Stop Chasing For The Next Big Thing

Posted at 30th January 2010 · Filed in Blogging Tips, Money

If you receive an email from a so called IM guru with something which starts or ends with ‘the next big thing’, just ignore it.

I have seen to many failures due to that. About a year ago, I have a lot of links at my blogroll page, but when I reviewed all the links again, I found out that some of the domains have already expired. Those bloggers started with make money online blogs, but seems like they gave up half way.

The main problem is – they were chasing one opportunity after another. Always looking for ‘the next big thing’. Another problem is – they believed the hype.

There are so many information out there on making money online. If you want to try all, you brain will just die. You will be suffering from information overload. You need to stop this. You need to stop chasing ‘the next big thing’. Just stick to one.

If you started making money online with Adsense, stick to Adsense. You can still make money with Adsense. I am. If you started with eBay, stick to it as well. My brother is still making a lot of money by selling underwears (not used ones :) ). He knows that I make money from Adsense, but he’s sticking to what he knows best.

You only need to be consistent, and focus your attention to one thing. Set your SMART goals and targets. Then only you can succeed.

Happy Blogging!

    Start a blog is easy. But hard to maintain and earn money. Passion is the key that keep me going. ;)

    @alan
    I doubt it as they seem eager at first, but then ….

    @cyza
    Sticking to what we know best is better than chasing something we don’t know nothing about

    @Jayce

    Agree with you. I always want to be ‘big Adsense’ earner and make post paid, but finally I admit I’m more into ebay and I will give more priority on ebay.

    it all boils down on the objective of your blog. somehow i feel that rojak is so delicious in blogging. but, i still stick to my edition of jalan2 cuti2 and jalan2 cari makan type of posting. dejavu when u can post whatever u like without restrictions and blockage by anyone. hehe :)

    @Samdaddycool
    Not that you can’t try other things, you can do that. Problem with other people is that they just can’t finish what they started.

    @KNizam
    This is a personal blog, I too can blog whatever I want :)

    @titan
    dah jumpa lubuk, stick to it

    @Jayce
    Money can become a factor if it is a lot

    @Cyza
    Making money with blogs as priority.

    @puan tunepal
    You can start with a bang if you want to. It’s not a problem. But stick to one thing.
