There’s always an opportunity to succeed, no matter what the current economic situation is.

I’ve been preaching this one for years…and the reason why this is true is mostly because of the power of properly using the internet.

Start a blog on the subject you enjoy. Then you will have that pressure from your readers to blog and you will not have other choice but to constantly make more research on this subject.

I like the message about hard work, but the rest is a bit dramatic.

Step 5 – You get criticized and scrutinized for your every move.

Yeah, so? That happens to every single blogger out there. Stop whining.

I think that whatever level of success you have, family and friends are generally sceptical. When you reach out to the wider community the problem only gets worse, even less people believe what you say.

But, ho hum it brings in traffic

Keep up the good work Max, it is refreshing to have a guy running a blog that is not a specialist blogger but comes from a successful business background. No offence to Ben intended.

p.s. I am running with the BANs concept at the moment, yours was one of 3 sites that endorse the system so I got stuck in. I hope to post some positive results after say a month.

Re: Step 1 – Starting an internet business is pretty easy to do, but making it successful is the hard part.

Re: Step 2 – Not many people want to work their butt off.

Re: Step 3 – Too many can’t reach the “Wealthy stage” because they don’t work their butts off.

Re: Step 4 – Too many don’t have the knowledge to share because they didn’t work their butt off and reach the wealthy stage.

Re: Step 5 – Too many spend too much time criticizing.

Re: Step 6 – Same as Step 5

Great post, and so true. I’m sure you also get many comments saying how lucky you were. Isn’t it interesting how some people react to successful people. I had a very similar experience while investing. I had developed some very good skills in TA (chart reading) over many years and had become very successful trading stocks. I noticed on many of the investment boards pertaining to penny stocks that most were getting taken for a ride as they were totally wrapped up in their emotions of either fear or greed. TA is a great tool to counteract this. So I decided over over a period several years to give free information on the psychology of investing and technical trading. I know in my heart that many gained from what I freely offered. But I assure everyone here that for every person that choose to learn what it takes to invest successfully there was four that were critical, but I was a fraud, that I was manipulating market to rip people off. It seems that the 80/20 rule always applies. If if I were to do it over again I would charge a fee and have a members area instead of providing free information.

Hi Max,
I’ve seen some online criticisms of your approach to Blogging Experiment, so I can pretty well imagine the type of emails you are getting. Ben was successful because people liked him – he had a style they could relate to. Your approach is more authorative and this gets some people’s backs up it seems. In my mind there is nothing wrong with either aproach – just difference.
I think you are doing a good job here, so don’t sweat it if people throw the ‘guru scam artist’ label at you.
As to the debate on ‘make money online gurus’, which continues to rage; if nothing else, it makes people stop and question what the person is saying and why they are saying it. No bad thing.
And it’s real interesting to watch

Very well said. It is true that people are just jealous of “GURUs” because of their success. I admit that I have been jealous of John Chow for a very very long time mainly because he received all the traffic he has now because he was a top referral for Agloco. Maybe it is time to kickstart myself too
