There are many IM's Here. What is your drive and goals?

My approach is to deliver what my end user/customer wants. Its that simple.

who has a blog on topics they actually enjoy writing about (aside from making money online, SEO etc..)?

The two niches that I currently operate in are very enjoyable to me. Writing clients I pick up always give me different topics, enabling me to broaden my horizons (which to me is enjoyable).


Is everything everyone here does, targeted towards only making money online? (excluding the topics on dating, health and self improvement)

Seeing a large portion of this forum's population selling a WSO may lead you to believe that; but it is not true. There are an infinite number of niches out there. Many of the more successful marketers don't even operate in the topics you specified above.

what are some of the things you write about?

It's bad form to give away your niches on here .


what do you offer aside from products and services?

Erm...nothing? What is there outside of a product or a service? If you figure it out, let me know.


what makes your business different (different being, not following the standardized ways of business)?

The quality of my products and services, and the extensive insider information that I can provide to my niche. Making myself readily available to my customers has helped as well.

is what your doing geared to changing the lives of others, better yet the way the world thinks?

I'm sure that it is subjective; but I believe that my products and my service better people's lives.


is your focus to make a living online or to provide progressive steps on a topic (to change the way a topic is taught or learned)?

I don't see how those are supposed to be two different, black or white approaches. Both can be accomplished easily at the same time.


a little on me....i design websites, i love coding, hacking and invisible lines and i will do it for free if the project is progressive. My focus isn't really to make money online,yet it is to change the way the game is played, to push people to work harder and to be more innovative then to just offer information you can find elsewhere if you weren't lazy, to change the internet and the aspection of business. Basically to weed out "the easy way out" of making money online. I believe in professionalism and that if your going to do something you may as well be the best at it and that only those who believe in pushing beyond their potential should prosper. In layman's terms, those people who refuse to settle for what they have and for anything less.

So should we disregard that you ever started the "3 or 7k per month" thread? Because in that one you seemed to be about making money. Now, you suddenly aren't. Odd.

please no politics, i ask this because as humans we all want to do something, some of us will be better than others and others may be the unfortunate. After answering the questions above, if your purpose is just to make money online (whether your why is to provide for your fam., improve yourself or help the world etc...)


What is your purpose in humanity?

As I stated above, you can have the goal to make money online while simultaneously bettering the world. Turning it into a black and white situation, and then jumping to one side of the fence (when you were just on the other side) is just unnecessary.

PS
a little clarity on "helping the world." Helping the world doesn't mean giving to a charity and visiting a country just to show love to orphans and giving them food for a year. helping the world means living for the world, meaning, earning everythign only to give it away. To feel their pain and to train them to be the best in every given field they grow interest in, to invest in them, to train them to change the world. So before you say, you want to help the world. Think twice because what you could be doing can be what some call idiot compassion. Don't do things just so you can feel better about your existence, do things because you live it....

I find your absolutes to be a bit off putting honestly. There are more ways to "help the world" than your attempt at a definition notes.

You had some OK questions; but as soon as you started getting preachy this post went the wrong way fast.
