His Best Blog Tip EVER:
Be patient. Do good work, keep doing good work and then do more good work. That’ll pay off.
I know, we know it’s obvious. My parents have told me that LOADS of times and I bet their parents also told that to them too. We tend to overlook things which are right in front of us. We think that these tips are old fashioned that might not work anymore because we think that we’re in the internet age where all things are advanced and techie. These are timeless principles, it will never be changed. It’s the law of nature. It’s the golden rule. It’ll work work work.
And one last thing, I honestly expected a long one from this guy because he’s the guru of the gurus. When I read his tip at first I was like very disappointed, but when I reread it several times. It was like yeah that’s right, I get it. It’s one of the best blog tip EVER.

Awesome quote - and I would expect nothing less from Seth, especially after reading Purple Cow. Really motivational - well done on getting that Carl.
That gives me an idea of a post :twisted:
That is a great tip. Noting ever comes fast. Hard work and patience!
Haha, yeah, everyone wants there to be some really big secret about making money online, but the truth is that success is really just about picking something and sticking with it long after the others have given up.
In the blogging world, it really does take months (or even a year or more) before your site starts to gain moment (for most of us anyway). Most people give up after a couple months when they haven’t made the big money. The ones who put out quality content and stick it out are the ones who end up making a living this way. Some even get rich. :)
It sounds so simple doesn’t it and it’s so easy to overlook simple principles like this but I agree. I think you can look at it a different way - keep pushing through the hard times, have persistence and you’ll win out in the end.
Yes, we often get carried away by the latest widget on the market and lose focus. There is no need to advertise as long as we provide genuine value.
Very nice tip from Seth Godin. It may sound simple at first, but yep, it’s very meaningful. :wink:
The recent PR update really sucks :P.. sponsored posts have always been lucrative now that with this PR, it’s not easy to become a full time blogger anymore.. i wonder what would happen in PPP since that lots of sites have got demoted. I bet that there are over 160++ opp in PPP looking for pR5 and above.. what are they gonna do about that :shock:
I guess you dropped that on the wrong post bro.

Great stuff. Its the obvious stuff that goes unnoticed. Thanks for point it out. :smile:
There’s a helluva lot packed into that short statement. There is a lot inferred by what he says. Set rocks. In fact, his whole shtick on remarkableness is the basis for the name of my blog.
Hey Carl,
I noticed this weekend that my blog went up from PR2 to PR3… I got shocked! I guess I wasn’t complaining.
Cheers,
Carlo
Be the turtle of good work. While others are bypassing you with rabbit speed. Come up from behind with something better. Great post.
what else is there to make things work. not many people want to work. so anyone who want to do things that other people wouldn’t do is definitely the biggest winner.
This tip should photocopied and passed out to every new person trying to “make money online”. If you look at some of the Internet Marketing forums, there is always those few people who make almost no effort and they’re wondering why they don’t make any money.
Hand it to Seth - who is also the best speaker I’ve ever heard - to come up with the best money-making blog tip ever.
And it’s SO true.
The first tidbit of information I always share with my blog readers and newsletter subscribers is that there are no ‘get rich quick’ secrets to running a successful blogging business.
Success comes to them that continually strive for excellence and who persist through and past the learning phases of any venture.
Cheers,
Ros
