The Goodman’s Blog: Lifelong Learning and Sharing

At the advice of many gurus, I decided to use WordPress instead of Blogger. However, I found the WP suppport forum and documentation quite confusing for a non-techie like myself. I searched for more information in the Internet and physical books.

I posted a few blogs initially, then stopped and continued my blogs at typepad. Then I got approved for Adsense at this orginal blogsite. I didn’t know how to put my Adsense code in my blogs and did a lot of trial-and-error before being successful only yesterday. I did it by going to my cPanel and file manager and then locating the WP theme and sidebar so that I could insert the code. And then I remembered having paid, three weeks ago, for access to a website that showed video tutorials of what I need to monetize my WP blogs.

It took an email from the website owner, asking me for a testimonial to jog my memory. I scolded myself for not having clicked on it sooner. 

His name is Fidens Felix. He showed me in a few minutes how I could have done the same thing by going to my WP admin panel, without having to go thru my cPanel.

The other thing I learned from him was how to configure permalinks so that the search engines could tag my posts more effectively.

Lastly I was able to download WP plug-ins and various articles and PLR’s.

All at a measly $7.00!

Every guru of Internet Marketing tells me that 97% of netpreneurs fail. Even if they all went to the same seminars and took the same notes from the same gurus, only 3% would survive and prosper.

I guess it is not just a matter of knowing the technical skills of internet marketing. More important is the mindset of the netpreneur.

I’ve just finished reading (within two days) Harv Eker’s book: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. It was just so timely and valuable. For me, the biggest message is that we have been conditioned by our money blueprint.

If as a youth, your family beliefs focused on a comfortable life, then that is subsconsciously the goal that you will aim for. Chances are you will not be a risk taker and be content as an employee.  If you want to join the ranks of the multi-millionaires, you need to change your mindset, break through the comfort level, suffer pain along the way, take risks but then get better financial rewards.
