Success Saturday: Secrets of Wealth
There aren’t really any secrets per se. Usually, it’s stuff you already know, but just don’t want to do. But, there are always things you don’t know, or have overlooked, or haven’t paid much attention to, and it’s those things that could be, for you, the difference between struggling day by day and striking it rich.

Is there a quick road to success? Immediate gratification, the American Way, lol. I’m just happy to have my Sunday-Saturday job. I wish it was more of a Monday-Friday job, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers
The quickest roads to wealth are to either win the lottery or marry rich. Of course, if you don’t define success as being wealthy, there is no quick route to success. Unless, of course, you define success in some way that you already have it.
Hi Dan, about that 1st link: there must be Internet money secrets with the amount of people
who claim to know them…haha! I believe that most money bloggers make $100.00 per year,
if that, but claim to have a $10,000.00 per month cash stream. I think the people who really
make big money blogging don’t write about it or have ads on their site in many cases, but instead
offer a service or something they have created. I think there should be a law requiring a blogger to
provide proof of their claimed earnings…wouldn’t that be nice?
I guess it depends upon how you define secrets. If it’s something you don’t know and cannot easily find, maybe that is a secret.
I do think that they’re are money bloggers making the big bucks, but it’s not something you can do with any one source of income. At least not easily. Some bloggers in some niches may make good money with AdSense, but for most of us it’s going to require a diverse number of income streams in order to make a reasonable amount of money. And that may include products or services, as you mentioned.
And, I think that some bloggers and website owners don’t just have the one blog you know that they have, but several others that you never hear about. I know that some people have 100+ sites. If you can average $1.00 per day on a web site and have 100 sites, that’s $3,000 per month.
I average pennies a day on a handful of sites.
I’m not crazy about those awful Clickbank e-books, but the ProBlogger piece is solid. I hate when “resources” give people unfounded hope. Most people just don’t have what it takes to blog profitably (and it’s often an issue of motivation and attitude, not brains).
Often it’s more an issue of getting traffic than anything else.
Step 1. Stop buying ebooks. We all know you can find whatever they are “teaching” for free elsewhere on the net.
I’d change that to “Don’t buy too many eBooks.” You may be able to find the information free elsewhere, but buying an eBook can save you time. But, if you keep buying eBooks, expecting to learn more unfound secrets, you’re eventually going to be disappointed (and run out of money).
A good eBook can be a quick way to get start, especially if you’re just starting out and have no idea even where to begin looking. But, continually buying into the sales pitches or continually looking for some new and easier way to make money online isn’t going to get you far at all.
I think that’s where many people go wrong. They buy an eBook, discover there’s more to achieving results than just reading the book, and then they jump to the next eBook, expecting to find some kind of roadmap that will put money in their bank account without them having to do a thing.
