Popular Wealth

June 26th, 2008. Living the dot com lifestyle. Sit on a beach somewhere, write the occasional article, watch the money roll in from advertising and affiliates. Sounds impossible doesn’t it? It’s not, actually, someone else is doing it right now. Lots of someone elses actually, and they are buying the nice things that come with success. An example, have you seen Shoemoneys new pool yet?

Be Interesting! In looking at how other people are making money online and living the dot com lifestyle you will rarely find perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT tip you will need to master in order to succeed. Whats that? I’ll spell it out slowly… You – need – something – interesting – to – share !!!

Seriously, I bet if you asked Jeremy he’d tell you that he’s seen hundreds, if not thousands, of sites that mimic his by repeating his content in their own unique “see: copied with a few words changed” way and they wonder why they aren’t as popular… or as rich… or as visible on Google Earth.

If you’re young, a student on summer vacation perhaps, LISTEN UP!

GET A JOB! REALLY! Check out Virgin Islands Jobs for example and get a job in an interesting part of the world that doesn’t require you to look up out of your parents basement window to see the outside world. I’m not insulting you, I’m telling you to find interesting temporary work in an interesting place and BRING YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA and LAPTOP! Enjoy the experience.

People like to live vicariously, if you hear a cool story from the cute waitress at the coffee shop down the street from where you’re staying, and you happen to be in the virgin islands at the time, TAKE HER PICTURE and pictures of the coffee shop, the view behind the coffee shop, definitely some water pictures and BE INTERESTING and people WILL enjoy reading what you write. Even if it has no subject whatsoever, like this post.

To be VERY clear.

I DON’T want to read the three times regurgitated “I hate SEO” crap you’re in the middle of writing, I do my own SEO like most other bloggers.

I DO want to see the cute waitress you heard something interesting from.

I DO want to know whats its like in the virgin islands, with pictures.

I DO want to know what other people are doing UNLESS they’re too much like me already. I know me, I know my life, the city around me. BRING ME INTERESTING and I love you long time. Go somewhere cool + bring a camera!
