“Want it? Go get it!”

Those are the words of Will Smith along with many others on his path to Success and Happiness. I have always had a great respect for this man. He has gone from some poor kid in Philly with nothing more than a dream to a multi-million or billion dollar man who has been an actor, musician and one heck of an inspiration to millions.

I was born some poor kid in Northern Michigan and honestly I’m no Will Smith, but the path that he speaks of is how I became who I am today. I am no longer that poor kid in Michigan, but someone who has taken control of their own life and am making my dreams come true … “One brick at a time” as Will says.

I have been keeping an eye on Will Smith since I myself was a child watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air after school. Even then he was an inspiration. Uncle Phil had become a judge only through many hard years of being a lawyer, living in apartments and more. Will had come from nothing as well and was experiencing a whole new world of life. I felt a connection with him, seeing that there was more to life than the streets of Philly just like I started to see that there was more to life than what I knew.

Today, I found a video that demands to be shared. I watched it a couple of times before I decided to blog about it. I feel that more people should see this and understand what it is he is trying to say. I am daily living proof that these ideas are beyond real, they are just the truth. I hope you enjoy this little video about success … I did.

Profitable blogs have a few things in common & they are clearly identifiable.  These things are not just part of the design but are the things that make them successful & profitable.

1. Identify Your Main Goal

Sounds simple, right? And yet when you visit some blogs it is so hard to figure out what is it they are trying to accomplish. Blogs littered with multiple banner ads, Google AdSense, multitude of dynamic widgets placed in what seems like random order.
Does the description above resembles your blog?

The fact is, too much clutter on your blog doesn’t help you achieve your goal, but actually prevents you from it! The simplest way to do a “usability” test of your blog is to ask friends or family members to visit and tell you about their experience.  If they tell you that it looks messy, they’re probably right. It’s hard to achieve a perfect balance when monetizing our blogs and this is where identification the site’s main goal comes into place.

Identify One Single Action you want your visitors to take:

• An affiliate product sale that pays great commissions and directly related to your niche
• Subscription Form to your email list
• Sale of your own product

It should be ONE single action you want your visitors to take.  One that would be most beneficial to you as blogger and rewards you for what you provide towards your niche.  Once you main goal is identified,  find a few more secondary goals. The idea here is to not overwhelm the visitor, but offer choices besides your main offer.

2. Force The Action

• Main Offer – be sure you place it where it will be visible from EVERY single page on your blog and above the fold.  This is one action you stand to benefit from the most.  You should make the main offer clearly visible and accessible.
  *TIP: Top left corner get the most clicks!  Don’t be shy about it – it is your reward for your great content!*
• Secondary Offers – they should be easily found, but still below you main offer. The sidebar is a perfect location or just below the post, integrated into template files. It helps you present your readers with choices and gives you more chances to earn while still making your main offer most prominent.
