Should we share everything?
March 9, 2008 – 7:46 pmAnother day I came across a article from ReadWriteWeb called “What Stanford Learned Building Facebook Apps” and it really got me thinking. Ok, I know they were talking about Facebook applications but I can’t help to wonder if the results are valid for regular websites as well.
What do you think?
From the 10 tips they shared at the Graphing Social Patterns conference I’ve selected the ones I think are really good Tips for websites in general as well:
It’s never too late to create a winning website
This one I think everyone will agree with me. It is never too late if you are good in what you do, or better, if you like what you are doing because that is exactly what you need to become good or even the best on your niche.
Simplicity & clarity are key to success
If everyone can understand you easily your product or idea will have higher chances to be successful.
Community cooperation leads to success (in other words, the most successful students shared the most)
This is very important, it’s the key in my opinion. Unfortunatelly we don’t see much of it happening and I would like to prove my point. A few days ago I saw a storm of posts with february income reports. John Chow claimed $29,643.01, Zach Johnson with $3,261.98, Life is Colorful $2908, Tyler Cruz $1,548.75 and GoogleLady $6738.92.
From all those and some others the only one that I could really say that is truly sharing is GoogleLady, she is concerned with how to do it while the others seem to want to show only where and how much. I admit that it is inspiring to see that John Chow got almost $30K last month but if he can’t tell how he does it I don’t see what is the point.
Copying success is a cheap / fast way to succeed.
This is universal truth. Doesn’t mater in which sector you work, doesn’t mater if you are online or not. Benchmarking is a cheap way to success.
Should we share everything?
What I can say is that this blog product is knowledge and I want to hand you guys the full package, even better, I want to construct it together with you. We will test, review, post results and try to find the best ways into website monetization.
Will you help me?

Hey thanks for mentioning my blog, I appreciate. We certainly would like to reveal the path to this success. It’s not that difficult, but yes it’s important to share it quickly along with monthly earnings post. You can expect similar in next monthly earning post.
