What Keeps You Going ?

    As I guess a newbie, well 3 months now there are times you despair with no clicks and low reads. So I am asking are there many days when even you experienced guys get a $0 for the day and how do you cope with earning $0 for say 3 days in a row. Thing is I have tried everything with my placements etc and I think my sites are ok and the content is ok. So can you give me help into what drove you on to succeed. Thank you !

    On a bad day my earnings drop by 10-20%, never 100%.

    Interest, not money.

    I earned near nothing for about a year, just learning mainly. Then I was stuck at $1 per day for some months. Now $50 per day.

    think of it this way, you got your job, your school etc.
    If you make it, you'll be happy and dandy, if you don't what have you got to lose anyway.
    You WILL be smarter than when you started

    so unless you are required to spend your time at Nasa conference somewhere, you might as well spend it on the net.

    My desire to make money online makes keep going. I have been struggling for years and I still do not make a decent amount of money till now. But I believe that one day I will so even though I give up for months I come back online and struggle again.

    It's strange how motivational that Google check can be every month! Getting past the $100 mark and ensuring payment every month was what drove me to start with. Now it's more about creating new 'personal bests'.

    The first few months is almost always bad. But what kept me going is that I knew other people had been successful. So if they could make it, so could I. What I needed was to find out how they did it and duplicate their success. You'll be amazed how easy it is actually to get tons of visitors and also $$... :)

    I finally after many failed attempts, started making money and it is getting better all the time. I also love the journey and the learning process.

    I appreciate that.. thank you... I will be on 3-day leave starting next wednesday and I will be staying at home since then until sunday so I can have several useful lists for my blog.. The more I post in my blog, the more it become visible to search engines due to added keywords, so the more visitors will come carrying clicks... giving-up this time is totally not an option...

    What keeps me going is the fact that I want to create a good site for my visitors and I dont do it for money, of course if in the process I can earn some to pay my hosting bills and other expenses, I dont complain! What keeps me going is the belief that you can do it when you are motivated enough... no one or nothing can push you down.

    Well for me, I try to put the money issue aside and focus on what I love to do the most - creating webpages and seeing visitors coming to your site.

    The initial of sharing and also make money keep me going. It's just seem as a game, never feel give up when you found your earning is dropping, read more and get some idea to raise it up
