I have no idea why, but I'm having a lot of trouble staying motivated. I know EXACTLY how to increase my earnings to $100 a day, but I just sit on my ass getting $20 a day. Yeah it sounds ridiculous because it is. It's like depression adsense style... so what do you guys do or think about to stay motivated?
Just think about the things you can buy with the extra money. Gifts for your parents or children perhaps? How lovely~
If you can't get motivated to make $100/day without breaking a sweat, maybe Internet webmastering isn't for you. Have you considered construction work?
Maybe the gap between $20/day and $100/day seems like too big of a gap to cross and too much work. How about shooting for more modest goals -- $25/day, then $30/day, then $35/day, and so on. On the other hand, there are certain people who simply can't self-motivate themselves and depend on others to motivate them. These are generally people who will not be successful in life, regardless of what they do. Motivation can often come from being competitive, wanting to improve your lifestyle, gaining wealth and fame, achieving self-respect, or simply doing something interesting or fun.
A simple solution my friend, music, an honored goal and stop thinking about money, what if you become so famous and be the best on your local area, what if you build a website that someone will buy with 2 billions after 3 years, dude think of future, technology, being a human ....
$20/day times 30 days in a month is a pretty good sized check each month. $6,000 a year. Most would dream of having extra income like that.
Look to the future! Set goals! Place a picture in your mind of what things will look like when you're making $100 a day, and when you're feeling lazy, recall that picture!
I try and remind myself that I would be in cold old England now working as an office slave instead of choosing my own hours and where I want to live. Thats enough motivation for me!
spend some of that $20/day money and hire a motivational speaker or atleast buy a motivational book (any suggestions on which book he can try?).
Like others, I do not depend on AdSense, I just use it to generate something from my websites. - Instead of getting nothing, at least you can get something...eventually. What motivates me is that you can build websites up and turn them into something big, then you make a few bob by adding an AdSense code up! edit: $20 dollars per day is good; I should imagine you get get a check or either something from Google everymonth...- $20 dollars a day is not a low amount really.
I just think about passive income, and the idea of sitting on a beach somewhere whilst my websites do the work for me Other than that I really enjoy making my websites, so even though they don't make much, Im not that fussed because I love doing it. It's just a hobby.
I think about my kid .... I need to keep making money so that she gets the best. Seeing her happy, makes me happy. $20 a day is not enough for this .... So i cant relax on cash like that. Just too small.
Good comment. I saw lots of similar people too but i dont think amoeba22 is one of them since s/he already reached 20$ per day which is not easy if s/he does not have an old and successfull site by luck. I hope i will have such a motivation in the future too..
lol... yea I should have replied to this post. anyways, there are some good tips in here. It really motivated me to start working harder to improve my adsense earnings. I've set my goals to a more manageable size and hopefully I will be able to follow through. time will tell...
