Focus on Quick Cash or the Long Term Deal?

Quick cash will happen often but is that the best way to go? Do you focus on getting the cash now even if it’s not that much or do you focus on the long term and the future? But what the future isn’t a guarantee in making tons of money.

For instance, would you sell a permanent ad spot on your blog for $1,000? That may sound lovely because it’s a thousand dollars going into your pocket up front, but what if your site gets so big that you could charge twice that much a month? Now you’re screwed for the remainder of the time your blog is up and running.

Now my other instance is the fact that I do banner designs for a cheap price and I get a decent amount of people requesting them. Yes, it takes time which is probably the most expensive thing you cannot replace. And I have projects that may possibly help me get a LOT more money in the near future.

So, decisions, decisions…

Currently, I’m setting my priorities to make the cash now and balance my time so I can work on my future projects as well. But it’s so hard and I may have to make a decision and settle for only one soon.

What’s the Worst Thing About Starting a ‘Make Money Online’ Blog?

I can’t even believe I just asked that question, “What’s the worst thing about starting a ‘Make Money Online’ Blog?” And believe me, there are endless reasons why people shouldn’t start these types of blogs or shouldn’t even consider touching this niche. But if you had to choose one reason, what would it be?

Need help? I’m sure you don’t, but since I’m technically typing to myself at the moment, I’m going to supply some of my own reasons (in no particular order).

First, there are way too many “Make Money Online” blogs in the Blogosphere. Yes, I understand I’m just adding to the already heavily populated niche but my goal is to take advantage of my knowledge and reputation to build this site up and eventually sell it to someone that does not want to do the start up work. Especially the fact, that is one of the worst parts of starting a blog in general. You have to basically start from scratch.

Secondly, a large majority of people who start MMO blogs have no clue on how to make money online. Seriously. I see so many people starting one and then going to forums asking “So, how do people make money online?” Well, if you didn’t know or don’t make money online, more than likely, you shouldn’t be in the niche.

Write something you are more familar with, maybe write about kittens? Hey, that was just a suggestion!

People blog exactly about what you’re blogging about. There’s no way of being fully unique in this niche, you just have to do your best to separate yourself from the herd. And no, stating “follow me on my journey to becoming rich” is not a good MMO blog. Why would I want to follow you when I can just follow myself on this brand new blog instead?

Just think about it, when a new site or product comes out that people can make money off of, you think you’re going to be the only one sharing it to the blogosphere? Nope, I don’t think so.

You’re at a disadvantage from the get-go. Yup, you heard right. You’re at more of a disadvantage than everyone else because you already have people disliking despising your blog and won’t even give you a chance because they feel your blog is one in a million.

More than likely they’re right.

I’m not trying to put people down, just stating what most people feel. And there are far more worst things about starting a make money online blog, and if you have any to add, feel free to comment and I’ll add it to this list!
