Money Secrets

And by the way, I’m asking the question, not answering it? Truth is, I haven’t got a clue because I don’t believe there are any money secrets.

Money has been around since long before I was a kid,(nice to know there are some things even older than I am), and I grew up learning that if I wanted money I could either earn it or… well, I could do without if I didn’t want to work for it, because I sure as hell wasn’t prepared to go to jail for it!

But sometimes you have to wonder if some folks just aren’t more interested in trying to uncover the secrets of making money online, than they are in actually making the money in the first place. It’s like they’ll put all their effort, time and money into looking for the easy, magic bullet that will make them rich. If they put half the amount into just doing what they’ve already been told, they’d probably be rich by now. And if not rich, at least they’d be a helluva lot better off than they are at the minute.

Now don’t get me wrong. I know what it’s like to suffer from SMS syndrome, (secret money system). I suffered for months and to be honest, I almost thought it was incurable. In fact, I still have occasional relapses, so maybe it is!

But there aren’t any secret money systems out there. Not unless you count the secrets the gurus keep telling you about anyway. (is it a secret when it’s splattered all over everyone’s inbox?)

What there is are lots of systems that, (if applied) will help you earn money. It’s up to you which one you care to use. But the only way to get to the money is to actually ‘use’ the system. Heck, it might not even be a system as such. Maybe it’s just information and you have to come up with your own system of putting it all together?

Maybe you want to use blogs; or maybe you’d prefer building niche websites, or you might prefer network marketing… or any one of a zillion other ways there are for earning money online. Whichever route you decide to go, there’s more than information out there for you to use already. You don’t need to waste any more time looking for the latest ’secret system’.

Personally, I decided a long time ago that the ’secret system’ I was going to use was article marketing. Now yes, I’ve developed my method of article marketing to be somewhat different to what most article marketers do. But it’s still not anything like what could possibly be described as ’secret’.

Do I know everything there is to know about article marketing? Hell no.

Do I know anything that isn’t freely available to everyone else about article marketing? Hell no.

So how come I can use it to send traffic to my sites and increase my rankings while others can’t?

Because instead of looking for the ’secrets’ that will let me do article marketing without actually doing article marketing, I just actually get on and do it!

And there goes my secret. Now you all know what it is, .

It doesn’t matter which system you decide on. The choice is entirely yours. But if you just channel half your energy into doing it instead of  looking for ways to get out of doing it, you’ll be a whole lot better off a whole lot quicker.

And by the way, if you do decide you want to go the article marketing route, (or even if you don’t), head on over to the PhantomWriters.com I recently went through Bill’s book on using article marketing to impact your SEO efforts and I have to say it’s one of the most awesome books I’ve ever read. Not just on article marketing, but also on SEO in general.
