That’s right. I am finding out quickly that no one gives a shit about your website. I have heard it all over the place but it is more important than ever to write about things that will actually help people.
There is so much half ass writing being done on the internet that is being done solely for SEO. Every article you read or page you go to has a few very specific keywords that contain a link. That link is the only reason that article was even posted. It was not to teach you anything. It was not to give you anything. It is so Google will pick up one more link back to that particular website under those particular keywords.
If you are an internet marketer then you already know this. If you are an internet user then you may not. I am both.
I am looking for websites that will teach me things. I am looking for websites that have value. I need to create the same. It is easy to get in the rut of following all of these “Gurus’ ” advice. Write honestly and openly. Write things that you would like to sell. Write things that you think should earn you money. And give them away. Nobody gives a shit about your website.
If you can get people to give a shit about your website you will be able to make money. One of my favorite blogs belongs to Pat Flynn at his passive income blog (yes that is free unsolicited link love). Every month he gives you an honest and open breakdown of his earnings. I started to do that but after a few weeks of no earnings it can be discouraging. Guess what it’s still discouraging.
I am going to start following the advice of some of the best people in the business. Start doing what is making them money.
