35. Don't bet against the Net

The old saying in Silicon Valley goes, "Don't bet against the Internet."

While circa 2000, only geeks and greedy VCs would believe such apparently hyped truism, today everybody who has a brain understands that the Internet is here to stay.

If we can't get rid of the Internet and if it will become increasingly more present in our lives -- studies have shown that teenagers spend about 5.5 hours per day online, then we might as well find ways to MAKE MONEY from this globe-spanning network.

Blogging, indeed, can be described as globe-spanning communications. If you know what to write, and whom you are writing for, then there is no reason why you can't become famous and rich.

The first key to success is to write what your specific readers will consider as a quick solution to their informational challenge. The second key to success is to literarily package that information in the form of a bait, so that visitors become readers, and readers become subscribers.
