And many experts suggest that the risks are still enormous when it comes to stock markets and economy in general.

So how do you make yourself financially secure in the years to come?

Why An Online Business Trumps Offline Business

Lots of people have been looking to start an online business now that the Internet is all around us. And common sense tells us that there is no stopping the Internet from getting to every possible device and part of our life.

Which means that offering your products and / or services to billions of people is the way of the future.

Here’s why an online business trumps offline:

Imagine a typical offline business – selling a product. This can be clothes, cell phones, furniture, etc.

The company involved in an offline business has to typically buy the raw materials, manufacture the product and then sell it with profit.

When they run out of stock, they have to manufacture the product again in order to earn money.

If their production stops so does the income.

An online business on the other hand creates information and ideally – digital products. The information on how to tie a tie for example does not have to be updated every month!

And creating a digital product costs you only once – after that there are infinite copies of the product.

This is the single most advantageous factor of an online business compared to an offline business: you have unlimited copies of your product!

I created a set of videos for tennis beginners in April 2007 and still made 337 sales in the last 12 months.  I worked hard for 3 months to create that product and have been earning income ever since.

Starting An Online Business Or Looking To Make Money Online?

The key to long term success though is to build a stable online business. But that still requires effort and time and some money invested.

The more exciting and on the first sight more profitable approach is to try and make money online.

That’s why there are 15 times more people looking for information on how to make money online than people looking to start an online business.

Making money online is for most people the search for the best way to game the system and to earn the most money in the easiest way.

I understand that approach as I have used it too in the past – and it worked really well for some time.

But eventually every trick will be abused so much when the masses learn about it that major search engines will change their algorithms and advertising networks will lower their payout and the latest trick will not work anymore.

Building a sustainable online business on the other hand is the approach that will work in the long term.

The key to success is to approach it EXACTLY the same as you would starting an offline business.

The only difference in the long term will be much higher profits as you’ll be creating digital products with infinite number of copies and you’ll be able to reach millions of people instead of just a few thousand that pass by your store in a typical month.

My personal recommendation to start your online journey if SBI! And I also offer to help you out at the beginning stages.

But even if you don’t choose SBI, you should seriously consider starting an online business with another system because of its many advantages compared to an offline business.

And if you’re still not convinced that the current financial system is unstable, then I warmly recommend that you get yourself a copy of the Oscar winning movie Inside Job.

You’ll see what kind of people are really pulling the strings in the background and that because of their greed and obsession for power the next financial crisis is inevitable in the near future.

That train had massive momentum and it was very hard to stop.

It is of course also very hard to move such a big mass into movement from static state.

That’s because when an object is static, it is also affected by static friction – compared to the object in movement which is only affected by kinetic friction.

Why the heck am I talking about physics and friction on a blog about internet marketing?

Because when it comes to productivity, things are almost the same in physics and working from home.

It’s about momentum.

When you move an object, it will have a momentum. That means it will continue going for a while even when there is no force to push or pull it.

When the object is not moving, it takes more force to get it moving than it takes to keep it going at certain speed.

It’s exactly the same with your work and productivity. It’s hard to start working from nothing.

It takes much more effort to start working than to continue working.

It’s also quite easy to continue working even though you’re not really exerting too much force to keep working. In fact, the momentum of work often takes you longer than you planned.

You might even have a late dinner because you got pulled into work.

Much of this happens below your awareness that’s why I am writing this post so that you’re more aware of the power of momentum.

The momentum does not affect you only in the same day – for example a couple of hours.

No, the momentum can last for months or longer once you get into it. If you plan your work for every day and start working on your business at 9 AM and do that for 3 hours – and repeat that for a week, you’ll find it much easier to continue this rhythm the next week.

The momentum will give you the energy to work as there will be no need to overcome the “static friction”.

So how can you consciously use this information?

1. Realize that it’s harder to start doing anything than it is to keep doing it.

That’s why you need to push yourself a little just to start. Starting this blog post was much harder than it was to keep writing it and finishing it.

2. Know that when you have the momentum, it’s best to use it for more and better productivity.

Don’t use breaks too often in your daily work period and don’t take too long vacations when you have large projects to complete. It’s going to be very hard to get started again and since you’ll have to overcome the “static friction” again.

So I think it’s best that as soon as I publish this post, I keep the momentum and start working on something else…

If you just Google your main keywords and start contacting websites one by one you’ll often find a very low response rate to your emails.

