He goes out and buys land. With money, like.

He goes out and buys seeds, and rents machinery.

And on the first day he goes out in the field, and plows a little.

Then, he takes a couple days off.

Then, he plows for a couple more hours.

Then he takes a couple more days off.

And he is doing this in mid June, mind you, if you know anything about farms and farming.

If you can't spell and can't write nor do you like to write, nor are you going to write, why the fuck would you be starting a project which entirely hinges on your ability to write, A LOT, FAST, and WELL ? Why would a blind guy buy cameras and put up a photog shingle ? Why'd an invisible girl answer talent ads ?

Why ?

you don't always have to write perfect grammar and mind-sizzling stories to make a sale with a blog.

yeah, but I wonder if the scenario that bad grammar may start to see penalties in the serps, as part of some splog catching algorithm

So what's the best way to commit to something like this? Seems like people have a hard time keeping on track, is it laziness or something? I find myself slacking when I should be working on my own stuff, sometimes.

2. Write your blogs BEFORE you come to GFY.

I wonder how many ex-Adult Webmasters are now working at Walmart or McDonald's due to this problem. I bet a lot of talented people out there, that just didn't have the discipline to do this work EVERY day.

Then I took 3 years off and lived off the residual income. :pimp:pimp

Now I'm in a different business, with no boss to tell me what to do... but the rules are the same:

1. Set your alarm clock.
2. Get your work done FIRST.

And what do you think about spending most of your time creating a "blog empire"? Is this something good to focus on? Creating 50-60 blogs and then updating them every day? That's part of my problem... working on something for a long time and not knowing whether or not it will work. Conversion ratios are like crap no matter what I do. Even when I do get the best targeted traffic and good conversions, it don't rebill!

I did seo, which is where a project like this could really do well. I would personally focus on less popular niches. If I were to get back into webmastering, I'd focus on anything other than babe/teen/etc.

My days were spent researching, studying traffic, building pages, and generating links and traffic. You just mentioned not wanting to waste time on something that might not pay out... unfortunately, that's the way it is!

Good luck :pimp:pimp:thumbsup

Nor did it build itself while the Romans slept and partied.
