Don’t Smoke Crack

If you were fortunate enough to catch Andrew Warner’s interview of Neil Patel on Mixergy.com yesterday afternoon, you will know what I am talking about.  Oh, you missed it?  Here is the part of the conversation I am referring to:

Andrew:  “What do you say to people who say you can’t make money online?”

Neil: “I say they’re smoking crack.”

(thanks to @kid_disco who instantly picked up that tidbit and tweeted about it.)

Wow, if you ever needed a pick me up, or other motivational phrase, that would be it.  Remember that when you are getting down about your online money making prospects.  Mixergy.com has interviews from a lot of knowledgable people in the industry, so if you want to see what these folks have to say, head on over.

I know a lot of you are still waiting for my monthly tracking report for March (ouch, it is already the 18th?).  Here are preliminary results:

FromPinkSlip.com - $0 income, $66.90 in expenses (the fees for CafePress for 13 months)

BlogmasterGeneral.com - $0 income, $0 expenses

Mitchendise.com - $0 income, $0 expenses

ClickIntoAction.com - $0 income, $0 expenses

JohnnyOptimist.com - $0 income, $0 expenses

As you can see, not much to report.  I had advertising up for almost the entire month of March.  Time wise, I was quite busy with other projects so preliminary estimate is 10 hours per blog for the month of March, but I will go through and add it all up and add it to my tracking page here soon.  Even though I didn’t make any money, I am still not a crack smoker, as I still believe you can make money online.

So remember: Don’t Smoke Crack, you CAN make money online.

If you haven’t been over to Neil’s site Quick Sprout, I also recommend checking it out.
