Why did I create a blog to make money? Here’s my story:
I can afford to live in a beautiful spot in the country. We have gardens and fruit trees, minutes from the beach. No city lights or traffic noise.
Not tied to a job, I homeschool my son and have time and freedom for playing music – violin, cello and piano, real classical education. Fun adventures together.
But the best part is how I do it. Just natural pressure. Why I call it Gushher.com. It’s already underneath and waiting to be tapped for a free life. No social media. No product. No service. No customers. No clients. No emails. No phone calls. No office building. No employees. One part-time independent contractor. No ads. Hardly any expenses. Lean, mean, simple, dizzyingly profitable. I keep my life private. My friends have no idea how much money I make. But you could probably live my life on like three- maybe four hundred Gs a year. That’s what most of my much older neighbors earn.
But yeah. You can do this without being internet famous. You can be a total introvert. You don’t need to slog out your entire life on Instagram, believe it or not. Your blog is all that matters. If it does its job, you’ll make money. Period. How much privacy you want to give up, is up to you.
The number one thing to me is freedom. I want to be left alone. I don’t wanna answer to anyone. Ever. I wanna wake up, meditate, type some words, hit publish, close my laptop, get the off the internet, and go enjoy my day. Get a workout in. Read to my son and go on outings with him. Spend time with the people I love. Play my violin and cello instruments. Try to be in the moment. You can’t do that if you’re constantly getting hit up.
Question is, how do you create a way to make money in thousands to millions as essentially a one-person show, without beeps, buzzes, dings, and dummies hijacking your time and energy? Well, you’re looking at it. And you being here is proof that it’s possible. You came to me, right? All I did was write some stuff. Probably months ago. Chances are, I’m not even online right now. Yet if you view an ad, or click on one, or buy something from one of my affiliate links, I’ll make money. Either way, my job is already done. I don’t have to go back and forth with you eleventy-five times via email and then hop on a call to close you and then support you for the next six months to get paid, do I? So in a nutshell, that’s how. By blogging. Smart.
And I can do it from anywhere in the world. One of my local beaches:
At the playground while my son plays (that’s an ai kid but you get it, don’t ya):
At the ski resort:
And I’m headed on holiday next week. And I’m doing this with no advantages. I don’t come from money. I was not much above broke when I started, with student loans. Every course, every tool, every piece of software I purchased early on was financed by Uncle Visa. No one supported me. You’re wasting your time, they said. Give it up. Just work overtime if you want more money.
I had no connections. No millionaire mentor holding my hand. I chased shiny scams which failed miserably. Tried it all. Failed. Till I came to blogging. I’ll never forget it. Reviewed some product on one of the many blogs I had launched. But damn, that feeling? There was nothing like it. I was hooked. Still didn’t think I’d ever make big big money. I remember sayin’, “Man, if I can just make five K a month, I could quit my day job and do this full-time.”
All I ever wanted was five grand a month. That was the dream. Just enough to not have a boss, a schedule, an alarm clock, a commute, that anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach come Sunday night. Making a lifestyle that gushhers? Pfft. Never even crossed my mind. That part was an accident. A welcome side effect of the successful money making blog I could create, I suppose.
And that should excite you. I’m just your average single mum who was game to give it a go. I’m no entrepreneur. Never had a lemonade stand growing up. Or a candy hustle at school. I’ve been terrified to ask someone for money. Ha! I’d rather lick the bathroom floor at the cafe.
And no, I’m not technical. I’ve picked up some things over the years, sure. But take this basic-thing-of-a-blog, for example. Like, I don’t even have a custom logo. C’mon. I just clicked some buttons and started typing. Anyone can.
Hate writing? So did I, for the first, oh I dunno, twenty-two years or so of my life. It meant staring at a blank Word document at nine o’clock at night with a ten page paper due at eight the next morning; and that was awful. But blogging’s a whole different animal. For one, you’re only writing about stuff you love. So it doesn’t feel like work. Two, there’s no rules. You’re not getting graded on grammar. Matter fact, I’ll let you in on a little secret. This only took me like seven years to figure out. With blogging, the more conversational you make it, the better off you’ll be. Seriously. Here’s a million dollar tip: type it how you’d say it to a friend over a cuppa tea. There you go. That’s my special sauce. The reason you’ve stayed with me—some twat waffle on a rusty, dented up blog—for one thousand and fifty nine words so far.
