Don’t just do it for the money

A lot of people are entering the worlds of blogging and freelance writing as mechanisms to make money quickly and easily. Those people will soon realize that blogging and freelance writing are not quick and easy routes to making money. Blogging and freelance writing are not built for you to get rich quick. These occupations require desire, discipline, and dedication. You must have a passion for writing to succeed in this field. You may not want to hear this but you literally have to be willing to work for free to be truly successful at this. This can apply to any occupation. If your current job is not something that you find fun and if you would not be willing to do it for free, you are in the wrong occupation. That may be hard to swallow, but this mindset is imperative for many successful businesses. The people who are the happiest and most successful while working are the people who don’t view their job as work. Their job is what they love to do; it’s their passion.

If you don’t have a passion for writing, deciding to make a career out of blogging or freelance writing may not be the correct path for you. In fact, it is the perfect recipe for failure. Building a solid readership is contingent upon your level of passion for writing, the degree of exposure you are creating for your writing, and time. If you have a passion for writing, you won’t worry about the growth rate of your readership. A stagnant of even declining readership will most likely have little to no effect on you. Over time, if you are persistent about maintaining your passion and increasing your exposure, you will eventually build a solid readership. At that point, you can start determining how to monetize the web traffic you have created for yourself. If you don’t have a passion for writing, you primary concern is already the growth rate of your readership and making money. A stagnant or, even worse, a declining readership will have a devastating and detrimental effect on you. You will have no motivation to continue because you are only concerned about making money and you don’t have a passion for writing.

A passion for writing separates the bloggers and freelance writers who succeed from those who fail and quit. The reason is that when seems like things are going down hill, time is dragging on, and readership levels remain stagnant or decrease, only one thing can motivate you to continue: a passion for writing. If you don’t have that passion, you will most likely give up when things aren’t going well.

Although some bloggers, like Darren Rowse from Problogger.net, are examples that making a full-time income from blogging is possible, blogging and freelance writing should not/cannot be your primary job. Blogging and freelance writing are means for expression. Writing has to be one of your passions, but what you are blogging and freelance writing about is your true passion. What you are blogging about (your true passion) should be an indicator of what your primary occupation should be. Unless you are blogging about blogging (like Darren Rowse), you shouldn’t be expecting a primary form of income from blogging. Your primary income should be coming from your true passion, whatever that may be. Blogging and freelance writing (your secondary passion) can be used as a means to generate a secondary form of income to supplement (not replace) your primary form of income.

Blog Plug: "The World As We Know It"

From Swift

On my personal blog, The World As We Know It, I explore economics, entrepreneurship & culture. Topics span from presidential economics to air compression-powered cars. Short stories, music review and poetry make brief appearances as well. Links to my paid contributions for the financial blog 'Trade in Groups' are found on my personal blog. I offer financial, political and economic analysis for that site. Stock and options analysis is included as the blog is associated with TradeKing, an online brokerage.

If everyone is trying to sell, maybe you should consider buying?

Think about it. Why do you join a blog network? The likely answer is that you have a blog and are trying to gain exposure. You are trying to “sell” yourself to other bloggers. You want other bloggers to know what type of knowledge you have to offer them.

Have you ever considered “buying” what other people are trying to offer? Remember that it’s a blog “network”. Networking involves both buying and selling. You can’t just sell, sell, and sell without any intentions of buying.

Buying might actually be more beneficial for you than selling. You won’t always be able to find people who are interested in what you are selling, but you can always find people who want you to buy what they are selling.

Learn how to boost your online presence by buying, instead of selling. You’ll find out that buying is a lot easier than selling. In a blog network where everyone is trying to sell themselves, those who are buyers stand out. Those who are buyers are likely to be remembered by sellers. Those who are buyers are likely to learn something from the things they bought.

You shouldn’t buy everything, however. That can be just as counterproductive. Buy wisely and sparingly. The best investors don’t buy every stock in the market. They analyze their market, diversify their options, and use wisdom to buy a selection of shares that offer the best return.

Take the same approach when you use blog networks. Analyze your network. Peruse a diverse field of sellers. Consider buying from sellers that display potential for growth. You never know what type of returns they may bring for you.

Benefits of Performance-Based Syndication

The Performance-Based Syndication platform is a system that was created to assist and not replace a blogger’s earning potential.

The opportunity to syndicate content through Performance-Based Syndication can build a blogger’s online presence.

Every time a blogger’s syndicated post appears on SPONSCORE.com, it benefits from all of the marketing and syndication initiatives that SPONSCORE has taken.

A blogger’s ability to syndicate content through SPONSCORE is, in essence, a form of promotion and marketing for the blogger.

SPONSCORE is providing blogger’s with free marketing, syndication, and promotion. These are things that other organizations would charge for.

Contrary to the actions of other organizations, SPONSCORE does not charge bloggers for the use of SPONSCORE’s marketing initiatives. Instead SPONSCORE is actually providing the opportunity for blogger’s to earn revenue.

Start earning revenue today with the Performance-Based Syndication system.

Why do bloggers empower networks that exploit their labor?

SPONSCORE gives Performance- Based Syndicated bloggers 100% of the ad revenue generated by their syndicated blog, in addition to 50% of all donations made through the banner on their blog. SPONSCORE uses the remaining 50% of donations to fund the opportunities for Fixed-Value Syndicated freelance writers.100% of donations go to bloggers and writers, in addition to 100% of ad revenue for bloggers.

Why do bloggers join other blog networks that exploit their labor? Why do bloggers settle for networks that only give them a fraction of the revenue that their blog posts and articles really generate?

Some bloggers might make the argument that they would love to join SPONSCORE, but it just isn’t as big as these other networks. They might argue that SPONSCORE is not powerful enough to generate the kind of revenue that these other networks generate.

They’re right. SPONSCORE is not big enough. If only SPONSCORE was bigger…

The reason why the other blog networks have the size to generate greater revenue is for one simple reason:

Bloggers are literally empowering exploitative blog networks by joining these networks and only receiving a fraction of the revenue they generate. The more bloggers join these networks, the more powerful these networks become, the more revenue these networks generate and less the bloggers receive as an overall percentage of the total revenue that is generated.

STOP.

Stop joining blog networks that exploit your labor. It doesn’t matter if these networks are receiving tons of traffic everyday. You are only getting a fraction of what they generate.

No other network wants to do what SPONSCORE is doing. They all want to make a profit. SPONSCORE, quite frankly, is not in it for profit. How could SPONSCORE be in it for profit when it gives 100% of the ad revenue generated by individual blogs to the bloggers and 100% of donations to bloggers and freelance writers?

Bloggers have to realize that they alone have the power to make a difference. Leave the networks that exploit your labor and join the ONLY network on the web that is exploitation free. SPONSCORE can become just as powerful and get just as much traffic as all these other networks. But first, you have to stop empowering them and start empowering SPONSCORE. Imagine how much bloggers could be earning if they empowered and boosted the traffic of a blog network that gave them 100% of the ad revenue they generated, in addition to donations.

SPONSCORE has built the ONLY exploitation free system on the web. To be exploitation free, you can’t be in it for profit. SPONSCORE has been working for free all summer for you. Now it’s up to you to empower this network. Join the network. Become a Performance-Based Syndicated Blogger. Fuel a movement for change. Divided we may fail but united we will succeed.
