I've decided I'm going to apply
Steve's latest post on the awesome concept of love dollars to my personal development blog!
I've made enough to cover a couple of cups of coffee, but obviously this isn't going to make a dent in my finances. And I love writing about what I know and how I feel about personal development topics, and sharing those tidbits with other people. Since I already make money doing what I love #1 - piano playing! - I thought I could give this love dollars concept a try where I'm making nearly no money - my other creative outlet, my personal development blog.
So I figure, if I want to make more money on my blog - which I think has
superb content -
I need traffic. Right? Right. If I got
traffic, and those people passed along my blog to others if they found useful information on it, I'd get more traffic. More traffic = more likely to make money on the blog. And then I'd be making love dollars!
How should I build traffic? I should write about what people want to read about. Seems simple enough. Problem is, I'm not sure what people want to read about. So... why not ask on these forums? You all are interested in personal development, and I'm sure there are a lot of topics you want to read about that haven't been covered elsewhere yet - or maybe you just want a unique twist on a viewpoint you have so you can analyze what you know in a different, fresh light. I'm pretty different than most of the people in this forum - I don't believe in the LoA, I don't believe in psychics, I'm atheist, I don't believe in syncronicities, and I think dream analysis is nonsense.
You'll surely get a different outlook on life from me!
Here's my blog, so you all can see it:
Face Your Fork - There’s a fork in the road. Which path do you choose?
What are some things you can help me do so I can earn my first couple of love dollars blogging?
- Blog post suggestions - Have a post idea, or a topic you want discussed? Post it! I'll make a blog post ASAP about what I *honestly* know on the subject, no fluff, and I'll post it in a timely fashion. I'll even PM you when the post is up.
- Overall blog suggestions - Technical problems with the blog? Layout too hard to navigate? Can't find anything specific you want? Any suggestions you have that would improve the functional-ability of the website? Post them as well! I'll even PM you when I implement your suggestions - if done so - so you can check out the finished result of your suggestion.
- Anything else you can think of! - I'd love to hear any other comments as well!
You can post your suggestions, or PM me if desired.
For the mods! - I wasn't sure which forum to post this in. It's kind of... personal effectiveness, kind of business, kind of Steve's since I'm outright discussing his concept and applying it to my life, so... if this is in the wrong forum, could you pretty please move it?
And for everybody! - Need help figuring out a way to make love dollars with your chosen field? Post, and we can all help you out. I'll personally try to come up with five suggestions... and I won't even charge you a dollar.
