Day 140 – Another Week, Another Start

As I mentioned before, there are folks out there making money (claiming to make exorbitant money) on the Internet. There are all manner of get-rich-now programs, and they seem to be similar in many ways. I suppose the distinguishing factor in the various schemes is the pitch person; the guy or gal reaching out to change your life.

I’m drawn to the monetized blogging approach, where you design a blog around carefully selected words in an effort to get the best traffic when those words are “Goggled.” Ads and offers, matching the blog content, are in place for the readers who sought out the key words in the first place. I like to write and I don't like to sell - this may work...

There are tricks of course; hence the online courses, webinars, e-books and newsletters. Stop your search! Change your life! Own this boat and these friends! All for only $29.95!

The pitches are similar. The trick must be to pick the best pitch-er. I’m impressed with a specific blogging guru and when my free trial ends, I’ll probably pay to keep learning from her/him. Once I’m successful I’ll share this source (but I wouldn’t wish her/him the negative publicity if I don’t get rich quickly).

You know, I can imagine that if the Internet had been around in the early eighties, I might have skipped Architecture school altogether and jumped straight into blogging!
