Are You An Overnight Make Money Online Superstar?

Free Web Designs

You might be wondering what an overnight make money online superstar is, so let me tell you. An overnight make money online superstar is an individual who reads established make money online blogs and takes the advice and tips being provided to them and rewords the information on their blog. In other words, an overnight make money online superstar is nothing more than loser. Does this sound like you? It’s kind of lame to lie to yourself, so be honest with yourself at least. Are you an overnight make money online superstar?

Lately for some reason, my blog has been a magnet for attracting these people. I have made it clear in the past that I absolutely can not stand people who choose to create make money online blogs without having the experience or skill to provide unique and helpful advice for people. What happens is that these people re-wash the material they read on other blogs and plaster it all over their own blogs while making it appear as if the ideas where their own.

There are times when I am faced with personal frustrations and over time I am learning how to deal with the challenges of running this blog. Some of the challenges I face are learning how to deal with people who directly copy me, people who befriend me for the purpose of gaining trade secrets, or people who use their blog to say things about me that aren’t true. When these situations occur, it really makes me lose motivation towards continuing to help others.

The content that I publish on my blog doesn’t help me pay the bills; however, make no mistake, my content helps other people pay their bills. The content I write on this blog is very helpful. So when I am faced with a situation where I get backstabbed, I am sure that you can totally see how I lose the motivation towards continue to extract my advice from my brain onto digital paper. With that said, I am creatively working on developing coping skills to deal with this; one of which is in writing this post which allows the “overnight making money online superstars” to at least take a moment to sit back and consider how much of a loser they are.

I would like to leave this article on a high note. I want people to know, that I am more than willing to help. It is very rewarding for me personally to know that my writing, my ideas, and my advice impact people in a positive way. With that said, all I ask, is that the people who stumble onto this blog, please try to see the big picture on the different ways it is possible to make money online. Starting a “make money online” blog is totally the last thing that you would want to do, if you are just starting out and have absolutely ZERO experience. In many ways — and as controversial as this article may be — its purpose is to be a wake up call and a reality check for the thousands of people who want to earn money with a blog.

I say give credit where credit is do. Give links back whether it is from your blog or from a social medium. Tell your friends, “Go Check out Garry, he’s got some great tips for helping you make an income on-line”

Support the MMOers you like by purchasing their products. People, there is plenty to go around, no stealing is necessary.

Hey Gary,
This is my second visit to your blog. Wow! Somebody really pissed in your corn flakes this morning.

I doubt if there will ever be an end to the low life leaches that suck the intelligence and ideas from hardworking web entrepreneurs then label them as their own.
Copy and paste is way too easy. I do believe though that most charlatans are figured out sooner rather than later and called out as such. Also if your too lazy to come up with your own original content your probably too lazy to keep posting and doing the work required to be successful.

Anyway like I said this is my second visit, and my first comment. I just want to say thanks for the advice you offer. I guess you could call me a “hopeful make money online superstar”. I among many others I’m sure, really appreciate the help you offer.

Thanks again,
TEGS

Did I tell you that you are my number reader yet. ;)

You da’ MAN!!!!

4 Garry Conn { 09.29.08 at 11:57 pm }

Hi Tegs,

LOL… I usually say, “Pissed in your Wheaties.”

But yeah, there are some people that indeed piss all in my cereal. I too doubt that there will be an end to low life leaches. In light of that, I am slowly getting over this. Man, I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment. You are very welcome for the advice, I am glad that you like my content.

There is nothing wrong with being a “hopeful make money online superstar” and there is nothing wrong with having a blog that talks about making money online. The key to success is not duplicating the thoughts and ideas created by other people and to take the concept of the topic and develop and share your own thoughts and ideas.

Good luck with everything and feel free to contact me anytime.

I’ve started a make money online type of blog I guess. But I’m not giving out tips, because like you say I’m not really making huge amounts of money online. What I am doing is sharing my experiences, what went wrong and what went right. I’m certainly not regurgitating other blogs because I’m learning most of what they say is bullcrap which doesn’t work!!!

You have a pretty cool blog Alan. I enjoyed reading your about me page.

http://www.clogmoney.com/about/

You have some really good posts too.

** for those reading this comment, here is Alan’s first post on his blog:

http://www.clogmoney.com/the-clog/

Since then he has around 20 articles or so posted, so playing catch up won’t be too hard. This is his third birth on his blog and I wasn’t able to witness the prior trials and errors, but I like what he is doing now for sure.

If anyone thinks this post or comments is showing Garry mad, you have not seen mad, lol. Great post Garry, well said.

Well, this is why I continue to read your blog. You provide unique content pertinent to the make money online niche without doing the same thing as everyone else. On TheLinuxBlog I find it hard to write about unique topics since there is only so much to be written about. Does the web really need another tutorial on why you should switch to Linux? Either way your blog is one of the few MMO’s that I read on a daily basis.

Keep up the good work.

