How an Interview with Darren Rowse of Problogger Changed Everything
Last night I was searching Google for information on Getting ‘Fast Traffic’ to a Blog for CircleOneConnect.com. While searching I had a revelation while reading an interview over at Problogger with Darren Rowse. Honestly, it was not what I was searching for, but at the same it was everything I needed to hear.
See, for years I’ve been developing sites and jumping from one strategy to the next looking for the magic bullet that sends thousands of fresh connections my way. I’ve tried everything.
None of it works.
But this isn’t neccessarily about getting traffic or SEO or even websites at all. This is deeper than that… this is about the spirit of entrepreneurship. This is about real-world ambition and doing what it takes to succeed in the long run.
“Forget the word ‘fast’.
Really – forget it.
You can probably use some techniques to get fast traffic but a more profitable strategy over the long haul is to build a blog that people become loyal to and proud to belong to over the long haul. Do this and they’ll pass on word of your blog to others for you and in the long haul you’ll see bigger growth.” – Darren Rowse
Makes sense, right? Of course it does. This principle should be the foundation of any business model – online or offline. I need everyone to forget the word fast in terms of building anything of true value. Make it a habit of taking in the Big Picture. Look at your long-term goals and create realistic milestones for yourself.
There is no fast way. Behind every overnight success there is years of aspiration and building going on. For the entrepreneur you must be willing to work… work hard and give it everything it takes to reach wealth; not riches.
