The 90 Days Blogging Challenge

The 90 Days Blogging Challenge

No Payin' with No Gain?

I joined a very popular blogging platform in late January 2013 (almost 2 months ago at the time of writing) and was on a mission to blog for 90 days - "consistently".

I have experience of blogging and know it is no easy work option. If you want to write good quality short or long article or videos, its just like writing an essay. It requires research, writing, challenging the findings and formulating your own opinion and writing style. Having done it inconsistently for 4 years, I have learn to develop a realistic work load and plan, because I know what is realistically achievable in a realistic time frame. I have no delusions or illusions with which I aim to fool myself or anyone else.

My Coach LAUGHED when I said £1000 a month part time!

I have a "coach" in the system. She gave me a "coaching call" last week. Sort of. I told her my realistic expectations of an income given the time and energy I had to invest. "£1000 a month would be great!" I told her. "...and I'm thinking of integrating a MLM/ Network Marketing business I was in." I said. She LAUGHED! - Considering it has taken me four years just to prize my frirst check from the knawing cluthes of Clickbank, my expectations are quite ambitious and even so may still lead to disappointment.

Burnout Wallets Litter the Internet 

"You want to earn £1000 but only willing to blog for 3 times a week for a few hours and only invest £50 a month?" Actually yes! And I believe my realistic expectations won't frustrate me to BURNOUT like many internet marketers do and BURNUP thier WALLETs in the process. My realistic expectations will keep me in the game long after other 'hares' have outrun the 'tortoises'.

She has been in internet marketing for apparently 2 years and has used some of the same training and tools I have subjected myself to. She claims to be achieving a lot now - once she decided to knuckle down a few months back. She has invested in the blogging platform with time and money and consequently has begun recouping from her investment. Her investment so far in two years has, as she revealed tonight been £10,000 - that's £10,000 in just 2 and a half years.

I have a realistic budget which I aim to stay within the approximate boundaries of - I have shared it on this blog. It's £50 ($75) per month. If I invest extra, it's usually a 2 year hosting or web addresses. I don't throw money at apps, or systems that claim to automate backlinks etc, as having tried a few - I found them ineffective. However - if you google me (Ann Campbell, Wolverhampton or Hypnotherapist) you will find thousands of backlinks about me anyway.

Hold on tight to your wallet - they may want to take you for a bumpy ride.

My £50 Challenge means I don't leave myself PREY to the sharks and Internet Marketers who want to lead you into their lair on the promise of easy money and high returns for 'instant, automated programs or systems' that you have to sell on to other gullible self-marketing, self-employed, wanna-be work-from-home individuals.

She LAUGHED but just a few days later (tonight) - I watched her 'webinar' and guess what? She had titled it around the theme "How to make £1000 income.... in a month", "...and you can incorporate your Network Marketing business".

The Overwhelmed Prefer Realistic Goals

It seems she has stopped laughing. Apparently, its a theme and hope that seems to have netted a flood of interested 'realistic' thinkers like myself who don't want to spend 4 hours each day blogging in order to become disenchanted with the sales pitch that promises £1000 A DAY! And of cose the advantage to them is relistic thinkers like me may net a few big one, that pay them huge 'pass ups' if we fail to invest big bucks 'All In' as they say.

So glad I watched. I must be more of an inspiration than I gave myself credit for!
