Persistence, persistence, persistence seems to be required. I got disillusioned because my Adsense earnings seemed to be growing so slowly so I pulled them completely out. (Cuttings my slim earnings down to zero) Later I realized that, for the volume of traffic I had and the wretchedly poor writing I was doing at the time, I was actually making money hand over fist. My stuff really -was- junk. I still haven't hit the Adsense lotto, but I'm getting a few thousand unique readers each month and the total is growing, so things are looking up. Now, it is better ... and I am putting some thought into the ads I show. Yeah, adsense is back in there -- but so are some 100% on-topic and hand-selected ads.

I've been out of internet circulation for 12 years and had no idea what a 'blog' was until 20 min. ago! I'm not looking to make money blogging, however; someone is investing in me to start selling on ebay. I know, I saw the info-mercials and cringed, but hey! No harm in tryin', n'est ce pas?

An open mind will allow you to venture into fields you have little knowledge of or experience with and pride will allow you to feel good about making a difference. You have definitely made a difference in my financial life. Thank you. I agree with your list completely, but I would add Have an Open Mind and Pride.

In fact, the list sounds a lot like personality traits needed generally by entrepreneurs of any stripe. Well-written, and uncommon because the list isn’t get-rich-quick-on-Web-2.0.

Thanks for sharing your tips. Personally, I agree that Self-motivation is the most important one. If you not motivated enough, you will easily give up and claimed that People cannot make money from internet. I start my blog 1 year ago and only after 10 months of hard works then only I can make money from internet. If I'm not motivated, I think I would give up in my 4th month of blogging and don't make any money from internet. (special thanks to those people in forum who give encouragememt to me) Really a great list there. Thanks for sharing your tips. Personally, I agree that Self-motivation is the most important one.
