The More You Learn And Apply The More You Can Earn
I remember being at a seminar a number of years ago in London and the speaker told the audience, the more you learn the more you earn.
I believe in this for sure but not 100% as said in this statement, why is this? Well experience has showed me many people who spend most of their life learning and hardly any time applying any of the stuff that the learn. Believe me I know a few of them even some people I am close to.
I remember while at this seminar one strategy I learned and applied before going to the seminar got me forty sales over the weekend using an automated Twitter strategy which I set up. I also remember that weekend while I was learning feeling guilty as I had no travel wifi at that time. And I knew I could not do any work or strategies to increase my business online during those 4 days that I was away..
And it was driving me crazy, especially with all the new info and ideas I was getting at the seminar.
I really believe if you are going to be a useful online marketer you need to be continually learning, but not at the cost of stopping stuff in your business being applied you gotta strike a happy balance between implementation and learning.
Today I was watching a training by one of my marketing mentors and although watching the beginners stuff that I have seen a million times made me cringe. I did learn some great new ideas and strategies eventually, so it was time well worth spending to increase my knowledge.
Just remember if you spend all your time learning and none of your time implementing earning strategies, you will find it hard to continue on your path, unless of course you have a rich relative,spouse, a windfall or disposable passive income to pay for you to live while doing it.
Not everyone though is that fortunate, what are the three moneymaking strategies that you have done today apart from learning. If your answer is none then you will keep yourself broke.
If you aren’t a top Guru on building websites and making money on WordPress you may want to join in on this Live free WordPress Training.
But remember after watching it start to implement some of the stuff or feel free to ask me and I can help you, and don’t run from training to training like many other broke people do without taking some action.

Hello and thanks for sharing this is and awesome post. Learning is great because knowledge is power, but with learning, you must put into practice what you learn by using strategies that is the only way the learning process is going to pay off
Your post is very helpful and encouraging and will be of good help to your readers.
Thank you Norman for your kind comments 🙂 There are many people drowning in knowledge but without some action to monetise it these same people can struggle throughout their lives. When a few simple tweaks could change everything around for them..
I have to admit I am one of those learners that doesn’t earn. I am so busy putting content on my sites that I don’t seem to have time for anything else.
The daily chores take up much time as does the gardening, the cooking and the dogs. Hubbie is just the same, in fact, he finds anything to do with money a little unsavoury and leaves it to me.
We are both avid learners and we are quite experienced in scientific subjects but how to change that into an income is a challenge. My dislike of facebook, twitter etc., doesn’t help although I always put all my articles onto facebook and google+. I don’t use twitter. I know I have to be more pro-active but I just don’t seem to have enough hours in the day and anyway, I’m supposed to be retired!!
All you need to do Ches is setup a Twitter account, then join klout which is free. Using klout you can schedule your posts on Facebook and Twitter at the same time so you do not even have to login to Twitter. 🙂
Spend 1 hour 1 day every week scheduling all your blog posts for the week on klout and your done . You can also monetise other peoples content
Blogging is great but sharing and monetising the posts are both moneymaking activities, if you do not do them then it will be much harder to make any money..
Thank you for your comments Ches enjoy your weekend 🙂
I like that you advocate not only learning but applying the principles learned in order to gain success. Your site is easy to navigate. I think that blogging is constantly changing, and finding that delicate balance is key. What is the 100 day blogging challenge? I’ll have to check out the WordPress training you’ve offered.
Hi Kendra, the 100 day blogging challenge is basically spending 10 to 15 mins a day creating content on your blog. That way after the 100 days Google has another 100 Posts and lots more keywords to find and rank your website.
Would love to have you join too 🙂
Have a nice weekend Kendra.
