But one thing that I learned when I was publishing a monthly print magazine in the mid 1990s is that most people do not have the wherewithal to continue writing over extended periods of time. A very small percentage of human beings will persist enough to be a competitive threat. Besides, if you are earning that much, you have an incredible headstart over them, not to mention (probably) exponentially increasing rank and earnings. @Terry: You’re right about the competition.

Ok, so to get the blog to take over the domain...do you transfer everything out of the Wordpress folder and put it directly into your root folder? Will the index.php automatically become the home page by default or do I need to get rid of the index.html page? Sorry for all the questions...I should be good after this! Thanks TZ. I see!!

I let the Wordpress blog rule the index with it's index.php file. BUT....I make some obvious links to old static page from the blogs blogroll, or from pages on the blog, or from a header menu.....whatever. Works well. I don't intend on ever killing the old static page either. Just provide visitors (and search engines) links from your blog to your old pages, directories, etc. Easy squeezy.

Most of my static sites have a Wordpress blog attached to them...but aren't really active. Now if I was to make the transition from Static to Wordpress...would it be wise of me to keep the static site up, work on the wordpress blog that's attached until it's complete and THEN replace the static site with the Wordpress? Because as it currently stands, I have my www.staticsite.com/wordpress. Now when I'm ready for my blog to take over...do you just transfer everything that's in your wordpress folder into you root? And that's it? www.staticsite.com becomes your blog? I hope this all makes sense to you. I'm just not sure how to make the switch. Thanks TZ! Hey Terry, I have a question.

As always, you have fantabulous advice and admire the fact that you are able to work at this all day. I am one of many whom you've helped and have not been discouraged yet. Why? Because long along you made it clear to me that this wasn't going to be easy, it isn't a quick rich scheme and that it would take tons of patience and dedication. Even though i'm profiting $900 U.S. a month now on static sites...it's time to change, adapt SE changes and to follow your lead. Thanks again for the wise words! Great conversation yesterday Z!