So you need to find websites that are interested in cooperation and promotion of their own businesses.

Even without reading further you can probably come up with some ideas on how to find websites who are interested in their own promotion – which you can offer for something in return.

Here are two quick tips…

1. Search Press Releases

Sites who want to spread the word about their businesses and their latest developments and products use press releases to spread the word.

There are tons of press release websites (Google them) but for a start you can search through prweb.com, prnewswire.com and prlog.org.

I’ll use an example of finding websites on the topic of tennis rackets.

You will find some crappy MFA websites doing their press releases simply for link building but you can find some really good companies and websites.

I did a search on prweb.com for tennis racket:

… and opened the press release written by Do It Tennis. The press release of course contains the link to their website.

It’s an ecommerce website that would most likely be interested in another type of promotion – like writing an article for your website with a link back.

You can ask for a link back from their blog or find another way of cooperating.

The point is that you found someone who is looking to promote their own site and with a quality content website you can surely offer that.

Using this strategy can help you find more interested parties…

2. Search Amazon.com for sellers

This is more oriented towards products…

If I am looking for business related to tennis rackets on Amazon.com, I’d go to Sports & Outdoors  > Racket Sports > Tennis > Rackets.

Scroll down and you’ll see the Sellers on the right side.

You don’t see their website even on their profile page but you can Google them and it’s very likely that you’ll find that exact business…

If they’re serious enough to sell on Amazon.com, then they are very likely serious enough to look for any opportunity to expand their reach online.

You can offer that and ask for something in return.

Hope that gives you some ideas on how to find websites that are serious about their business and are interested in cooperation with other related websites.

Got any other ideas of finding interested prospects?

All you need to do is to put up a sign Do It Now! above your desk or PC and every time you consider postponing your task, the sign will remind you that you should do it now.

You’ll find that if you just deal with everything that comes at you (emails, to do list, …) immediately, you’ll become very productive.

But soon there were more and more ideas shared on Facebook on which books can help you improve your productivity even more.

But my feeling is that it’s just another trick of our mind. Here’s why…

If you’re an adult, you have two conflicting parts in your mind: the childish mind and the adult mind.

The childish mind (also called the inner child) is a pure child. It craves attention, approval, looks for instant gratification (does not think about long term consequences) and is very manipulative.

Ever seen a 8 year old boy / girl manipulate his parents or even more common, his grandparents?

They are consciously acting – perhaps trying to be cute, perhaps being annoying – basically testing various behaviours in order to achieve whatever they want at the moment. And in most cases they win – because grandparents especially cannot resist their charms.

Well, that manipulative inner child is still inside of you and it hates work, it hates dull tasks and is simply looking to have as much fun as possible and discover interesting new things.

The adult part of you things logically and is thinking long term. It’s willing to do what needs to be done in order to get the result it planned.

These two parts of you are fighting for your attention all the time.

Each wants to get what it wants – the difference is this though: the childish part is manipulative and the adult part is not. That’s why the childish part can only be controlled if the adult part is smart enough to see through its tricks.

Here’s the trick the inner child just wanted to play on you: we’re talking about productivity and getting things done. The inner child hates work and therefore suggests reading more books.

“Yeah, that will keep us occupied, we’ll discover something new again (the inner child also craves novelty!) and we won’t have to work!”

You just fell for its latest trick.

“How to avoid working and not feel too guilty about it? Well, lets read a book. Surely, that sounds like working, right? “

I don’t think you need another book.

Imagine this scenario: bad guys kidnap your most loved person and their demand is simple – as soon as you complete everything on your to-do list for the day, they will return your most beloved person back to you.

See?

If you really imagine this clearly, you know that you’d be totally focused on the task at hand and wouldn’t be distracted by anything around you.

You’d turn off TV, Ipad, your phone, close the email client and get to work. You’d do anything to get your love back.

You wouldn’t need any productivity book to get things done very efficiently.

If you agree with the above thinking, then know that when you were considering getting another book about productivity, you were fooled by your childish mind.

Don’t be fooled again. The childish mind needs to get what it wants too – but that should be when we DON’T work. (You need to have time for that too – but it comes AFTER work!)

Watch an action movie, play a game of Tetris, enjoy a game of tennis and have fun with kids.

But when it comes to your freedom, you need to be head of the family. The adult you needs to take control and make things happen…

That’s why I need a person who will review vacuums the way they should really be reviewed.