Here’s another thing. A lot of the writing is already done, if you want it to be. Heard of AI? You can just report on what’s out there. Take a look at some of my posts here on Gushher. Like half of ’em are quotes from millionaires. Hieee, those are all copy-paste. Then you got net worths. With those, I’m just rewriting what’s on Wikipedia or whatever. You can summarize videos and podcasts and even have AI do the core summarizing for you, talk about what someone posted on social media, give your opinion on a news story. Heck, who’s to say your blog has to be long-form text? You could just upload memes or share viral videos. Case in point: WorldStar. That blog is worth millions and millions and millions of dollars and those guys don’t write a word. They just gather up shocking content from around the web.
Of course, you could also hire other writers and just kind of quarterback the whole thing. That’s an option too. But, bottom line, don’t trick yourself into thinking you’re not qualified to blog. If you can talk, congrats, you can write/type. And if you’re anything like me, you might just fall in love with it. Especially when it starts adding zeroes to your bank account.
Are you feeling this so far? Just a mom. Gotten to know some amazing people after I got my blogging-money going. When I wanted to grow a little. Inspired me to go for mindset. Hey, this positive thinking stuff it actually works when you got some money under you. Worth it to use extra money to get some extra positive mindset in this little ol’ life. My days have a few gushers of lifestyle, rich meaning, and some serious windfall-money now and again – all coming from these mindset attempts. So I write about them here on Gushher.
I created Gushher and it’s working too. Pumping. Gunna keep doing it everyday-ish for us, for you and me and our kind of going-for-freedom-and-needing-more-money kind of people. Want some insights. Ready for some nitty-gritty to get going with money-making that has almost no barriers to entry. Blogging works for me. Works when I wanted to be left alone and needed some money.
Incredibly I am just a single mom. But me and mine got some money blogging. Time freedom so now I can invest. So when we felt like it we went out and met some of the famous promotors out there and even some of the really next-level-happy private world-shapers you never heard of and never will – till you meet them yourself when you feel like it too.
I don’t get out much for meetings at present because life has become so much of what I prayed for it to be. My dance card is full up on my own people. But I know I gotta keep growing now that I have blogging-money under me, so I owe it to my own ‘peeps’ to grow. The kids don’t wanna be dumped on promotors, they want to learn from me. So I need to know some more stuff every year.
That’s my “big why” motivation for how I made Gushher.com. It’s another blog apart from my niche blog stuff I make so much of my blogging-money on. It’s my notes for myself on how to try out and evaluate new things and find new influences that really work – settle on the stuff that is good for my own real decisions of what is better to pursue for me (and yah it’s documented here as insights for you).
Natural pressure on myself to win big by just making some valuable notes and putting it in a system that helps with decisions and pays too. With input from for us from the mentors and partners I got around to wanting to meet after I had my blogging-money underneath me. Smart.
You can see everything new and tried-and-true. We post it all here. Guess what? You copy the plan and take your own notes in your own voice and store your decision making process for your own growth on your blog (more on getting this set up below) and have it pay you too.
Bonus to you. My partner in Gushher …
( I met my partner when I decided to get out there and meet some of the big people with my blogging-money underneath me)
…knows personally many of the original promotors out there – from decades ago. When they were first starting out.
Now they are internet famous too. Mixed in with all the new promotors. But they spend big on advertising and are social media famous too. The tech making them even more famous. You don’t need any fancy mentors to get started blogging. I didn’t. But my partner has had all “the old school” ones. Knows who’s real and what their strengths really are.
When we met my partner told me I had to grow. I told him I just blogged for money without any of these so called mentors and boosters and campaigns and programs and I am doing fine. I have my freedom money, I spend my time homeschooling, investing in my own people. But he knocked me back a bit when he said “so are they”. Most of them are homeschooling also. Most of them are time free – doing what they love. He had my attention. Insisted that I start looking at ways to grow. To do more for others – set an example for my family.
I asked him how do I pick something to do? They all sound so convincing… but I don’t want hassles. Blogging set me free. Don’t wanna rock the boat.
Told me not to change anything. “You can blog your process. You look at new ideas. You are of making the decisions about whose programs are really better for you in your actual situation. For what you want out of life. So Blog it, Blog that process. Everyone is in the same boat as you. If you are human you gotta grow. And so does every other human. We’re all getting promoted everyday by new and old “opportunities”. Many of these teams selling growth are amazing. They are worth looking into. Worth seeing how they market. Worth finding the one growth area that really is better than all the rest for you where you are now.
