How I Went From $15 to a Million in 3 Years of Blogging

From the desk of Elijah “The Realist”
Subj: How to REALLY make a million dollars online
—

All I ever wanted was a beautiful and VERY SIMPLE adventure, just like Rambo.

I had literally absolutely NO IDEA… that my specific Online Money Making “venture”… in order to help accommodate my “adventure” would also… make me a REALLY cool whole million dollar bucks.

Let me start at the VERY beginning though…

I started a blog, so that I could have a very definitive way to… travel the whole ENTIRE world, live 100% absolutely totally FREE… and have some wonderful, very exciting “adventures” just like my favorite “anti-hero” villain Rambo.

I didn’t know EXACTLY how it would “work” and I didn’t know how I’d make money online from a blog.

All I knew, was that if I put in as absolutely much TIME as it took, my wish to LIVE FREE would be 100% automatically granted.

That was literally my only complete and total business plan.

You’ll be happy to know that my business plan was 100% absolutely foolproof and it definitely came true.

In that time, I have made TONS of money, I traveled the world for MANY endless YEARS, and literally RIGHT NOW…

I live right out on the beach in beautiful Southern California while also driving a Spanking BRAND NEW, very nice, BMW like some VERY stuck-up… “rich jerk” punk. 

I was able to do it all simply from this little tiny thing called blogging, which is a very misunderstood weapon of business.

I think it was Drake who said “We started from the bottom, now we’re here.”

How did Drake do it? He did it via the power of WORDS, just like *I* did. 

Don’t you know what they say? 

They say the pen is much more mightier than the sword.

The pen is MUCH MORE mightier than the sword… because *people* actually KNOW to watch out for swords.

Words, however, catch people off-guard and hook them before they ever even KNOW what actually has happened. 

Because words will ALWAYS catch people off-guard, MANY people simply do NOT understand EXACTLY how powerful, and more importantly, profitable, that a BLOG can REALLY actually be.

Joke’s on them, but I’m NOT here to laugh about it.

I’m here to tell you TWO very important powerful things:

1. Blogs can be very powerful… because words… are absolutely GREAT… weapons of business.
2. Blogs can be very extremely profitable because words are absolute damn good… weapons of business.

Keep this quiet, but I want to tell you a 3rd thing… Blogs keep you “under the radar”. 

Blogs are extremely powerful and their absolute power is hidden in damn near PLAIN SIGHT because words are absolute $ilent killer$.

Almost NO ONE understands how a blog REALLY actually… MAKES MONEY ONLINE…

Therefore MANY people… don’t even believe that a blog… can actually… REALLY make money online, which I find extremely totally comical. 

There is a gold rush happening RIGHT NOW literally in front of your eyes… and MANY people… simply refuse to… actually **BELIEVE**… that there actually IS any gold.

Instead of buying a shovel and getting to digging, they do flat out absolutely NOTHING.

Joke’s on them, but that’s some GOOD, very wonderful news for YOU.

Less people digging = M O R E  G O L D  F O R  Y O U

I once said “common sense and a pair of eyes would lead one to believe that digital media is the future of media,” but I was flat out absolutely WRONG.

Blogs are NOT the future of media.

Blogs are the actual RIGHT NOW of Media.

Today, RIGHT NOW, the digital internet BUSINESS… is LIFE.

If YOU currently DON’T recognize it, then YOU are STILL currently… living in the PAST.

Time for YOU to RIGHT NOW go play some catch-up…

13 VERY POWERFUL REAL REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START A BLOG AS A BUSINESS

Walk outside… RIGHT NOW… take your eyes away from your smartphone and simply just look around.

What do YOU see?

Absolutely literally EVERYONE is currently on their smart phone, RIGHT NOW, looking at SOMETHING on the internet.

Everybody’s eyes are currently glued to their damn phone screen.  

Here’s what you actually currently DON’T see…

Someone else literally created what ALL of those damn people are currently RIGHT NOW looking at. 

Those eyes glued to the screen = MONEY for whoever actually CREATED what they are currently looking at.

Whoever created what they are currently RIGHT NOW looking at… is getting paid.