I need this person to be reliable, honest, hard working and willing to go the extra mile to achieve outstanding quality and who of course is also looking to earn some extra cash.

I will pay very generously – as I am not in a business of maximizing profit (since I am doing really well) but in a business of delivering maximum quality reviews.

Also, I’d like this person to be from the USA. That’s because most major vacuum companies are from the US and I will try to negotiate free sample vacuums which will be much easier to ship to US than Slovenia.

Also, I need this person to be (close to) perfect in English grammar and English language in general.

The vacuum reviews I am planning to have on my site will be detailed with many pictures and videos.

How does a good product review look like?

Here are some examples:

phonearena.com/htmls/Samsung-Wave-723-Review-review-r_2539.html

anandtech.com/show/3948/asus-u35jc-jogging-in-place

reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/samsung-lcd-tv/samsung-ln55c650.html

That’s how a good vacuum review should look like. Unfortunately there aren’t any similar ones when it comes to vacuum cleaners in the entire world. ;(

So I’ll do it.

I’d also like to add video reviews of vacuums which are also very very few online. Here’s an example:

While it’s not critical that you speak in the video, it is critical to produce some video review for posting on Youtube and other video sites.

So if you think you’re the right person for the job and you’re willing to do this for at least 100 reviews (or work on this for at least a year), then here’s how to proceed:

Send me a review of your own vacuum. (You do own a vacuum, don’t you?

Make it at least 2000 words and format the review the way you think is best. Add pictures and if you want, video review it too.

I will choose one or two people with whom I’ll work to polish the article to fit my quality standards and then decide with whom I’d like to work long term.

What do you get out of this?

If I don’t choose to work with you long term but you do send me a 2000 word review with images, I’ll pay $50 to your paypal and also publish that review on my site with a link back to your site.

If you are the One, I’ll pay you very generously (through paypal), you’ll have a chance to test lots of vacuums and keep the one(s) you like, and if I’ll need to buy a vacuum on Amazon.com for you to review it, you’ll get to keep it or sell it on Ebay and keep the money.

We’ll have to negotiate the details but I’m sure it will be something in this direction. (I am sure that I won’t receive all the vacuums for free from companies and if I don’t receive them, I’ll just buy them. They’ll be shipped to you and that may be the payment for the work you’ll do. Again, we’ll polish the details but it will be something along these lines…)

You’ll also get to work with me, see my approach to business success and you might eventually decide to do a similar thing with another product and simply use the same approach.

So again, what I would need from someone who would be willing to work on this is:

- test vacuum cleaners in real life (how they work on diferent surfaces, how to operate them, measure how noisy they are, how much dust they let out, etc.)
-write comprehensive and outstanding reviews with lots of pictures
- compile a video review to be posted on Youtube and other sites
- be willing to work and lot and be willing to receive lots of money (and some free vacs)
- be willing to learn and adapt
- is able to accept payment to paypal and lives in the USA

If you feel that this is something you’d like to pursue (if there’s a gut feeling that this is right), then send me your vacuum review to tomaz (at) tennismindgame.com in either simple HTML or Word format.

Use that email to ask me other questions that I haven’t considered yet.

——————————————————————————-

Tomaz has talked a lot about doing something you’re passionate about and the Site Build It! Action Guide emphasizes this as well. Without passion you will not keep going when you aren’t seeing results in the first 3, 6 or even 12 months.

Building a real business takes a lot of hard work, so it’s essential that you find something you love. If money didn’t exist, what would you do? There are no limits, only those that we impose on ourselves.

For example, you can have multiple passions, why not? I recently discovered that I am extremely passionate about helping people grow both spiritually and financially.

We all have something that we love doing and something that we burn for. Using that and turning it into a business will take you a long way.

4 Things That Will Separate You from the Crowd

When you’re passionate you won’t have trouble going the extra mile for your visitors, customers or clients. A few things I’ve noticed from people that are passionate are:

Care. When you like what you’re doing you’ll naturally contact your visitors and start a discussion. You never know where this may lead. It’s easy to think that talking to a visitor doesn’t have value, but they might know someone who knows someone that will then lead to a business opportunity.

Authenticity. Keeping it real is something that will become necessary in the years to come. With social media, blogs and all of these tools, word of mouth is becoming more and more powerful. If you aren’t taking care of your visitors and being authentic, your brand will go down the toilet.