I laughed and I said “that’s me… that’s blogging. It is better than all the rest for my situation. Blogging is always better for where I am now.”
Now I had my partner’s attention; Hooked deeper in this. Commitment to what works is always attractive.
“Really…. let’s do it together then, and make it a thing. Your conviction for promoting the blogging program and my personal experience with promotors of all kinds. We’ll just look at everything. Document our process on your blog. Give real valuable insights since everyone is in the same boat – humans have to grow and are under natural pressure to take a look at what the promotors big and small are up to.”
I said “yah, natural pressure is sure the right phrase- I am so happy I got into blogging and that pressure underneath me just works on its own natural expression.” And from my blogging experience with getting domains that people can relate to but are nearly free I told him “Let’s call it Gushher.com”
Gushher is our process for making it happen. You too. Since I don’t travel much for it anymore – everything comes to me for the blog. So many promotions are expertly (and not so expertly but still out there) marketed. Brought to me online. And you. Here you are reading my words. You can do the same. Get in this flow. Copy what I do. But let yourself dream a little with your pressure to grow and check out our insights into all the programs out there – we’ll help you with both insights into what those programs offer great, good, bad, and terrible. You’ll have to take notes because you don’t want to just jump from one thing to the next – that’s expensive gambling. Your notes are your blog posts. You document just like we do on Gushher. Your insight will grow with ours. You’ll make money and we’ll make money. But you don’t have to sign up for anything from us. Just copy us. It’s all affiliates and ads that do all the work and we make money without having to hassle you or follow up with you a hundred times. You do too.
It’s easy and fun. Get up tomorrow from bed. Check out some stuff the algorithms bring you. Write something. But I actually do recommend a little travel to meet some of the long-time amazing folks you want to see up close and the up-and-comers too. I don’t get out much myself anymore so I am sorting through what decisions I should make – next steps and all that – right here on Gushher. You can do the same even while you travel or just sitting at home while you start piling up the money you need.
My thought process benefits you. I got it going daily for you here on Gushher. Your process when you copy it – that’ll benefit others too. Guess what – benefit for others that you get out there on the internet and social media, it makes you money. When you let other people in on your experience so they can make decisions about all those next steps out there … it’s value. That’s why you are here. Because my experience means something to you. Value. I’m totally private, I don’t want hassles. But you do your style. Give up as much privacy as you want to.
You blog your experience of this process. Write about getting to next steps of what’s really better for you – in your situation – by looking into all the promotors out there too. Click some buttons like I did. Now you have a blog. Write some stuff everyday like I do. You are creating value just by learning.
And do some niche blog’s (more on that below)… so you really getting experience with having more money (we’ll get to that). Be authentic and present it in your own voice. Your way. Just checking out promotors. They are spending all the marketing dollars – you just make blogging money when they bring people to your page because you wrote about them. That’s how you got here. Nobody commits to some promotor’s program until they do a search on the person. Bingo. Here you are. Your page could be getting this traffic too.
About that “competition” between your blogs and mine – it isn’t competition. It’s collaboration. Helping me. Elon Musk – you know Tesla and SpaceX, and X (was Twitter) – the richest guy in the world as of this writing – Elon tells a story about Coke and Pepsi. It’s all over social media and the net, easy to find. He says “you think Coke and Pepsi are competitors but they are really collaborators.”
Elon’s right. That’s why I am talking to you about blogging along with me, copying me. Because we are actually collaborators. It’s what an economy really is (when you tune-out the commies and just do some stuff that is helpful to us all – like blogging).
So Elon goes on and he tells the story about Coke and Pepsi. Their machines are side-by-side all over the place, sometimes just one brand, but most of the time they both are in the same spot. Location Location Location they say. Why don’t they keep the other guy out of their spot? Powerful lesson for us in the answer as Elon tells it. Fear not competition. Collaborate. They found out that if there is only just the one Coke machine, the customer has to decide “am I thirsty?” When the answer is no, as it is much of the time, the rest of all of Coke’s vast marketing power has no effect at all. Not thirsty.
When they tested letting the Pepsi machine in next to the Coke machine the sales went up for both brands! Why? The natural pressure put on the consumer changed from “am I thirsty?” in that location, to “which soda do I want in case I get thirsty”. Sales for both brands went way up in the same location as much more than twice the number of people chose not to walk away from not being thirsty and stay there and decide which brand they have the power to choose “in case” they get thirsty cuz the decision moved from am I thirsty to “thirst is a thing” and “which brand do I prefer for when I am sure to be thirsty” The natural pressure changed and created gushhers of sales for both brands.
