Blog Posts That Got Me Started

I first learned that the notion of making money online was possible around June of 2006 and like most people was astonished by the possibility. I remember sitting at my desk at Citigroup and somehow stumbling upon the whole make money online industry and as I think about my early development much of it was guided by blog posts.
Here are a few of the early blog posts I got the most value from as I developed my own monetizable business models. Many of these still apply today.
- John Chow’s The Internet’s Biggest Google Whores & So You Want To Be A Google Whore – To the best of my recollection these were the first posts I found while searching for online business models. Although these posts don’t provide actual making money advice, they were a huge eye-opener at the potential. Thanks John.
- Shoemoney’s $10,000 Experiment with PPC Part 1 & 2 – These were one of the first functionally relevant posts that got me away from research mode into action mode. I printed at least 5 copies of both posts and kept them at my office and almost every room of my house. I read them at least 20 times each, highlighted, and wrote notes all over these posts.
- Enough Bullshitting Lets Make Money In 24 Hours or Less – Aojon had an entertaining yet highly volatile blog. One post would be a helpful, motivating article and the next was an exaggerated off-the-cuff rant, but nonetheless I was first introduced to PPC arbitrage and urgent action from Jon’s blog.
- Quadzilla’s Do It Fucking Now – The single most motivating post to get off your ass and work until you make millions that I’ve ever read. Nothing functional but a great push to take everything you’ve learned and to Do It Fucking Now! Still words to live by in most areas of my life and I have emailed it to many friends in all industries.
Keep up the good work, I like your writing.
