The Art of Blind Confidence: The Skill Everyone Needs For Success

A sane person never succeeds for the goal seems impossible; it is the person that never doubts his success that will ultimately achieve; it is he who conquers the impossible.

This principal applies greatly to the web because to all beginners (myself included) making it on the web seems impossible. Many people think that the entire principle of making money online is a scam; Bloggers blog for months without seeing a dollar profit. I personally have been told that I need to think about getting a real job, not a fantasy one.

The Web is a vast and complicated place, a place that can take years of hard work before you can see a decent profit. Yet, the profits do happen, and when all the quiters have quit and the serious people have worked hard, the money comes (and sometimes in great quantities).

The benefits of becoming a webmaster sound great, but to most they are unachievable. Most people end up quitting after a few months when they only pocket a few dollars from all their hard work. Most end up quitting when after 100 posts there subscriber count still remains low. Most end up quitting when they realize that they are receiving less than 100 visitors a day. Yes, the web world is a challenging place.

That’s where blind confidence comes in, the ability to ignore all the statistics, and all the results that constantly persuade you to quit. Ignore everything and just focus on working hard and doing the best you can. Success will come for those who persevere.

Every blog that has been around for more than three years is at the top of it’s class. Have you ever seen an old blog that has a low subscriber count or that barely gets any comments? If you do find one than the blogger didn’t provide good content and didn’t promote nearly enough.

The thing with the web is: low traffic, low traffic, low traffic, spike. It is when you spike that the traffic and the money comes, and with hard work the spike will come. Think of Squidoo: after years or providing a good service and good content, their traffic spiked 90 percent in one year!

Persevering through all the odds will bring you success. Don’t let anything get you down; act like you are just making your blog or website for your own eyes. Keep working hard, and you will see the gold at the end of the rainbow.

A Warning

Though blind confidence is great, arrogance is definitely not. If you need to make changes to your blog, don’t think "Everything I do it right" and miss out on making your blog or website better. You want blind confidence to motivate you to persevere, not hinder the performance of your blog or website.
