Does Speed Really Matter?

Does Speed Really Matter?

Good question, but yet so much answers. I would say it depends.

I am a careful person and I would not encourage to do 120Mph in a 50Mph zone while driving because this would be reckless and dangerous, and cause you to lose your life of the lives of others. So no speeding while driving.

For the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, speed does matter in winning the world record.

But for this blog post, I was talking about speed in the sense of which the time that your site takes to load up. Does the page load time really matter? Yes it does.

27 CommentsMake Money Online

Many new bloggers think that blogging is all about the money making and the riches that comes with it. But what about the true passion for blogging? What about the hard work that you have to put in driving traffic? What about the content writing? what about the marketing? What about the research? What about the brain storming? Last but not least, What about the money spending?

Do you think that if you make a blog without having accurate knowledge about your niche and true passion for it will make you rich? Absolutely not!!!

Knowing that you can make a great deal of money by blogging, it can be quite hard to keep your mind off the money while you blog. You have to have a strong mindset so that you can keep focused on blogging and not the money.

Are You Forcing Your Readers Away?

19 CommentsBlogging

What if you wanted some advice or information from a friend and all he does is force and orders you to follow the stuff that he says, would you continue to go to that person for more advice? No, I don’t think you would.

Our blog readers are just the same. They come to our blogs for information to help them and if you boss them around they may never return to your blog for information.

Sometimes it’s best to use words of encouragement when writing post for our readers, they will appreciate it more.

What Comes With Choosing The Right Niche

14 CommentsBlogging

If you are a new webmaster, blogger, or interested in becoming a site owner then you have to be careful when choosing the niche to start your blog or website.

Choosing the wrong niche could be critical in many ways.

Starting a site with the right niche is almost like choosing the colors to put on your house or the colors that you would choose for your curtains. I am pretty sure that it wouldn’t be a wise choice to paint your house red, unless you are really in love with hat color.
