THE Million Dollar Question.

What you will read below is the MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION every blogger should ask themselves when they first get started.

"Did I start my website to MAKE MONEY TODAY or to build an asset that provides me an ongoing income AFTER it is built?"

A JOB is designed to provide immediate income, but an asset is not. An ASSET is something you build over a period of time. You don't make much money at first, but as it grows it can provide you a stable and predictable ongoing income for many months or years to come.

Think of a tollbooth as an example. You don't get paid for the tollbooth while you are building it, but after it's built, and the traffic stars rolling in, that is when it starts making money! The same holds true with your website.

You put in a TON of work on the front end, usually with very little to show for it. But at some point, things start to work and the growth and income begin to compound.

Start thinking of your website, blog or online business as an ASSET, not a job. You won't get frustrated if you think that way, but if you think of it as a job, you will more than likely quit because you aren't making the money you THINK you should be making for the amount of work that you do (on the front end).

Very few people think about their website as an asset. If you are truly hurting for money, you should get a job and do this as your side hustle. Do not go full-time right away. Keep chugging along part-time, stay the course, follow the training, stay persistent and consistent and you can build an awesome asset that is sellable AND provides a great ongoing income.

Thank you for throwing more light on the importance of having a website. Let's secure the future.

Very true. Thanks for sharing.

Great advise.

I needed to hear that today. Thankyou

If you want a hobby then blogging can be very rewarding that is if you actually get engagement, one of the very first questions folks need to ask is this a hobby or an investment in future outcomes and secondly, what am I selling/promoting and to whom am I promoting it to.

Get the answers to those questions firmly in your head and you will indeed be building an asset.

If you don't answer or reflect on those questions and you are surely on a slow burn to giving up.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Chuck it can be so easy not to take this journey seriously.

Good answer

Very true words, Chuck.

Million Dollar motivation for bloggers. Thanks for sharing it. 👍

I like that. I think you're exactly right! Especially to all the total novice like me on this affiliate program here LOL!!

A blog is a 401K of love and passion. You have to build and nurture your nest egg but the most important factors are your love for what you do and your passion for success. Good luck on your journey.