Why don’t YOU become the creator?

Here are 13 very powerful reasons… why YOU… should RIGHT NOW… consider starting a blog as an actual BUSINESS…

1) You CAN actually MAKE MONEY ONLINE from a blog

Remember William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper tycoon “famous” for yellow page journalism?

He got rich and “famous” from publishing newspapers that people read literally daily.

Remember Mark Zuckerberg?

He got absolutely rich and both “famous” from building a website that people visit literally daily.

What happens when you put them BOTH together? 

Words + Website (and just a little tiny business savvy) = Profit

It’s actually totally downright laughable… that people don’t THINK that there is ANY actual REAL money in blogging.

Blogging as an actual REAL in-depth BUSINESS… is just simply… content + sales, just like William Randolph Hearst’s newspapers or Zuckerberg’s Facebook.

Draw people in with words and then convert sales, it’s as simple as that. (I didn’t say it was EASY to do, I said that the method is simple and literally time-tested.)

What about just getting a job and working towards a rich retirement? 

In your actual gut, you already KNOW that “jobs” are a complete and utter waste of time… to make some BIG life-changing money… LONG TERM. 

We have literally all been led to *believe* that “jobs” are the absolute #1 way to MAKE MONEY, but look at the *people* who led us down that path.

Where are they RIGHT NOW today?

Are they rich and free or… are they currently in debt and unhappy?

15 years ago, people literally HAD to get jobs, there wasn’t REALLY much of an actual choice.

Today, internet is literally LIFE… and you have all of the god damn choice in the whole ENTIRE world. 

You are on the internet RIGHT NOW reading this god damn article.

The richest people in the world today got rich because of the god damn internet, and for a very god damn GOOD reason…

Job security simply DOESN’T exist. 

Smart “employers” will ALWAYS try to automate your job.

Smart, very successful “entrepreneurs” like BUSINESS to be 100% absolutely automated… because it is MUCH MORE easier to automate… than it is to actually HAVE TO pay… a regular human… breathing LIVE person.

Speaking of god damn automation…

2) Your blog income is literally… automated income

I hear people use this phrase all of the time: Passive income.

Sorry Charlie, but passive income is a dream of the absolute, total, and downright STUPID… and the lazy.

Eliminate these P.O.S. words from your vocabulary (passive income) and replace them with THESE WORDS: Active and automated income. 

There is absolutely NOTHING passive about BUSINESS.

Business is entirely ACTIVE and if YOU personally are NOT active, then I can 100% guarantee, that it will… pass you by.

However, when you do truly GREAT magnificent work… specifically on a blog… then you will make money online FOREVER.

100%… Guaranteed

You only have to do the work just ONCE, maintain the work, and you can literally have an absolute LIFETIME… of truly absolute GREAT income and wealth.

There isn’t actually ANYTHING that is passive about it.

It takes extremely ACTIVE WORK, but actively WORKING on SOMETHING… that YOU truly actually enjoy… is REALLY the damn FUN PART.

Building the actual BUSINESS… is literally the whole damn FUN PART… and seeing the MONEY… damn near instantly COME IN… from all of your god damn HARD WORK… is the VERY MUCH actually god damn rewarding part. 

When you work at stupid old outrageous “J.O.B” (Just Over Broke)… you make only a specific predetermined… amount of MONEY… no matter how HARD that YOU… bust your ass … or how WELL that YOU… can actually do your god damn job.

The EXACT opposite is true… when you run a god damn GREAT blog or an internet based business.

Your blog income is directly tied to how hard and how well you do the work.

If you do REALLY valuable life-changing GREAT work, then you’ll make some god damn GREAT money. 

There isn’t a limit when it comes to making internet money. YOU decide how much you want, or need, to earn and then you do the work to make it happen.

Make the decision to EARN MORE and you CAN, as long as you do the work. Produce GREAT work to get paid GREAT money.

Make something great = get paid. Do NOT ever forget this rule!

3) Your blog is literally the cheapest business that YOU could ever start

To start blogging as a career only takes about $15.

I started Frauds & Liars with a $10 domain name and a couple bucks per month in web hosting fees.

