This is the second of three parts in this series. Part 1: Balance, Part 2: Hard Work, Part 3: Stand Out From The Crowd.

I’m happy to announce and publish the first series here. Included here you will find the second key to success when blogging. That key is hard work.

Many people claim all of these get rich quick schemes, or easy money online. In all of my experiences, to make any decent money, some amount of work must be put in. The most success I had with the least amount of up front work was my experiences with eDataJob. I will not try to sell you on that, as I already provided a post, but there was very little up front work to make the amount of money that I did from that opportunity. However, work was still needed, and that is the key of this post.

After reading multiple articles about successful blogging and working hard, the general assumption is that where there is hard work, success is not far away. However, this hard work must be consistent in order to be successful. By that I mean that you cannot work hard for a week or two and then instantly think you will be one of the more successful bloggers. A friend told me a quote about working out:

When I run, I go for 21 minutes. If I can go for 20 minutes, why not do 21?

I countered with the response of “why not do 30, 60, 90″ but that’s another story. The point is that if you are working on your blog anyways, make it worth your while. When you are doing something, go at it 100%. Do not half-ass your work. With a substantial effort, your time and work will be rewarded.

I have been working on this blog for just over 2 weeks, and I have worked hard at creating an encouraging learning environment to help teach people about making money online. With my work, I have recognized my Technorati rankings on the rise (which isn’t saying much because of how “young” this blog is, but still). Traffic has also increased substantially, in fact increases have been upwards of 300% unique visitors per day.

Enough of my short earned success though. The underlying point is that you are reading this because you wish to be successful. Therefore I can assume that you want to put forth some effort to reach your goals. Remember that when you are working, make sure you work 100% so you are not wasting your time. Your efforts will be rewarded.
