blah blah blah. this is barely a step up from the meta-blogging about blogging about blogging that gets posted every day. although very good writers, I'm getting sort of sick of the general platitudes coupled with anecdotes that I read from guys like pavlina, godin, et al.

Dollars talking to each other... the universe talking to us (in great detail, no less)... psychics charging $395/hr. over the phone...

It's pretty hard to take anything seriously when it's presented as such fluff and reads like it's written for a five-year-old. It leaves me feeling like I'm in a bad dream stuck between my first grade teacher and Rhonda Byrne.

You realize that psychic is his wife, right? Makes the whole thing even weirder.

Not to mention the title...

One-line summary: If people offer you money for doing something you love, and you take it, you can earn money; if you don't take it, you won't earn money; therefore: take the money.

Does it involve standing on a street corner?

'Cause if it doesn't, I'm not interested.

I would also add that one of the worst aspects of this post is that it encourages people to bug/annoy other people to pay you for things in awkward contexts.

"Love dollar." Wow.

>>I earned a whopping $2.36 from ad clicks. ... Twenty months later my daily income from this website had increased by more than 500 times.<<

He really makes $1180/day == $430,700/year? Dang. I need to get into self-help love-dollar blogging.

I didn't really how new-agey Steve was back when I used to read his stuff more often, but lately it all seems kind of hokey. Hopefully his ad revenue will go down a little bit and force him to come back to the real world.

Steve Pavlina started out as a pretty smart, credible sort of guy, but now he's always posting this kind of blather.