Networking. This goes hand in hand with caring. If you want to jumpstart your progress, you have to get out there and network, both online and offline. If you can’t do offline, then go online and comment on blogs, use twitter, facebook and participate in the forums in your niche.

Hard work. Ultimately it all comes down to hard work. But when you’re doing what you’re passionate about, work is play and it isn’t really hard work. It’s just you having fun while building your business. Writing content, building links, brainstorming and innovating comes easily when you’re following your passion and not just doing it for the money.

The Time to Act is Now

Never has there been more opportunity than there is now. The cost of entry is low. You can connect with like-minded people and create your own community. It takes work, but it is worth it. If you’re working a 9-5 job, keep at it, but start putting out content on your passion when you’re home.

Using the power of passion to build your own business isn’t complex, it just takes work. Just doing 15 minutes a day will produce big results in the long-run. There are many resources out there that will help you get started. Site Build It! is excellent, and a great starting point.

Ultimately it is up to you to do your research, but do not get hung up on the tools. Find something that is endorsed by someone you respect and start taking action.

I was planning a niche website and started to check the best domains related to it on http://whois.domaintools.com.

Best domains are short, catchy and include the main keyword or a synonym.

For example, if you were planning a site which would share lots of tennis tips, you’d want to check if tennistips.com, tennistips.net, tennis-tips.com and similar domains are still available.

I checked about 7 or 8 domains, used synonyms that tried to say the same thing using other keywords when I came across a domain that was for sale:

I followed the link and ended up on a site that specializes in buying and selling domain names. There was a form to complete:

I simply introduced myself and asked the price of the domain name.

I received an email a day later:

“Hello,

Please contact us with any questions.”

I then checked the domain more thoroughly using archive.org and noticed that there hasn’t been any content on it since 2004. The domain was actually first registered in 1998.

This is the note that I sent back:

“Hi,

Best regards,
Tomaz Mencinger”

There’s some psychology here at works, so let me explain: since I noticed that the domain hasn’t had any content on it for 5 years, that meant that someone was not successful in selling it.

Maybe they asked too much for it in the beginning, in any case $3000 was too much now too.

$1000 is about the maximum I would be willing to pay for a domain without content – because it is a 2 word domain, has keywords with lots of demand and is quite old.

I also emphasized that they can pass my offer, which would mean that they would continue to be unsuccessful in selling that domain.

I also stroked their ego a little bit saying that they are probably very good at what they do and that I was willing to follow their lead – and that I wouldn’t complicate with my ideas of how to pay and transfer the domain.

This is the reply I received the next day:

“Hello,

—————————-

So that was about it. I paid using paypal through 2checkout.com, and received  the access to the domain in the next email about 2 hours later.

I transferred the domain to bluehost.com where I also host this blog and some of my other sites.

By the way, I really recommend bluehost.com (aff. link) for hosting and domain management as they offer payment with paypal and have lots of video tutorials (including how to transfer domains).

I’ve never had any problems with them and the domain manager and hosting accounts are very easy to understand and manage.

In summary, I wanted to show you how to find a good domain name and how to bargain. Of course, if you’re not willing to walk away from the deal, then you don’t have the real power in negotiating.

For my purposes, that domain name was not so critical and I could have registered a similar domain for $10 per year.

But since I can afford it and the domain keywords really explain in 2 words what the site is about (and those two keywords also have lots of demand and I’ll probably rank quite high in Google for that search term in about a year or so), I made my offer.

I’ll build this site with WordPress but I’ll find a theme that looks like a website and not like a blog. The site will be built with SBI principles and I will keep you posted on its progress.

But what exactly is »good« content?

People often ask me; how many words should I write? Is 300 words enough? Do I need to add pictures too? How about videos? And so on…

All these questions are based on the wrong type of thinking when it comes to success. That’s because in the back of your mind is this thinking: what is the least amount of work that I need to do to earn money?

Read that sentence a few times and think logically whether this type of thinking will get you successful (in any field).

I don’t think so.

In other words, you’re looking for shortcuts. Well, then success will take a shortcut around you too…

So what’s a good content page then? Here’s my guideline:

It’s a page that I am PROUD of.

I look with a critical eye at what I have written and then I wonder whether I’ll be proud to put that on MY site. (This goes mainly for my tennis site – or in your case, your expertise or passion site)

My site is a reflection of me.

It shows my expertise, my attention to detail and how much work I put into something that interests me. A future client who wishes to have tennis or mental coaching can see whether I know something and whether I will work hard towards our common goal.