That tiny amount of money turned into a million dollars in revenue. 

From $15 dollars to a million dollars. 

What other business can offer that kind of return?!

We are talking BUSINESS of course, NOT hobby, but business!

A blog can be a REAL business IF… you treat it just like a REAL business.

All it costs to start your blog is a few dollars per month in hosting and a $10 domain name. 

4) Your little blog has access to more customers than MOST big stores do

You could get 10,000 people to show up to your blog every single day.

Imagine trying to open a real store and getting 10,000 people to show up every single day.

Good luck.

Blogs put MORE eyes on YOU than any other possible “business” that YOU could possibly start.

An online business is literally 10X more efficient than a physical store could ever be. Maybe 100X more efficient.

Online, there is NO END to the amount of customers you can REACH.

The Sky is truly the limit with traffic.

Not to mention, physical stores have a HUGE overhead.

A blog has an extremely LOW overhead, especially when the blog is NEW. 

5) Your blog has access to worldwide customers

You can help a LOT of people with your blog, and they are NOT limited to living near you.

Anybody from Texas to Tanzania can find you.

There is just NO LIMIT to the amount of people, or the location in which they are in, who can find you. 

48% of my audience comes from the United States.

The rest come from places like Canada, UK, Australia, India, Germany, Netherlands, Philippines, South Africa and even Nigeria.

What kind of physical store could access that MANY customers from SO MANY different worldwide locations?

The world is online and so is the MONEY.

Where people go, MONEY will ALWAYS follow.

6) With a blog business, YOU control how your time is spent

Running a blog will give you the TIME to do the things that MATTER and let you NOT do the things that don’t matter.

Being STUCK in traffic everyday, taking ORDERS from the boss, WAITING on your paycheck (with taxes conveniently removed for you), asking for PERMISSION to go on a Holiday is NO WAY to go through life. 

When you blog as a BUSINESS, you can spend MORE time with family, spend LESS time with family, or spend MORE time traveling.

You can spend MORE TIME doing ANYTHING you damn right please. 

I’ve spent time, and made MONEY, from MANY different countries all across the WORLD.

All I ever need is a laptop and an internet connection and I’m GOOD to go (often I actually don’t even need anything, as I make money whether I’m online or NOT).

Without a 9-5 noose around your neck you’re FREE to come and go and do as YOU please.

I can spend a week at a beach in Cambodia, riding jet ski’s and getting tan, or I can spend a week in Santa Barbara.

Whatever I feel like doing, I just simply DO IT.

Wherever I feel like going, I simply go.

And it’s really as simple as that.

My lifestyle would be completely and utterly impossible if I had a “Boss” and an office to report to.

But I DON’T, because I’m in the blog business aka the Business of FREEDOM. 

7) When you blog, you can work from anywhere

From Texas to Tanzania and everywhere in between, all you need to work is a WIFI connection. (But you still need to treat it like a business and NOT like a hobby). 

Again, NO MORE getting up at the crack of dawn just to go sit in traffic and wait and wait and WAIT. 

When you run an internet based business you can work from home, the local coffee shop, the library, or abroad.

ANYWHERE you have an internet connection is where you can work from.

Say hello to sunny skies and goodbye to drab and lifeless grey offices.

8) Two words: SELF-OWNERSHIP

Most people aren’t happy with their job/work life because most people have to censor themselves or else they risk getting FIRED.

As a blog artist, you are FREE to live as YOURSELF, as you wish to be.

When you blog as a BUSINESS, you can live as yourself, not as a politically correct shell of your REAL self.

With a blog you can CONTROL your OWN Reputation AND you can become THE authority/expert.

You can present YOUR reputation on your blog too through very HIGH STANDARDS and how YOU conduct yourself rather than having YOUR reputation decided by lame, POOR, and downright pathetic workmates.

9) Help OTHERS while you help YOURSELF

Every day I get mail from all across the world that says the EXACT same thing: Your blog has CHANGED my life.

Guess what, blogs changed MY LIFE as well.

Books are great, but Blogs are the absolute #1 BEST.

Blogs offer up-to-date information, books are most of the time, simply out-dated.

