What kind of person are you?

Do you focus on 1 or 2 things in a single-minded kind of way and get really good at them? Or perhaps you are interested in lots of things and while you are okay at all of them, you never really get good at any single one.

I have lot of things going on

My style is to have a lot going on in my life: hobbies, friends and my Internet ventures. I know how to do a lot of stuff like making beer, long-distance backpacking, scuba-diving, running or surfing but I never really put in the time and effort required to get really good at any single one of them. Friends-I most often have a big network of friends, but it’s quite rare that I’ll have only or two best friends that I spend every waking hour with.

How does this relate to my Internet ventures?

Now we come to the part that perhaps you are most interested in, my online ventures. I’m pretty scattered all over the Internet and haven’t really put in any single-minded effort into anything. This shows in my HubPages, Email List, Ebook promotion and websites. I’d classify all of them as “okay” or “not bad” but none of them really stand out as amazing. I’ve been listening to The Smart Passive Income Podcast and The Empire Flippers Podcast and both of them talk about getting really good at something and mastering it, before moving onto the next thing. It felt like they were talking directly to me and I knew it was time for me to put the time into the various ventures I have around the web to make them “good” or “great” instead of just okay or not bad.

I’ve made a few improvements already!

In light of this, I’ve done a few things to improve the quality of what I already have on the Internet:

1. HubPages. A few of them that actually have some potential to make some money for me were unfeatured for some reason relating to their quality, such as trying to sell too many Amazon products. I’ve reduced their spammy elements and added more real content.

2. Menu and Sidebar on this site. I realized that a lot of traffic to my site was probably finding it frustrating to navigate around because I didn’t have a menu and my sidebar was not that great of a help. Check it out now! I think you’ll find it much easier to get the information you want.

3. Email List. I have finally signed up for Mail Chimp!

4. Social media accounts. I had way too much stuff going on in terms of various social media, so I’ve deleted some accounts and refocused my efforts on what I do have. I now have a single Google Plus Account, one LinkedIn Account, one Pinterest Account with various boards, 2 Facebook pages run through my personal account: How to Get a University Job in South Korea and Freedom Through Passive Income, and 3 Twitter Accounts: @freedomthroughp, @jlbinkorea, @bolen_jackie. Believe it or not, this is less than I once had!
