Hey {!name_fix} I just wanted to touch base with you. Nothing for Sale here !!!
This might be a bit on the long side so bear with me.
I was thinking a few days back about my personal journey from where I began to where I am at as far as a blogger goes, and I realized that it hasn’t really been all that easy.
Though I suppose anything worth while often isn’t that easy but is  worth it in the end.

So what has helped me make money blogging.

• Quite honestly HARD WORK.

• Developing relationships with other Bloggers.

• Making friends in my niche.

I say this because really…. getting out there and dropping emails and asking questions of other Bloggers, you soon come to realize that thee are alot of other bloggers who are in the same or similar  boats as you are. And there are other bloggers who just want  something in return. Fair enough and each to their own.

I dont fly that way. That isnt how I roll.

Some of added benefits of networking are that other bloggers have skill sets you don’t have but are often times willing to share with you. Or help you with.

SO I would definately say that networking with other bloggers has really helped me.

Who Am I networking and collaborating with right now as a result of being in the mentoring program.

And to be quite frank you are not alone.

For the past while I’ve been trying to form a sort of community with my blog Its very important that you do the same thing.
We (4) call it our mastermind group.
Currently we’re collaborating on 3 and soon to be 4 blogging projects. I’m thinking were going to have to start our own private forum soon.
If you’re interested in that sort of thing drop me an email shanehigginbottom @ gmail.com

Look…there are many other bloggers out there who have the same problems you do. Everything from Traffic to finding their niche in life, to monetizing their blog, making money with adsense. The list goes on….
Sadly too some bloggers have thrown in the towel because they couldnt make it. I hope you’re not considering THAT.

Recently the biggest change to how I approach blogging and the make money online business. Has been from the fulltiltblogging mentoring program. It Actually has been what has given me the opportunity to
succesfully network with other bloggers and web heads who are serious about what they do and not just being self centered and selfish about what they do. And the crazy thing about the fulltiltblogging
mentoring program is that there’s no charge for it.
