For the past few days I’ve been avidly reading any entrepreneur blog I can find from the Mind Petals network and through the blogrolls of those respected entrepreneurs. There is a general problem that lingers with most of these youths though.

All of these young entrepreneurs seem to not be in it for the long haul, even if they think they might be. All of them have very creative minds and think of neat ideas all the time. As much as we don’t want to admit it, most of these ideas never succeed. So, what should all of these aspiring youths do?

I think all aspiring young entrepreneurs should focus in and learn the ins and outs of internet marketing. All it takes is one to three hours a day of reading through various blogs, magazines, and forums. After a bit of time your knowledge will be varied and diverse. A good example would be someone who is in college and if he stuided internet marketing and other things related to that, what could he become an ‘expert’ in?

• Programming. After learning html, you can master html with css. After a while, many people will notice the power of PHP and javascript. Relying on other people only works so much. Although it is very possible to never learn to code, coding PHP on your own will help. Learning the basics of PHP and HTML can be as simple as buying two or three books from your local Barnes & Nobles.
• Search engine optimization. SEO will teach you how to rank well for search engines, primarily google. All this takes is reading the leading forums and blogs. Some of them are: digital point, high rankings, v7n forums, seomoz blog, seobook blog, and matt cutts blog.
• E-commerce. After a bit of time, you can take a small risk and try out the eBay game. If it works out for you, then thats awesome. It would probably be best for all aspiring entrepreneurs to at least get your feet wet in this field.
• CPC and affiliate programs. By making content sites and focusing on them, along with SEO, you will learn the ins and outs of getting money through programs like Adsense and affiliate programs. This can be a very good stable income.

All of these different topics will make you a diverse businessman for the internet generation and more confident as well. All of the bullets above lead to other skills as well. Things like SEO teach you the basics of analysis because you need to follow trends of search engines. If you were to sit down and think of how all of the skills above connect to other skills, you could go on for a while.

For these initial first few weeks of blogging, it has been tough. Finding readers and getting visitors each day is difficult. What is saadh.com’s traffic? The stat programs say above 20 people a day, but who knows how many from that number actually read the blog. Because of this, the motivation to blog isn’t normally there.

I will try to post updates multiple times a day now. A few reasons why this would be beneficial:
1. Once you being getting lazy with a site and not updating, then that attitude begins to stick.
2. Whether or not the blog is read, blogging still helps self-pride.
3. Blogging keeps you focused. If I write about accomplishing something, then I’ll have more motiviation to accomplish even more.
4. Most of all, I am very intriguied by the Mind Petal Network of young entrepreneurs, a new, but selective network of promising entrepreneurs who blog about their journey. I think I definetly bring something different to the table than most young entrepreneurs.

Routine Plans:
- Post up daily adsense revenue on the right navigational side. This will only include recorded ad revenue from companies through CPC, CPM, or affiliate programs. That means, no one-time sales, text links sales, or other types of revenue.
- Try to provide an SEO tip or method either, every day, or every other day.
