Blogging or simple product creation

4 replies
Hey warriors, I am currently confused regarding my future plans.
The thing is I am kind of frustrated with article marketing,squidoo lens i.e. giving my content to other sites. The reason I am doing this is because at the end of the year I have nothing which i can see as an asset, I have many squidoo lenses, few blogspot blogs many articles here and there.

These are not something that gives me a sense of accomplishment, I can't sell any of these. They just dried up. ( I have no list)

I want to make a consistent income online, currently I have two things in my mind
1. Make a nice informative blog ( earn affiliate commissions)
2. simple and cheap info product creation.

I'll be frank I am looking for option that can give me returns as soon as possible, and i think a blog can take loads of content and around 4-6 months to take off ( tell me if i am wrong).
On the other hand I can start selling an info product within few weeks and start making some money.

I am really confused can anybody please guide me what option is the best to take.

    What do you want to do? It seems like you know all kinds of things that potentially make money, but what do you want to end up doing?

    For example, you seem to want a list, but do you like writing emails?

    You seem to want a blog, but do you like blogging?

    You talk about things you want to have, but what about what you want to DO? I recommend building your business around the bits you LIKE doing. So what is that? Do you want to just make money online, or do you actually want to become a known figure online in IM?

    Is that your niche, or do you have some other passion you're trying to get into?

      Make the blog, begin to build your list, and then survey that list to find out what info product it is they would like to buy.

      Then go make the product.

      2 birds,one stone.

    These are the questions I am asking myself, The thing is I have read a lot of stuff. I am at a point where I know more then many warriors ( theoretically) but less then most warriors ( practically).

    I am not saying I am a failure I have made money, and I know it takes work to make money online and I love it.

    I love knowledge, I want to make a difference in people's lives. I want to provide value and get money in return.

    Regarding email writing- I have not done it yet but I think I'll love it.

    To answer your question I want to get into IM niche (its my ultimate aim) as soon as possible, but I don't want to be a so called guru who has never ever made 100,000$ in year but promises that he has, and can help others to do the same.

    This is the reason I am trying to figure out niche marketing.

    Regarding blogging, thought of providing lots of valuable content and then waiting for six months to see any significant money scares me, since I have no other source of income and I don't even plan to have.

    Collin, you seem to be pretty knowledgeable person regarding human psychology ( my favorite topic) I ask you what do you think will be most profitable and worth doing for me.

    Need your guidance bro. I am ready for every criticism. I am ready for whatever it takes.

      You could start with spelling my name right, Anoop.

      I have to run out at the moment, but I'll post some more info here when I get back.
