So many people has been struggling to make it from the internet via blogging, this is because they were told by their friends that it’s the easiest and the most fastest way to make money or, they were influenced by some spammy adverts they saw on Google that promise them overnight cash.
While some are really motivated and passionate about blogging. We all know that every single day, thousands of new blogs are coming online and while the new ones are emerging, many other ones are also dying off.
The question now is, why are you always struggling with your blog just to make some $$$$$$? Is it that the barber does not know how to shave or the clipper is not sharp?
From my own findings, I discovered that the main reason why you’re finding it difficult is either you’re not doing it right or, you’re following the wrong kind of advice and, the worst thing that can happen to anyone is to follow wrong advice.
Another thing that is very important is what you feed your mind with. Have you heard of the popular saying before that………
“The world is like a mirror, it gives back to every individual the true reflection of his thoughts”
Have you heard of that before? I guess yes and, it’s so true. Your mindset is the greatest tool you’ve got and you can either use it for or against yourself so, the choice is yours now, you need to ask yourself…..Do i really have the blogging mindset?

There is a very big power in our mindset and we should always use it to better our life and business. Yaro starak is one of the first people I discovered when I started dabbling on this blogging stuff the first time.

Remember, before you can change your business or anything else, you must first of all change yourself, you must first of all change your thinking and the way you see things, you must first of all conquer yourself and, you must also change your blogging mindset if you really want to start seeing the results you deserve.

Harleena Singh says
Hi Theodore,
Great ccompilation of awesome bloggers I must say, and something new on your blog, which again is wonderful 🙂
Yes, I quote agree with you that the mindset of most bloggers as I’ve seen IS money oriented, and while that’s alright as it might be their mean of income, is that all there is to blogging??? It does amaze me at times to the extent some bloggers would go, just to make money, for which they must change their mindset if they really want to be successful, just as you mentioned.
Ah…I really haven’t heard of most of them, except for Yaro of course, but we lost touch after his mother was ailing long back and he wasn’t around much that time on the Blogosphere, but would be great to get back and learn more from him now. And yes, Sergio’s post too I keep reading off and on, but the others are totally new names to me, which I shall surely be checking out now.
Thanks for sharing more of them with us. Have a nice week ahead 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
You welcome Harleena,
I’m happy we both share same view on almost everything blogging 🙂 and I love that. The first bloggers should do is change their mindset and start seeing the truth and yes, it’s not just about the money as you said and, they have to understand that.
I was aware when Yaro’s mother was ill which took him away for a long time but, I’m happy he is back now.
I’m sure you will also like the other posts, just check them out and let me know what you think :),
Have a great week too mate.
Phanindra says
Theodore , I have seen that you are an excellent participator in almost every network. I see you on Pat’s blog and I have seen your articles on Facebook groups.
The posts which you have collected are very good and thanks for this great compilation. Few of them are very motivational and there are lots of insights present inthem. I myself have seen lots of agencies advertising for SEO and when I wanted to check their works, None. Few of them don’t reply back with their works and even if they reply they take utmost care of not mentioning anything w.r.t to what is asked. Worst SEO Advice is a very good write up along with the others mentioned.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks a lot for the compliments Phanindra,
Yea, I’m a big fan of Pat and, I’m happy you’re also his reader. There are lots of those fad tips out there and if we don’t take time, they will ruin us.
It is therefore better for us to be careful of who we listens to.
Thanks a lot for the visit man, I really appreciate it indeed. Wishing you more blogging success.
Michael Chibuzor says
Thanks bro for giving my post a boost. I’m glad your readers would benefit from that “controversial” post. God bless ya.

Thanks a lot for the kind words and, have a great week.
Sue says
Wow, great collection. I guess most blogger who failed to earn money from blogging is because they had wrong impression of what blogging is all about. We blog because we want to share something we learn or we enjoy the most. Earning money is just secondary. Love what you do and share what you have then everything else will fall into places. 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
That’s the spirit Sue,
And, I’m happy you already have the right mindset. Keep it up and the sky will be your starting point. Thanks a lot for the visit and please, do visit us again.
John Gibb says
hi Theo
That’s an interesting compilation…
I like Michael’s article, I even commented on it yesterday…
Gleen sounds like a real dude with some experience under his belt, will check him out soon…
By the way, is there a reason why none of those posts are hyperlinked?
Theodore Nwangene says
Mike is really a correct dude John,
And, i’m happy you also like what he is doing. Glenn is also a genius whom I’m sure you’ll also like. I liked to the articles but, didn’t use their keywords and, i have no reason for that. Thanks for stopping by.

Theodore Nwangene says
You welcome Sergio,
You don’t need to thank me after-all, you deserve more than this. I’ve really learnt a lot from you brother. Keep up with the good works.
Susan Neal says
Hi Theodore,
Thanks very much for these recommendations. I’ve just checked out the first one and like Michael’s take on the quality content issue – I do think we need to produce content that’s of a high quality, but agree it also needs to be helpful and relevant. A poor quality post that’s badly written, maybe hard to understand, boring and/or full of errors isn’t going to be very helpful, though, so I don’t think you can say quality doesn’t matter – in my view it does.
Sue
Theodore Nwangene says
Quality does matter Sue,
And i agree with your points but, what Mike meant was that, it all depends on your own definition of quality. But be it as it may, quality really matters a lot if you want your blog post to be valued and interesting. Thanks for stopping by Sue and, have a fabulous weekend :).

Okto says
I think mindset has taken a big part of blogger success. Great post.
NB : I just curious about the (freedigitalphotos.net) image you have used. Do you upload the image (and attached it here within the post) on purpose? There’s watermark on it.
Theodore Nwangene says
Having a positive mindset will really transform any business Okto,
And yes, I’m aware of the watermark. It was just that i couldn’t download the image because of poor connection and i was in a haste so, i had to take a capture of the image.
Thanks for stopping by my man.

Jan Koch says
Hi Theodore,
very good compilation of blog posts. Though I have to blame you for loosing almost 30 minutes of my budgeted time, because I couldn’t stop reading 😉
Actually I’m just putting the strategy shared in the 5. article into action, I’m really curious how it performs!
I’ll definitely write a blog post about this strategy and ping you, when it’s up.
Keep it on 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
Haha Jan,
I apologize for that 🙂 but, the main thing is that the 30 minutes you spent wasn’t a waste. I will definitely stop by and read the post when you publish it, just don’t forget to notify me. Thanks a lot for coming.

GLisa says
Using the word “nigger” to describe one of your bloggers makes you sound desperate to be “edgy”…and also makes you sound like a dumb one yourself.
Theodore Nwangene says