The blog is my #1 favorite thing to read, EVER.

The blog is the absolute BEST you can ever get at BOTH classic, timeless and most importantly reliable content mixed with up-to-the-minute insights, “unconventional” advice, which is the ONLY kind of information or advice that actually WORKS.

The blog is the BEST way to read and create words ever invented.

I owe my life to blogging.

Blogging is the #1 absolute BEST art platform ever invented in my very humble opinion.

I don’t give a DAMN about books, I hustle up the books just to make sure I have a lifetime income.

My ONE, true, and only love is the blog.

How gratifying is it to know that that which helps ME also helps OTHERS as well?

Try to answer that for yourself.

10) ANYONE can start a blog, from teenager to senior citizen

The beauty of running an internet based business is that ANYONE with a computer and internet connection can do it.

From teenager to senior citizen, white or black, disabled or able-bodied, the internet has NO bias.

All are welcome and ALL can MAKE MONEY if they are willing to put in the effort and TAKE ACTION and, most importantly, do it consistently.

Not only ANYONE can, but EVERYONE should.

Most people have something that someone else will listen to (as MOST people’s interests/desires etc. aren’t that unique).

You just need to build the skills experience first.

I get this question ALL THE TIME:

How can I make money tomorrow?

Here’s the answer:

You CAN’T make money tomorrow.

Blogging is like any OTHER business.

You have to put in the time and LEARN before you can EARN.

What you can do is put in the time, the effort and the WORK to get paid BIG BUCKS a year from now. 

11) A blog can be used as a journal to hold yourself accountable and to refine your message

It should go without saying, but it WON’T – you NEED something to say.

As a blog artist you should know WHO you are, you should know WHAT you want to say, and you should have a very clear MESSAGE or at least… have a personality. 

Blogging will help you develop and refine your message.

I cannot tell you what your message is, that is 100% and completely up to YOU.

If you DON’T have a message, you will NOT make ANY money by being yourself.

Thankfully, the simple act of WRITING a blog post every day can help you to develop your message and make it CLEAR to you.

You are on the internet RIGHT NOW reading this article.

Walk outside and look at what each person is doing.

They are ALL glued to their smart phones.

They are ALL addicted to someone’s content.

Why can’t it be YOUR content that people are reading/watching/listening to? 

You could be working RIGHT NOW instead of reading, but because you are reading instead of working ***I am*** making money RIGHT NOW and YOU currently aren’t.

That can certainly change though…

12) Blogging is an art, art is fulfillment of the soul

Running a blog is infinitely MORE fulfilling than being a corporate cog and TAKING ORDERS from OTHERS. 

Why?

Because a blog is a downright expression of your SOUL, and expression is FREEDOM.

13) You can OWN your own BLOG in exactly LESS THAN 24 hours from now. 

Starting a blog is beyond easy, and extremely basic… BUT!!!...

Only IF you actually KNOW how to do it…

Which is why I created the Blog Money Blueprint System to TEACH and SHOW YOU absolutely EVERYTHING I know to Starting and Growing a Hugely Profitable and High Traffic Blog… Starting from SCRATCH.

As you can see, starting a blog just simply MAKES SENSE. 

We have all wanted to “leave the rat race” and get a bigger piece of the pie while NOT wasting our lives away behind some dumb stupid cubicle.

The ONE way that EVERYONE in the world can make their own money and set their own schedule is by starting a blog. 

Remember, there is no better time than RIGHT NOW.

The first step is simply to TAKE ACTION.

Blogs are powerful, blogs are profitable, blogs are hidden in plain sight, and blogs are still in the gold-rush stage.

Get in on the gold rush NOW because people still don’t understand EXACTLY how powerful that blogs can actually be.

But YOU understand how powerful blogs can be, YOU understand how EASY it is to follow all the steps laid out in the Blog Money Blueprint System…

The question is, will YOU finally start digging for gold?

Or will sit idly by while OTHERS get rich?

I always wanted to live FREE like Rambo, so starting a blog was an easy, simple choice for me.

For you? 

Well, like the Beach Boys always said…

God only knows.

Until next time.
