Why You Royally Screw Up Online and How to Fix Your Failure

August 27, 2013 By Ryan Biddulph

Inquiring Online Entrepreneur: “Ryan, how in the heck are you traveling the world for 2 and a half years and running? What do you do? How do you make money online?”

Me: “I help  people.”

I mean, I have lived in: Bali, Phuket, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Peru and Costa Rica, and have visited Japan, Myanmar and El Salvador.

The cool deal? I lived in Thailand for a year between Chiang Mai and Phuket. I lived in Bali for 4 months.

I know my way around the Southern Tip of Phuket as well as my home town of NJ…lol!

Seriously, this from a guy who never stepped foot on a plane until I took my first flight 2 and a half years ago from NYC to Bali. Yep 23 hours total 😉

But even though I change time zones like most people change clothes – another trip to an exotic locale in 3 weeks stay tuned – most people do not buy my “help people” advice. They want specifics.

More importantly, they are OBSESSED with channels….Google Adsense, MLM, network marketing, affiliate marketing, list building and selling, etc, etc, etc…sponsored tweets.

I mean, these folks need to know how I did it, so they can do it too. There must be some magical channel, right?

That if you latch onto it, will absolutely, positively, make you rich and allow you to live the internet lifestyle, like I am living.

The Royal Screw Up

Being attached to channels.

People who fail believe that some magical online business opportunity will change their life, or that a particular channel will make them rich, but this is not possible, because things do not make you money, the person who uses things in a certain way, makes money.

Failures keep trying to make things, to make them fortunes, and fail, again and again, because people buy in, or hire out, or click ads, and things, well, channels or things never buy from you, or pad your pockets.

Under Construction - Man working

 

My Life and How I Did It

Yes, I will tell you exactly how I did it.

How I went from the streets of Plainfield, NJ, to the stunning scenery of Jimbaran, Bali, where I rented a 2 bedroom, big old villa for a bit more than I spent on my old apartment in Plainfield, NJ 😉

I will tell you how I pet 400 pound tigers (visit my blog for that one), how I fed endangered squirrel monkeys on my front porch in Quepos, Costa Rica and how I saw a 5 foot long, monstrous water monitor swimming in the channels of Bangkok, Thailand.

I helped people. I continue to help people. I create value through my blog posts and videos.

Right now I publish 50 to 60 videos daily, and publish immediately to my blogs. How? I shoot 30 to 60 second long, short and punchy videos, AND I am a HUNGRY MFer….lol….

I have fallen in love with my lifestyle, and I push myself so I can connect with the billions of people who want to live the lifestyle, so I push myself like few do, because I know that my success hinges on….helping people 😉

 

Practical Tips

1. Before you dream of choosing a channel or channels through which you can make money online, seer these ideas on your mind: help people, promote people, create for people, make friends with people, and prospering ideas, people, circumstances, and money, will flow to you.

2. Never attach yourself to one channel; no one channels makes me money….my ideas make me money, the value, I bring to the market place, the number and quality of my connections and my persistence help me live the internet lifestyle.

3. Spend time aggressively promoting leaders from your niche; this exposes you to prospering ideas and helps you make friends with folks in high places….which is exactly how I connected with online leader Erik here. 😉

4. Work on your mindset. Develop an abundance mentality, and then you will decide which channels vibe with you, and you will learn all you need to know about these channels, so you can rock it out online.

Making money online is simple. The difficulty arises when you stray from creating blog posts or videos, or connecting with people by commenting on their blogs, writing guest posts, or stop aggressively promoting others.

Create, connect, create, connect, create, connect, and you will attract all the tools you need to rock it out online.

 

Help People

I am changing time zones by 12 hours again in a few weeks because I help people.

I do my best to provide Erik with helpful content here, and I push myself like crazy – from a high energy space of course – to create my 50 or 60 videos today.

I will stay up until 2 AM, to do it, because I know WHY I want to rock it out, and it is for me, and you, so I can change lives and yes, live a charmed life myself.

