Then there's the question of whether this is fastlane.. Is blogging fastlane? I am beginning to lean towards the idea that anything can be fastlane. It depends on who you are and what you're made for, so to speak, right? Maybe MY fastlane is the blog kinda site I have in mind!
Hmmm... you really made me think with that "He ate, slept, and lived golf."...
Thank you and please do point out if you see any flaws in my thinking!
Almost any idea can be fastlane - it depends on how you put it into practice!
For example:
- Running a hot-dog stand near some railroad station is not fastlane. Owning 10.000 hot-dog stands near 10.000 railroad stations, creating a brand and having other people sell for you is.
- Writing your own computer programs and selling it to a few local companies usually is not. Having a lot of computer programs written and sold to a larger, nationwide or global market is.
... etc. - I think you should get the point. It is very important that your idea can be replicated any number of times.
Therefore it is crucial to get rid of the thought that you have to do all the work yourself as soon as possible. Find competent people to make the money for you!
As for blogging I think that the gold rush is basically over. The big money has gone to the blogging pioneers and innovaters!
But still: You can make decent money (much more than 5000$/month) with blogging if done right, using the fastlane principles.