I also wonder whether I would be proud to show my page to other tennis coaches and players and whether that page would impress them, give them answers to their questions and whether they would recommend it to someone else too.

I also wonder whether that page belongs at LEAST to the top 10 of pages on this topic on the internet, but usually I aim higher – top 5 pages on that subject.

So the questions to ask to tell whether you have a good content page are:
1.    Is your page written so well that it BELONGS into top 5 of ALL pages on the internet on the topic?
2.    Are you proud of what you have written?
3.    Can you proudly show your page to fellow experts in your field and receive praise for what you have written?
4.    Did you give your best sharing your knowledge or did you take shortcuts?

You may also build websites on topics that you don’t know much about and therefore you hire writers to work for you. You might say that what they write is out of your control.

That’s a lame excuse. You can ask them very specifically to write what you want by giving them very clear instructions. This of course takes time and effort and it will not come naturally to you if you’re constantly thinking of shortcuts.

I have some excellent pages on my vacuum site that I am proud of which I did not write. But I gave the writer very specific instructions on which vacuums to review, how to review them, how I wish the formatting to look and I sent the article back twice before accepting it.

Again, you can ask yourself whether you’re proud of having this page on YOUR site which hundreds or thousands of people see.

Do you see only traffic stats or are you aware that these represent real people looking for real and useful information online?

Do you really want to share something useful and help these people (and earn money at the same time) or do you egoistically just want to earn money and not care whether people got anything useful from your site or not?

Your success online is not just based on picking the right keywords, writing articles and getting links.

It’s the kind of thinking explained in this article that that will set you apart from those who get 100 visitors per day after a year or more and still keep asking questions. And it’s this kind of thinking that needs to be in the back of your mind when writing pages and getting links.

Set high standards and you will get high rewards…

P.S. One more thing to keep in mind: let’s say that your »shortcut strategy« works and you actually managed to earn some good money online by creating lots of crappy sites that all together bring in some good money.

Are you REALLY happy now? Are you fulfilled? Are you doing good service to other people or is it just about you, you, you?

And is that really happiness? Think about it and what path you want to take with your online business and your life…

There are tools to automate most processes on twitter that will take some time to set
them up but these tools will reduce your time on Twitter to several minutes a day.

Twitter is also a great way to make yourself and your web presence more visible to a
broader audience in your niche, helps you find link exchange opportunities, and get to know other interesting people.

Every time you “tweet” (send a message of a 140 characters) on twitter you will get an
average response (a user clicking on a link in your tweet) of about 2% or 2 clicks per
100. These numbers may be slightly different for you.

Sign Up With Twitter

Sign up with Twitter @ http://twitter.com/

-Use a user name that includes your niche keyword preferably.

-click settings and give yourself a name. I used mydomain.com

-More Info URL: URL to your website, blog or other site.

-One Line Bio: be descriptive and interesting (you only have 140 characters)

-Location: this should be obvious

-Click on the pictures tab and upload a picture of your pretty self preferably.

-Click the design tab and play around with it a little bit. Upload a background image if
you like. Make it look a little different than standard look.

-Click the notices tab. Uncheck it all if you do not want emails send to your email
account. I unchecked it all since I don’t need more emails. I have enough of those
already.

Are you happy with the look of it?
If not you can come back later and change it.

-Click the Home tab at the top of the page.
On the right hand side do a little search for your niche and follow a few users. A few
will do for now.

Automate The “follow” Process

Go to http://www.twollo.com/ and Login with your Twitter username and password.

Once you are signed in you will see a box which reads “follow”…leave that.
The “up to” drop down menu – set that to “up to 500″. (It’s “up to” you)

In the box that reads: Twitterers talking about: Enter your niche keyword. Click Add.

You can add as many keywords as you want. One at a time (can be more than 1 word).
You will figure this out later as you get familiar with this.

Test It
Click on “Quick Run”next to your keyword.
This will add a few followings to you Twitter account.

Twollo will periodically find Twitter users with the keywords you are adding.

Add more keywords later if you want to grow your Twitter account faster.

Wait a day or so and see what it does for you. Don’t go crazy with this in the beginning.
The beauty is that Twollo will find users to follow for you which tweet about your
keyword/s.

No manual work to find Twitter users to follow, unless you want to.

You can always find people to follow by going to http://search.twitter.com/ or use the
search function on twitter.