Most places you go with soda machines both brands are there and they even put other sodas inside their machine too. If a company has a machine in a good spot they invite the competitor to join them so their sales will rise. It’s natural pressure. I chose Gushher.com as our web domain and brand (more on this for your site names soon) because on the internet location is literally unlimited and so called competition, especially with social and search algorythms today, is mutually beneficial to us all – it’s all natural pressure. Collaboration. Copy me and I’ll just do better.
And it will be easier for you to start than it was for me. The more I do the better you will do. And I am killing it. Where are you? Location location location on the internet is literally only clicks away for you. The promotors are spending millions, some of them hundreds of millions, on the advertising that is giving us the benefits of this natural pressure. Gushher!
Why not start your own blog. Love of collaboration is scientific and everything in your life gets better and better the more you join me in my locations, for both of us. Does Elon Musk being rich take away from my ability to be rich? No. It’s natural pressure working for me.
When I talk up the same value and insights packaged my own way right next to the same one’s as Elon – even just by writing some stuff about Elon – then instead of your mind feeling pressure to decide if you are in the mood to trust yourself to make some decisions alone. Now your mind, with me riffing on Elon’s money and making money my blogging way just talkin’ about Elon, your mind starts deciding “do I trust Elon and go take a loan for a new Tesla or send my biometric data in to X so Elon will pay me to be an X creator sharing in his ad revenue” or you mind thinks “do I trust Bonnie at Gushher.com about how I should copy her stuff and start blogging just like she does but with my own flair and my own freedom”
The natural pressure is on “well I have to trust somebody, it’s like thirst, “trust to get started is a thing” the need to trust something is not going away, like thirst it’s always going to come back up so I got to decide on some money-making trust now” You start deciding not what your mood is about trusting yourself alone, but rather I am giving you the natural pressure to decide between whether you prefer trusting me and trusting Elon. Both are fine. I am just writing more stuff on the internet for people to get more insights – what they call “curating” it – like when I take the kids to the museum and all the historical stuff that has always been around is “curated” by the museum for our visit.
I get some more people making money blogging or Elon gets some more people into a Tesla as their status symbol or into his biometric database for paying X (Twitter) advertising to you as another Creator on X (Twitter). I don’t mind helping Elon by talking him up, I am curating his stuff for him, giving it another angle of vision and insight – adding value. That’s an economy of natural pressure. It makes a lot of sense when you do it like Coke and Pepsi do. Competition makes us all better everyday – together, in the same location location location – the online world of talkin’ about each other.
Why shouldn’t you make money blogging when Elon spends fortunes on making the internet safe for X (Twitter) and advertises on it for Tesla and Space X? Elon knows you are helping him too. Making his advertising money compound instead of be wasted when someone is not in the mood.
In the Coke example that real estate owner who gets rent from two soda machine brands instead of one fearful of competition brand so the real estate owner is now making twice the money… hieeee, he can improve the location, can’t he? Paint it nicer. Put in better lighting. Smooth out the sidewalk. Win win win. That’s freedom. The freedom to win by making money. Everyone wins.
Guess who is the real estate owner in our example but for starting your own blog? It’s Bluehost. I get you to copy me making-money-by-blogging, we both make money doing the same stuff – writing some stuff that works for us 24/7 all around the world – and because there is more of us on Bluehost increasing the natural pressure of helping each other cycle information by writing some stuff: then hey, Bluehost are like the real estate owner making more money and improving the access and traffic capabilities etc. (a better sidewalk and lighting for our blogs, so to speak). We have more money, they have more money and bring us even more customers that are in the growing natural pressure of the gushher for decision making of who is better for them to trust for their knowing that needing more money is like thirst – it’s not going to go ever stop.
Gushher.com – is not just quotes and reviews, blogging is access to natural (underground) pressure for explosive transformation to a making-more-money life. Low risk. High reward. Win win win not “competition” and not “it’s already been done and all the locations are gone”. It’s not only Coke and Pepsi. New sodas and drinks are getting invented daily and Coke and Pepsi are happy to put them in their machines. We need new bloggers more and more everyday.
Want me to show you how to create your own blog to make money, step-by-step? So you can make some of that nobody-bother-me money as well? Make both our sales go up? Then mosey on over to the next page:
