How To Make Money | The Definitive Don’ts

Wasting Your Online Income On Stupid Things

When you make any sort of money, there is always that urge to spend it. There’s nothing wrong with spending money, but when you spend it like an idiot it will come back to bite you in the butt. It is especially dangerous to spend your online income willy-nilly. One foolish decision can take your online success and turn it upside down.

The Pinball Machine Can Wait

You should always spend your money with the future in mind. Knowing how unpredictable the internet is, you have to be very careful as to where your cash goes. Let me give you a very unfortunate but avoidable scenario. You have a site that ranks in a top position for a highly trafficked keyword. You notice that a competitor of yours is slowly climbing in ranking, but fail to do anything about it. You just purchased a pinball a machine and some other “stuff,” and therefore have no money to purchase some paid links.  Your site loses its prior ranking, and your traffic and subsequently your income plummet by 50%. All this because you couldn’t wait to get your paws on that pinball machine.

Your Money Belongs Online

The best way to spend some of your online earnings is to re-invest them into your sites. If you notice that one of your sites is doing extremely well, invest some more money into it. You’d be surprised at the kind of returns you can get from doing this. If all of your sites are doing well, try to distribute your earnings and invest an even amount into each of them. Don’t be worried about losing your money, chances are in your favor that you will actually gain more.

Leaving Money In The Piggy Bank

Don’t exaggerate when it comes to re-investing money into your sites. Try to keep your investments under 40% of your profits. Funneling all of your profits back into your sites can be risky. While some people don’t earn enough online to invest less than 40%, it should be a goal for everyone to strive after.
