How To Make Money | The Definitive Don’ts

Stupid Publicity Stunts

Publicity can do wonders for a new blog. It can bring a slew of new visitors to your site which can easily equate to more profits. But how are you to go about getting such publicity? Well, let me show you how many go about it…

Does this screenshot look just a bit familiar to you? If it does, you’ve probably already witnessed a blogger’s sad attempt to get some publicity. Basically, they start a thread in a forum with some catchy title and post a screenshot similar to this for everyone to admire.

The issue is that they’ve never actually earned anywhere near this amount of money. They just want to stir up some excitement and get everyone to their blog. However, they soon learn that their little stunt has only the opposite effect. Here’s some things you should expect when you pull a stupid publicity stunt such as this:

• People flaming you
• No visitors to your blog
• Loss of trust from the blogging community
• No profit

So for those who have been planning to pull something like this for a while, forget about it. You’ll end up losing more than you gain.
