1 Way to Maintain Your Integrity and Make More Money

18 replies
I spoke to a fellow blogger who has been online since 2008. Just like me.

He noted how he has built a prospering business by maintaining his integrity. Or, by telling the truth. Or, by being honest.

That has always been my intent for the past 9 years. Even when I struggled like hell I made telling the truth the foundation of my blogging and marketing campaign.

What is the easiest way to tell the truth? And how can you make more money in the process?

Before you post an income claim in your sig file, on your landing page or in your sales copy, say to yourself:

"Have I done this? Have I achieved this?"

If you have done that, or achieved whatever you are promising, you will maintain your integrity, sleep well, and make more money both in the near and long term.

The problem is this: when you do not tell the truth by making income or traffic claims you have not personally achieved it goes beyond lying, or not being truthful......you literally create struggles for yourself because only a psychopath who feels nothing would be able to operate successfully with this discord and lack of clarity, over the full length of their online career.

Most human beings feel totally or largely unclear making claims that they cannot own. That unclear feeling roots itself in the fear of being exposed as a fraud. That fear of being a fraud sends off a "stay away" energy to virtually every human being who comes across your website.

Even if you lie to yourself and lie to others and wind up making a hefty income online, you will either lose the money or will encounter problem after problem, and critic after critic, and scam accusation after scam accusation, because there is a lack of strong clarity in what you are doing, and it always catches up to you, because you can't outfox your energy.

You have a conscience. So it feels bad/wrong or just "off" when you lie. That "off" feeling will create nightmares for you.

I recall a well known blogger coming clean a long time ago. He claimed to make $100,000 a year. But then he told the truth; the truth being, that he was lying. He never made close to 100 grand. I gave him full credit at the time and would not be surprised if he succeeded wildly in some other venture since he established clarity in telling that truth.

On the flip side, if you can truthfully make income claims based on your own achievements, or if you move away from income claims to focus on something a bit purer, a bit more fulfilling, than just making money, you will sleep well, you will be more successful and in the near and long term you will make make more money because the power of clarity has an almost miraculous effect on your life.

When what you say aligns 100% with who you are, you have full energetic clarity in what you do. No fears about being exposed as a fraud, no fears that you cower to, that goad you to manipulate people. Just fun, service, love, practice, building your friend network, success and clarity. And much more money will flow your way because when you are clear on your direction and render useful service, other folks can clearly see how your service can benefit them and readily gobble up your free and premium content.

      Not so much that S, but the fact that you need to have achieved the results - ie making $100 a day - to get clear on the claim, so you can maintain your integrity and sleep well at night. And in the process, you will make more money too.

    Since the only thing that makes a man a man is his mind, because everything else can be found in a dog or cat, then he should establish the proper use if it.

    It's job as far as this conversation, is to think.

    If you think negatively which also includes lying (not telling the truth to your readers or anyone else for that matter), then your entire life and everything around you will reflect that.

    You will unerringly, sooner or later, find yourself in dire circumstances that are accurately reflecting your state of mind.

    If you are noble and forthright, then your life and circumstances will reflect this as well.

    Your outside environment is the precise portrayal of your mental state.

    So, even if your only motivation was selfishness, telling the truth and the right thinking that goes with it will eventually bring you far more than the lies. So, why wouldn't you do it?

    Base your business and life on honor and integrity. You'll get more in the end. Because let's face it, some people will like you and some won't no matter what you do.

      Have you followed these guys for months? For years?

      Give it time. Meaning, follow them for at least 2-3 weeks to get a feel for their delivery. Are they generously sharing free and premium content? Are they focusing on giving and helping and serving, and not just on getting?

      Ask yourself these questions, and wait for honest answers.

      Warrior can be a great starting place. Because if someone devotes 10 to 15 minutes of their time to write thoughtful posts, giving of their knowledge for free, these are almost always the guys and gals who have integrity, who have a servant's heart and who are the leaders you want to follow.

      Robert that's it We sleep well, relax and don't have to deal with the headaches that less truthful folks need to deal with. Sometimes the urge to make quick money goads folks to do things they regret doing down the road. Near term and long term.

    Great post!

    Tell the truth...success online takes a lot of work (on your business, on your marketing skills and on yourself in the form of personal development / mind training).

    Be authentic.

    Put yourself out there with your real name, picture and even video.

    If you want to sell products online to others...

    Make sure that are front and center before these products and services.

    My sig has 5 steps for success.

    This is what I personally do to get results online.
