I was reading some blogs a while ago and found a great way to approach doing something productive when it comes to making money online. Usually, when I sit at my computer, I'll surf the net for a bit, then log on to whatever game I'm playing at the moment... but if I want to make something of myself on the net, there has to be some motivation to get me going. I'm sure most of you feel the same.
Check this article out from the "Retire young and wealthy" blog:
Think of adsense and affiliates as a computer game
It makes perfect sense. Think of a video game. As you play, your skill grows, and in the case of the ever popular mmorpg, your stats and possessions grow. This is truly a parallel to real life; for instance, replace those numerous hours of playing with working on something you enjoy, and instead of getting virtual skill and items, you'll get real life knowledge and hard earned cash! The best part is that you will get better at what you do and will be making money from it, therefore your earnings will continue to grow.
So next time you're getting ready to sit down for a 2+ hour play-a-thon, try doing something productive that interests you instead... make a flash game, write stories, read up on your favorite topics, make a website, contact a business partner, brainstorm ideas... the possibilities are endless, all you need to do is really want it! What is it? That's for you to decide.
