The Real Honest-to-God
Way to Become a Millionaire
with Article Marketing.
Every week, there is one simple trick I do that helps me push
past writer's block, procrastination, fatigue and anything else
that would normally stop me from writing and making money.
In fact, what I am about to reveal to you is a secret so powerful,
it could change your life. Not only will it increase your
productivity almost automatically, but it will be the closest you
can get to “fail proof” when it comes to getting rich.
Most people who want to get rich make two stupid mistakes.
First, they aren't patient about it. They create short term plans,
and when they don't immediately get a huge return, they move
on to something else
.
Secondly, they work for their money, instead of making their
money work for them. Nothing is better than getting rich
without having to actually physically work to earn the money.
Here's how you do it
.
First, make a commitment to work 2-3 more hours every week.
These 2-3 hours will be the easiest hours you'll ever work, once
you understand how powerful they are. You can do them all at
once, or you can break them down into four 30 minute sessions
or whatever. Just make the commitment.
If you work the article writing formula correctly, this will mean
you should be able to make at least an extra $40 a week. Even if
you make an extra $10 a week, it should be enough to make you
rich.
I first got turned onto this idea while listening to an audio
program called “The Richest Man in Babylon.” Here is the
philosophy behind it – A part of what you earn is yours to keep.
See, in reality you are paying everyone else. You pay for what
you eat, you pay for shelter and clothing, bills and everything
else. You get to keep little of what you earn. In order to become
rich, you have to conscientiously keep a bit of your wealth each
week.
Don't just pay everyone else – pay yourself, too
.
If you paid yourself $40 a week for ten years, how much would
that be? $20,800 right? Not quite. Each dollar you save can be
made to work for you. And each dollar your savings produce
will then also work for you. Let's discuss the magic of
compound interest.
Let's say you took your $40 a week and invested it into
something that gave you a 15% return. This is not too
incredible. The stock market has averaged a 12% return in the
last 60 years. Anyway, if you invested $40 a week for the next
20 years at a 15% return, guess how much that is?
You could pay for a college education to practically anywhere
for that! All because you only worked 2 more hours each week.
Wait another 10 years, and you have $1,212,871.96. For most
people, that's enough to retire with, and live on the interest. All
because two to three hours a week you committed yourself to
writing a few more articles, and took the money earned from
those articles and got a slightly better than average return on it.
Yes, this is get rich slow instead of quick. But, in my opinion,
this is the most important chapter in this book.
I have a picture I put above my office desk. It's a painting of
bamboo trees. Most species of bamboo barely grow in the first
four years. In fact, to the naked eye, some of them do not appear
to grow at all. Then in the fifth year, the bamboo shoots up like
crazy, and can grow 90 feet in one year. This is a visual
reminder to me of the power of working an extra 2-3 hours a
week, and investing my earnings so my money will grow like
the bamboo tree.
