The Make Money Online Community

I’m going to step out of my comfort zone and make a kind of sappy post. I read most of the popular “MMO” blogs, like Copyblogger, Problogger, Courtney’s Internet Marketing School, along with the inevitable blog of Seth Godin. There are dozens of others that I’m subscribed to.

I’ve always loved reading the comments on these blogs. To be honest, I probably have “better” things to do with my time. But I can’t help but notice the different types of people that the MMO industry attracts.

These are individuals who are thinking outside of the box. They have a concrete idea of what they want, which is more than a lot of people. But not only do they have dreams, they also are in the “plan” or “action” stage, actively attempting to shape their life in the form they want it. It’s nothing short of heroic to see a blogger fail literally a dozen websites, only to pop right back up and start another one.

There are always bad apples, but, as much as they “stick out like a sore thumb”, they’re the minority. The average person trying to make money online is someone who is hard working, creative, passionate, and just wants to make his or her life better. The MMO community is filled with the type of person I find encouraging, endearing and downright /moral/.

You guys are pretty awesome.
