A long time ago I was a young manager of a finance and loans company. I was working all hours and one day the Regional Director asked me why.At the time I thought this was a strange question as I obviously wanted to make my office successful. He went on to explain how it isn't what you do yourself that matters, but what you get others to do that's important. In other words you delegate.
He actually said he wouldn't mind if he came into my office unexpectedly and I was sitting with my feet up on my desk doing nothing - providing, of course, that the figures and stats were good.
This was an important lesson to me and this older, very experienced director taught me a lot about business and life in general.
Okay, what's this got to do with making money from blogging?
I've said before that I don't make as much money out of Mikes Money Making Mission as I do some of my other blogs. And that's true, but only partially true.
I also make money out of MMMM because other bloggers sometimes sign up to affiliate and money making programs that I mention. On these I get a commission. So it's really a case of what that director said, in as far as getting others to 'work' for you. This can make money and sometimes more than what you directly do yourself.
For example there's no way I could make money with something like FrenchFriendFinder and KoreanFriendFinder. I don't have sufficient visitors from those countries, but what I have managed to do is introduce affiliates living in France and Korea.
I'm also making money in the same way with similar programs such as JewishFriendFinder and SeniorFriendFinder. I have referred affiliates in those niches.
When we join any money making or affiliate program there is usually an option to be able to refer others into the business. This is sometimes something that many bloggers overlook.
If, however, you look at any of the well known big money makers you'll notice that they are always mentioning various money makers with appropriate links.
It's not necessarily what you do yourself, it's what others can do for you. So put your feet up and earn some money!
Good luck,
Mike.