Bulk Follow and Unfollow

When you have too many people that don’t follow you, you do not have to unfollow them manually anymore. Every 2 days or so you can go to: http://www.dossy.org/twitter/karma/

Sign in with your Twitter ID and password. Click on Whack (I didn’t pick that name).

Twitter Karma will download all your followers and followings from Twitter. Be patient.
This may take a while.

The larger your twitter “followship” the longer it will take. It’s worth the wait and it’s FREE.

This would take you forever manually especially when your Twitter account has many
followers.

Where it says Show: drop down menu. Choose “only following”. Now, this will show you the people who you are “following only”. You can choose one by one or just bulk unfollow the checked.

Do the same with “only Followers” which means the ones that you have not followed yet. I just check them all and bulk follow.

I don’t want my Twitter account to look too unbalanced. If people don’t follow you after a couple of days, they probably won’t follow
you.

Automate Your Tweets

Sign in with your Twitter username and password @ http://www.tweetlater.com

Check: Automatically send a welcome message to new followers.

My message goes like this:
Thanks for your follow! I will make sure to follow you back. Find out more about me on my website: http://www.paradise-pattaya.com/

Check: Automatically follow people (new followers) who follow me from this point
forward.

Check: if you select this option, TweetLater will automatically unfollow those folks who
unfollow you. To protect you from any system glitches, we will never unfollow more than ten people in one single go.

Don’t check the email option unless you love hundreds of emails because tweetlater will send an email to your email account every time someone follows you.

Click save.

On top click on “Tweets”, then on “New Tweets”.

Tweet: here you write your tweet 140 characters. I usually check Save As Draft: Save
this tweet text as a draft that can be re-used later.

That way you can find the same tweet for later re-use. Here you can also schedule your tweets to be “tweeted” at a later point in time. This is a very useful automation.

***Sidebar***
Occasionally Tweet something that is not just focused on your site. Talk to someone from your twitter account. Maybe upload an image to twitpic. I get traffic from http://twitpic.com/ as well since they allow you to have a link to your web site in your
account.

You will have a lot of online marketers as followers. Let them market what they want. You only see them in your twitter “timeline” anyways and they may sometimes Re-tweet your tweets. Each person only sees the tweets of the person he/she follows anyways.

There is no way that you can read everything (or want to read) what others “tweet” about when you have many followers. People can connect with you via “direct messages” or by replying to your Tweets.

Most people who are interested in your tweets usually only follow a limited numbers of
“Twitterers” (a new vocabulary here). These people will see your tweets and maybe click on them today or tomorrow.

My friend told me a few days ago that he was delaying his decision to finally start an online business because he felt that the competition is too tough. He had an idea for a niche and typed a few keywords into Google to see who was his main competition.

The top spots were taken by about.com, consumersearch.com and other massive websites. Not only have these website pagerank 6, 7 or 8 and Alexa rating below 10,000, there are also very skilled writers posting their articles.

“How I am going to beat them? Impossible.”

Here are 3 reasons why this fear is empty:

They dominate only for a few keywords. These sites are optimized for a few keywords and they do rank highly for them. But let me tell you this: my tennis website was found for 7825 different keywords in October of 2008.

I have optimized the site for maybe 100 keywords and the rest just happened. It’s the so called long tail and it brings a LOT of traffic.

Pagerank isn’t everything. I have a website with pagerank 3 that keeps changing the #1 spot with a website with pagerank 5. My site is themed around a certain product and the competing site is not. Google is smart enough to recognize the specialized topic of my site and push it higher in the rankings.

Google cannot tell whether your article is helpful or not. For example this blog has plenty of very good articles (I hope so) but it receives only 50 daily visitors. But one of my other sites has had all articles written by a hired writer who researched the web and created new articles based on already available information on the web.

Those articles mean nothing new and are not written by an expert, but that site still receives over 2500 visitors per day.

You don’t have to write like a Pullitzer prize journalist in order to start an online business that earns good money. Success in any field is based on 5% talent and 95% hard work.

Put in the hard work of writing 200 keyword optimized solid (not perfect) articles and you’ll be rewarded with very nice traffic figures from Google, Yahoo and other sources. Nice traffic will also bring nice earnings.

You’ll also learn tons of stuff about starting an online business and you’ll become more experienced and will make fewer and fewer mistakes. If you wait for that perfect moment to start, there will always be something to distract you and delay your decision.