If you would tell us about stuff like that TwitterCounter button up there, we would not have to come in and steal stuff!!

oops, I mean, not that I would steal stuff, but, you know, If I was going to steal something, it would probably be that button, but….damn….sshhh….too many voices……

Garry, where did you steal this post?

Just joking, love your stuff, just thought I take a page from your book. Kinda like stealing, but not.

People that do this shit are usually found out and castrated by the public, no? I have no worries, the shit I’m spewing all over the net is totally my own, and it smells great! At least, it smells like roses to me. :)

Love watching your blog change little by little! Kinda like sitting on a porch watching the grass grow in Georgia.

Oh I am sure people can dig around my blog to find some articles that showcase my “not so proud moments” LOL

14 Garry Conn { 09.30.08 at 4:23 pm }

Hi Owen,

With Linux, it can easily be compared to the MMO niche, right? With that said there are things that you can do that help others with Linux. Such as providing your expert advice and reviews on all the various Linux distros out there. Last I checked, there were quite a bit handful of choices and when I wanted to install Linux on my computer, I wasn’t sure which distro to choose.

The opportunity for a Linux blog is for the author to take the blog and put Linux into simple terms that people like myself can understand. I have suggested this to you for almost a year. Right now, your blog is extremely technical, which caters to people who already know what you know… you need to make your blog so that it caters to people like me. If you did that, you’d get thousands of people visited and following you like a god.

15 Garry Conn { 09.30.08 at 4:25 pm }

LOL… I did. I twitterd about it, even submitted that page into StumbleUpon and both of these Feeds go directly into my FriendFeed… I guess you just aren’t a subscriber are you??? LOL!!

Sheesh….

:)

16 Garry Conn { 09.30.08 at 4:29 pm }

Heck if you don’t visit my blog once a week at a minimum, you miss out on seeing three new themes used. ;)

I am glad that I am not into cosmetic surgery… If that was the case, then I’d have Michael Jackson beat.

17 David Cooley { 09.30.08 at 5:03 pm }

Subscriber, whats that, do you mean you will throw your blog on my driveway every morning, COOL!

That’s a long way to peddle your bicycle.

Just don’t take out any of the windows!

OMG… so like Twitter doesn’t do that for you yet? The way you go blabbing about how Twitter is getting you the HOOK UP in traffic, I thought that this was a standard service now. :)

19 David Cooley { 09.30.08 at 5:12 pm }

Now ya dunnit, ya don’t dis the Twit !!

I can find out more on Twitter in a minute than most can on the net in a day!!

Yeah… so like Twitter to me is like the MMO and WordPress Soap Opera Show… ;)

Ok… I like Twitter, anyone want to follow the MMO WP soap opera, follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/garryconn

besides, David at the moment has more followers than me and that needs to change. Whahahahah….

21 Jarret { 09.30.08 at 6:27 pm }

Hell yeah, I’ve always wanted to try out Linux on my computer just to see what it was like but I could never find a good explanation of all the distros.

I think Garry’s advice is a great idea and it would really expand you incoming traffic.

22 Owen { 09.30.08 at 6:46 pm }

Yea, I guess the MMO niche could be compared… but do I want thousands more visitors asking me questions and stealing my content like you have?

I already have some clown mirroring my site :(

I haven’t forgotten what you said and am trying to move over to that way, its just finding the time to do everything :)

That and I’m a big procrastinator.

What number reader ;)

Yep, i agree with you though, which is why I am now stepping into the blog niche, as I do make very good money online. Having said that, there are so many ways to make money online nd everyone should have a voice, but… Not to give advise if they havent done it themselves first

25 Gord { 10.01.08 at 1:30 pm }

Garry,

I just wrote a piece in one of my Blogs about “being original” and “do your own thing”. I guess people don’t get it. My Blogs are “passive” about money-making rather than coming right out and say…”c’mon hurry up and join this”. That line might bring on a chuckle but I have seen this more than once. I’m telling it like it is and if people want to have a look and if they are happy with their decision…well, that makes my day too!

Great article as usual!

Gord

26 Garry Conn { 10.01.08 at 10:36 pm }

That is excellent news. Well, not that your feed was broke, but that we were able to help you get it fixed.

27 Garry Conn { 10.01.08 at 10:37 pm }

I remember stumbling onto your blog a few months ago for the first time and I was like, man… this guy has a pretty cool blog, which is true. I like how you write. Every blogger has a certain, “writing style” and I think that goes a long way too.

28 Germz { 10.12.08 at 1:30 pm }

Garry i can think of a couple, the worst part is that after they make the blog they start to make money off it lol.

Check out Germz’s last blog post..Sarah Palin, the moron.

29 Garry Conn { 10.12.08 at 1:34 pm }

You don’t really know they do. Who is to say that is true? I think 99 people out of 100 overnight make money online superstars are fakes and don’t make a dime and lose money every day by lying about how much money they don’t make.
