Well if you answered YES to the question ‘Are you doing a half ass job at blogging?‘ you are not alone, not by a long shot. Stats show that the huge majority of blogs are dormant, because they didn’t do what the owner expected. Blogging is a great way to make money online yet so many bloggers earn zip. Why is that?

1. Lazy Ass Bloggers

Right off the top we need to put LAZY. This of course applies to every area of marketing online. There are so many lazy people that figure they can make a quick buck or get rich quick but they have no clue as to how to do it.

So these lazy ass marketing wannabees just duplicate other sites, some even stealling the content from other successful bloggers. Usually these people give up after they have been caught and told to remove their stolen or duplicated content.

Others just get by with as little work as possible, which in most cases doesn’t included much keyword research giving the site little chance of success. I’ll be the first to admit that I have done this and sometimes it has worked for me but more times it hasn’t.

Now when you they find that the new site they created is doing absolutely nothing as far as earning they leave the site and start another one. I have seen people with 10 or 15 sites all on the same thing and yet none of them are making money.

This is why there are thousands upon thousands of blogs that just take up cyberspace and earn nothing at all.

Clueless Hard Workers

I will put myself right at the top of this clueless section because I spent so much time just spinning my wheels and it’s not because I am lazy. I am far from lazy and was even a workaholic before I had a heart attack in 2004. Even though I am not lazy I am easily distracted which has caused me no end of frustration. I am getting better and more focused but it took a few years.

Think about THIS for a minute. It doesn’t matter how hard you work if you are working on the wrong things. A priority, before creating a blog, is keyword research, yet so many bi-pass this crutial step and then wonder why they don’t have success.

Step back, look at your blog and then ask yourself the following question and be honest with yourself. “Would you stay on your own blog if you had to read what you are producing?”

Like I said I get easily distracted so I do have a number of blogs that are just taking up space and so the answer to that question would have to be NO.

Now the mind can play tricks on us so even though I would admit I would stay on my own blogs my mind would tell me other would so I continued with the blogs even when I should have dropped them or put more research into them to see why they weren’t gettign targeted traffic.

Help Is Just A Click Away

Two ebooks that have helped me put my focus in the right places are:

1. The Authority Black Book, and 2. The 2009 Blog Money Guide by Jack Humphrey, just watch the video and join Jack to get your hands on the money guide, plus you will get more videos that will help you learn and focus so you can make more money online.

It’s so easy to keep doing what we are doing while waiting for things to happen. Even though we know doing the same thing over and over will just give you the same results over and over. A change needs to be made to change your results.

Even old dogs like me can learn new tricks if we listen and apply.

Jack Humphrey’s a pretty smart fella and we can all learn a lot from Jack. Keep up the great instruction Jack it helped me to open my eyes and see where I am I was off-track.
