Well, there is a different between “luck” or “lucky” against “Good Luck” with capital letter. Some had wrote about “Good Luck” more on reflecting what I had wrote about “The Success System That Never Fail“. So what actually the different between “luck” or “Good Luck”? And why its’ important to your blogging success?
What is luck?
When you family or you received an inheritance, you were lucky. Luck, plain luck, does not depend on you because you just had a bit of luck, and that’s why you don’t have much for long. This make the fundamental system of the Good Luck System – plain luck doesn’t last long. In order to follow this system you going to create you own Good Luck only that way it will last forever.
Perhaps this few article to understand more about luck:

Rule 2 – Full-assed or no-assed approach.
I remember the other day I read a very long post from Steve Pavlina on “How To Make Money From Your Blog“. I like to quote:
If you do decide to generate income from your blog, then don’t be shy about it.
If you’re going to do this, then fully commit to it. Don’t take a half-assed approach. Either be full-assed or no-assed
Many are those who want to make money out of blogging or online business, but few are those willing to pursue it. Perhaps you may need to read Steve Pavlina post and print it out. You could also read this post by Ken Brown on “A Secret To Blogging Success You Don’t Want to Hear”
Rule 3 – Re-Invent
If you want to make money from adsense, or any affiliate program, and your using Google or Yahoo, it always boiled down to three requirements:
- Traffic. Traffic is the life stream of any online venture.
- Cost per click. With AdSense or Yahoo being a PPC program, your earnings would naturally depend on the price of each click. You may get 100 cllicks in 24 hours but if all pay just $0.01 cent you only make about $0.10 but if it pay $0.15, then you make $15 in 24 hours.
- Click Through Rate. The CTR pertains to the number of people who really click on the ads that appear on your web pages. Your goal is to get a high CTR to profit with PPC program.
If your current setup not make your money then it’s time to re-invent.
Rule 4 – Don’t be a self-centric individualist
Nowadays everybody talked about social media marketing and how effective is social media in generating traffic and marketing.
Social media always about two way communication therefore it’s not everything about you or you asking everything from other people.
In re-inventing, helping other, acknowledging other will certainly make success more likely to appear.
