I continue to read hundreds and thousands of articles teaching people how to be a six-figure blogger. Now about 99% of the articles I read about making money online all leave out the most important factors of being a six-figure blogger. Developing a six figure mindset! A couple days ago I was having a conversation with a friend of mine Robb Sutton about what many bloggers lack when it comes to six-figure blogging. Through out our conversation I found to see that both Robb and I are firm believers that it’s all about the mindset.
You need to develop a six-figure mindset in order to have a six figure blog
One of the secrets to a six-figure blog is having a six-figure mindset. You have to believe in yourself that you have the ability to be successful. If keep thinking “I hope one day I will become the next Darren Rowse” that’s all you’ll be. Another fish in the sea dreaming one day to make it big in the blogging world. Instead…you need to be thinking more like “I know I’m going to become bigger than Darren Rowse” that’s the mindset to have!
If you really want to make it big and start making money online, you need to get any thoughts in your head that are telling you that you can’t do it and eliminate them. Because honestly, that’s just bullshit. I’ve consulted with thousands of people and I’ve not met one person who does not have the potential to be the next six-figure blogger.
Forming the six-figure mindset
OK now it’s time to form you’re six-figure mindset. I’m going to show you a simple exercise I use all the time, which helps me a lot.
Materials needed
- Pencil or pen
- 2 pieces of paper
- 10-15 minutes of your time
- Quiet environment
Steps to take
- Write down all negative and un-motivational thoughts you have on a piece of paper (Ex: I hope I will be a six-figure blogger)
- Take a pen/pencil and cross them out
- Write down all positive thoughts (Ex: I will be a six-figure blogger)
- Repeat step #3
- Throw away your paper with the un-motivational thoughts
- Read out-loud your thoughts from step #3
This should become a daily routine for you until you eliminate any thoughts that aren’t going to help you become a six-figure blogger.
I also suggest checking out Robb Sutton’s post “I am the only one that stands in the way”
Is six-figure blogging still possible for newbie bloggers?
Six-figuring blogging is still possible, however…not everyone is going to achieve the success of being a six-figure blogger. Don’t let this put you down, it’s all about developing the problogging mindset and taking the right steps to becoming a six-figure blogger.

So true. It is all in the mind!
Shane Hudson´s last blog ..A Taste Of Things To Come
Yupp, it truly is all about having that “Positive” six-figure mindset.
are you actually making six figures by blogging I would like for you to check my website out and give me feedback just click on my name.
If you want to work with me, you can sign up for my Blogging eCourse and I offer free private coaching, just look for the “Rob’s blogging bootcamp” link when you sign up. I’m able to offer the most help that way.
Interesting exercise. However, you can talk to yourself all day and never get a step closure to having that big paycheck. The reason? Lack of action! You have to produce something to be productive, and you have to do it better than the majority of other people in at least one respect.
Awesome post! A few minor writing errors
but the message is clear!
Corey Freeman´s last blog ..A Secret Outlining Technique for Greater Writing Success
Stole the words out of my mouth Corey. It’s all about ACTION! I wrote about that in a previous post of mine. Action is KING to making money online.
Thanks for the link! You are 100% correct…all starts with the way you think. Without the right mindset…you are just spinning your wheels.
Robb Sutton´s last blog ..Ramped Blogging – The Ultimate Blogging Guide for Beginner and Advanced Bloggers
No problem for the link-back Robb you deserve it! And you’re right people just spin their wheels if all they do is “dream” and not take action
I agree 100% with this. A persons thoughts creates their life. If you think you won’t suceed then you won’t suceed.
Paula from Affiliate Blog Online´s last blog ..We’ve Added the Comment Luv Plugin to Our Blog
Paula you are so right you should make a quote from that last sentence if you haven’t already “If you think you wont succeed then you won’t succeed” I love it.
I guess it does sound good doesn’t it? Might just Tweet it.
I just noticed your Advertise Here ad and clicked on to see what Advertising software you are using as I am looking for something for my site. Looks good so I just purchased it via your aff link.

You’re very right Rob. Awesome article and great way to help bloggers see the big picture.
Seth W´s last blog ..The Secrets to Writing A Superb Review (That Makes You Money)
Thanks a lot Seth, that’s my ultimate goal of this post. To help bloggers see the “BIG” picture of making money online it’s really all about having the mindset.
I agree the mindset is everything. It’s what will keep you going when times get tough.
Certainty mindset + execution = Success
It’s really hard for anyone, not just newbies to become a six figure blogger but I think with proper mindset and dedication it can be feasible and attainable. But as you’ve said, there would be a small chance, but still there’s still a chance w/c is better than none at all.

So when are you paying your tax for being a 6 figure blogger?
King Sidharth´s last blog . . .How to Judge a Brilliant or Bad Idea? A Bulletproof Way!
Glad you liked it, didn’t get your last question though
You are gonna be 6 fig blogger… when?
King Sidharth´s last blog . . .How to Judge a Brilliant or Bad Idea? A Bulletproof Way!
If I keep working hard, and investing. By the end of 2010 I should be raking in a six-figure income.
Super cool! Expect same from me. Just need time to work on million dollar ideas.
You planning to share some of your ways of earning?
King Sidharth´s last blog . . .How to Judge a Brilliant or Bad Idea? A Bulletproof Way!
Awesome and no I don’t share my ways. Haha kidding, of course
right now I’m still testing my best income earners and everything, and after I hit six-figures, I’ll announce it into a article and the methods I’ve used to get their, and my income streams etc.
Hey Rob,
You are truely right here.
Not everyone will become a six-figure blogger. Even those who work as hard as they possibly can. Its all about the mindset you have. It you have the mindset of someone who believes they have no boundries, then most in likely you will break all yoyur barriers.
Thanks again for the wonderful motivation!
God bless,
William Veasley
