1 Pressing Problem Faced by Most Warriors

I've spotted a problem faced by most Warriors.

Or at least, too many of them.

They're trying to make money, instead of allowing their creative juices to flow, to create something useful....and instead of forming genuine, authentic bonds with authorities in their niche....and, instead of selling products or offering services in alignment with their area of expertise.

If you REALLY want to make money blogging, or through IM, or through any channel in life, do 4 things.

1: Save enough money to where you don't care about making money online. This is the level of detachment needed to create awesome content, and to form genuine connections. Work a part time job, or put in extra time at work, or give up cable and your gym membership, or jst save for a few more months to pad your cash flow, to do the online thing the right way.

Some folks break this rule, and succeed through sheer willpower, but using this level of force creates an unhappiness, anxiety and bitterness in their being, which ruins their life....some genuinely happy folks break this rule, and I say, more power to them. These select, semi-enlightened few, did something me and most other folks online couldn't do. Save. Pad your account. Then, you can succeed much more quickly online, because you won't be noting any lack of money which of course, scares off money and diminishes your creativity, authenticity and attractiveness to authorities in your niche.

2: Through practice, and patient work and through learning from experts in your niche, create impacting content. The type of stuff that makes folks do a double take. This takes time, energy, creativity, and again, an authentic, sincere approach, to wanting to help folks....and NOT to get paid (remember #1, you're already paid, and all saved up, so you can detach from outcomes.)

When I say "practice" I mean spending hours each day honing your craft, just like any professional, in any niche, or job on earth, has to work, to get good at something.

3. Make authentic connections. Once in a while I receive emails from strangers asking me to JV with them. I wouldn't hinge my reputation, and business future, and my financial stability, and my online businesses, on a desperate plea from some guy who I met on the street 5 minutes ago.....so I'm not doing it with someone I met online 5 minutes ago.

Help. Experts. Promote their blog posts, comment on their blog posts....outreach works damn well, and I'm typing these words from Fiji - in an ocean front home for 4 months - because of the authorities, experts and gurus I've helped, and helped, and helped....who grew to trust me, and connect with me.....and these folks expanded my presence in unimaginable ways, from getting interviewed on sites like brand.com, to being asked to speak at prestigious NYU, to guest posting on the top sites in my niche.

Send personalized emails. Chat about non-business stuff. Freaking make friends, it's so incredibly easy to do, when you're authentic, care about folks and truly want to help them.

4: Monetize products or services relevant to your niche only. If you saw Tony Robbins on TV selling frozen chicken bites, you'd wonder what the heck a personal develop guru is doing selling something totally unrelated to his area of expertise. Like, he should sell personal development-themed products, and maybe Frank Perdue (or his kids since he's passed on I believe) should sell the frozen chicken bites.

Sell what your niche expects you to sell. Sell in line with your area of expertise.Freelance in line with your expertise. This alignment and level of clarity helps you make money with increasing ease, because people will not be confused by any divergence between your area of expertise and your offering.

Guys, follow these 4 tips, and you will make money through any online endeavor...but at that point, you'll not care much about money so it'll sneak in the back door because you're no longer looking for it.

Bula!....from Fiji.

Have a great weekend all, and keep on smiling
