I'm not a good blogger

First buy a CD series by Robert Kiyosaki titled, "You Can Choose to Be Rich", because I'm pretty sure you need to develop the mindset first.

A lot of what you'll be focusing on consists of...

1. Getting 1-2 needed products developed;
2. Creating some helpful relationships;
3. Outsourcing advertising

Then you'll only have to work 1-2 hours per week. And in your underwear, even.

i don't think it's a mindset problem. I know I can succeed. Some people are good at certain areas. I'm not good at blogging. Basically I'm not very good at writing and don't have money to outsource it. LOL.

My suggestion is start creating blog based on your skills or expertise, so you like programming? Just create a blog and post your coding there, you can post a snipset or a small module coding, and build a relationship between your niches, like exchange links, and put some adsense code on your blog and when your visitors grow, well your earning will grow too.

Don't say you;re not good at writing, you english is better than me, just go for it man.

Part of the blogging process is writing good content and updating posts with articles. If you're not good at writing then get someone else to do it for you.

Outsourcing is a great way of delegating projects to others while you concentrate on what you're good at which is programming.

Don't feel despondent, it's great that you know what your weaknesses and strengths are so that you can start implementing a strategy to get your blog going the right way. And getting others to write posts/articles for you is relatively cheap these days (some are $5 a pop).

At the same time perhaps you could advertise what you're good at on the forum and in return for your services you could get someone else to write posts for you.

Just a thought :-)

I reckon you don't have a lot of money to start, so my suggestion is:

Learn some SEO skills and BUM marketing from this forum, this will kick start your journey to IM.

Give yourself some time, it takes time and effort to be successful in IM, and if you in this forum long enough, there are a lot of senior to help...

You can start with Internet Marketing Center - Learn How to Make Money Online - Insider Secrets Course. Although a bit lengthy, but a lot of good content there.

That is more about theory, discuss your problems in this forums and you will learn faster!

Well how good are you at programming? And what are your goals? Do you want to just be able to earn some good money or do you have additional criteria such as having your own business, etc?

Just earn money > Go Freelance at places like elance.com or odesk.com for starters. People pay freelance programmers good money.

If you'd like to develop a business, as a programmer you could try and research what type of products in the market are needed to overcome common problems. Once you know what is in demand and how you can contribute to filling that demand, you're in business.

For example lets say you notice a trend amongst Internet marketers in here lamenting about how troublesome it is to organize their Twitter marketing because no single product provides all the functionalities required. Find out what features people want under a single program and go make it. Once you have the product, you could JV with people to help you promote it.

Don't want to do such a big product? Then take another example. Say you notice a lot of Internet Marketers have trouble creating opt-in list boxes to add to their website because they simply don't know how. It's just too complicated. Well, make it easy for them. Offer a service to do just that or create a simple GUI program that simplifies the process.

I'm obviously just throwing ideas out here. If you think you're good at programming and crap at writing, I say focus on your strengths rather than your weakness. Don't create an uphill challenge for yourself. Once you have money rolling in from your strengths, you can compensate your weaknesses by outsourcing or partnerships.

Just another thought since while I was typing that last one up, you said you don't want to go into providing service. Back to the example of the opt-in box. It should be easy for you to outline the steps to create an opt-in box and that itself could be a info product. You could write it yourself (it doesn't take a genius to provide words for a manual) or lay out your points and outsource the writing! Of course the opt-in box is merely an example but I'm sure you get the concept.

Thanks guys. Reading all your reply. I can conclude:
-Focus on my strength on programming
-Don't blog, not my strength
-Hire someone to write. Sure I will do it when I have the money.

If you're a programmer, why would you want to blog anyway? You have the skills to produce a product. It doesnt have to be involved, just handy. Make it and put it out, or throw it onto clickbank and let others do the footwork for you..

I'll give you an example. A local radio station created an app for the Ipod to listen to a morning show. Charged 1.00 for it. In 24 hours that app sold 45,000.

There are a million little applications that a programmer who is also into IM could probably come up with and stand to make a fair amount of money just within the IM community.

Hi Michael. But it takes time to build right? I don't want to work that much. By creating app, that means I need to work when I want to earn money.
