell their secrets/systems/methods for $7/$27/$47? F*ck NO, of course they’re not!

Yet sadly :( I see many people looking for that next “fix” and buying those crappy products and getting ripped off anyway. After buying those crappy products, they feel better for the moment, but after a few days (or maybe just a few hours), they realize it’s not the magic secret money making bullet they hoped for and then they go looking for that next “secret” and repeat the process over and over because HOPE is a strong drug.

If this is you, it’s not your fault! You’ve been fed a bunch of lies and false promises by so called “gurus” but don’t worry, you have come to the right place.

Guess what…..

There is NO secret.

You want to make money online? You need to work your *ss off and you can make it happen. It’s not going to happen with some BS product or service that promises overnight riches and it’s not going to happen for the people who are constantly jumping from one product or method to the next and “hoping” themselves into failure.

There IS good news though…You WILL be successful if you are focused, have the right strategy, build a REAL business, and work hard. The awesome thing is, 99% of the people aren’t willing to do what it takes so if you are someone who IS willing to do these things, you can see some success pretty quickly.

My challenge to you…stop buying sh*t or looking for that next “thing” that will make you successful. Figure out what you want to focus on and then go ALL OUT on that one thing. Stop hoping and start working.

Once you stop focusing on “searching” and completely focus on “working”, you will be amazed at the level of success you can create.

Peace out!

Or Do You Listen To Them?

make money online This may strike a nerve with a few people but I don’t care. Are you a professional forum poster or do you take advice from one? I sure hope not.

Here is the deal….I’ve noticed on some forums recently (especially marketing forums) that many people equate someone who has lots of posts on a forum with success. For example, you see someone with 12 forum posts versus someone with 6,322 forum posts and most people think that the guy (or gal!) with 6,000+ posts is more credible or successful than the guy with only 12. That’s total BS!

I have a name for people who basically do nothing but post on forums all day (ok, I won’t call them losers), I call them “professional forum posters”.

I have no problem with someone who wastes their day doing that, it’s their choice….what sucks is that people actually equate that waste of time as a badge of success.

There are many forums where people even make lots of little posts just to get their dumb post counts up and then they think it’s a big deal when they hit 5,000 posts or some inane number! If I were them, I would be trying to HIDE the fact that they waste time posting on forums all day, I sure as h*ll wouldn’t want to be recognized for it.

Here’s the real deal….if someone is truly successful, they don’t sit there and post on forums all day. Not a chance. Those are the worst type of people to listen to or take advice from. Most are probably people that haven’t even made a dime online yet they “trick” you into believing they are something by regurgitating some other b*llshit they heard from someone else online who also probably sucks.

Stop trusting professional forum posters…they have no clue what they are talking about.