 

Guys, you can do it

Just decide to making helping people A1 on your list of things to do, and know why you want to succeed online, and take it from there.

    Hi Ryan,

    I can’t agree more. If you want to make money online, you got to reach out to others. Traffic, sales and money doesn’t come to you. You need to earn it and the best way to earn it is by telling others that you are ‘alive’.

    Well written mate. Keep it up.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 27, 2013 at 3:24 pm

      Hi Reginald, I agree buddy. Reaching out makes your job easier. Why not expand your presence, help people and allow others to do some networking for you, right? Thanks for sharing dude! Ryan

    Hi Ryan !
    Thanks for sharing your experiences and ofcourse the tips . I feel its very important to engage ourselves with other bloggers,make new friends more than anything else.If i were able to make cash through my network or networks of my friends , then i wont care about the traffic as much as promoting articles (that can get me cash) .Thanks for sharing the information .

    Hey Ryan

    Thank you for the awesome sauce of information. You have much experience. People with good/bad experience can share these kinda post.
    Look forward to learn more from you
    Thank you once again. Have an awesome week 🙂

    Help people, help people! Of course, Ryan. I totally agree with you that “channels” won’t make money. They’re simply the medium through which we (the helpers, can I say?) use to get our ideas passed on to people who need help. And leveraging on our ideas is a great thing for our business too!

    Coz channels might change or die one day, but I’m sure the ideas won’t go anywhere!

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 28, 2013 at 5:47 pm

      Perfectly put Jane, thanks!

    This is definitely true! Helping people is a great way to help you out in the long run. I completely believe in Karma when it comes to this! Thanks for a great post and good luck with your travels!

      Thanks Jason! Karma is always in effect. The more you give the more easily you receive.

    Hi Ryan,
    Another great post of yours.
    I definitely agree with you, Helping people is just help your self. You can gain experiences for others mistakes. That considered a long term plan to success your own business.
    Looking forward to your next post.

    Thanks for your information.

    Another valuable post from you. In every field, we can find people who are asking for help and if one can provide them with proper help, it can be really beneficial. Similarly in blogging, it can be considered a win-win situation.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 29, 2013 at 10:18 pm

      Win win is the way to go. Thanks Mayank!

      Elina I agree 100%. Help and goodness flows back to you quite freely. Karma.

    Ryan, I love your point about not attaching yourself to one channel – great tip! Of course helping people is key but how do you go from helping to making money? That jump can be tricky no? I can’t imagine making 50 video’s a day, wow.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 31, 2013 at 10:11 pm

      It can be Lisa but much of the jump involves expanding our mind thru meditation and visualization. Yep it was a challenge but fun 😉

    ya definitely Ryan, helping others actually helps you a lot to make your future bright in online media. Moreover, helping others helps you to get experience from your previous mistakes. I must say that it is a fabulous article, everybody should learn from this article.
    By the way thanks a lot for sharing this.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 31, 2013 at 10:12 pm

      Nitin I appreciate it…..helping really does change your prospects in a big way.

    Great post, I can’t believe that you create so many videos.

    Totally agree with you that you can’t just have one income source. If you do, this could literally kill your business.

    It takes a lot of work to make it online, but what you said about getting out there and making connections with other bloggers and people, made so much sense.

    I just started doing that about a month and a half ago. I love it.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      August 31, 2013 at 10:13 pm

      I love it too Susan, so much fun! Thanks for stopping by.

    Hi Ryan,
    Your story seems to be an inspiration for all new bloggers. I do agree with you. It necessary to use several channels to make money online rather than depending on a single channel.

    • Ryan Biddulph says

      September 5, 2013 at 3:07 pm

      Agreed Sarmista….open up those income streams!

  13. Denis D. says

    50-60 videos per day, that’s crazy, what exactly do you shoot your videos on?

    And thank you for motivating us. I dream of becoming a nomad who earns too.
