Who says blogging has to be boring? I am sure you realize that not everything is about making PPC ads, link building or on page SEO. For marketing to be effective, it has to be entertaining and as a blogger, if you’re not having fun with your work, you can be sure your audience is going to be…

Bored Out of
Their Minds !

With that said, here’s 7 more utterly stupid but remarkably effective and extremely fun ways to promote your blog.

1. Make a Silly Song and Post it On YouTube

I love Fiverr.com. It’s an incredibly useful site where people do the craziest stuff for you for five bucks. You can have someone actually jump off a plane and shout out your blog name or message as they’re diving.

Incredible Stuff !

Now, what I’ve found is, you can find people who will write you a song and even sing it for you in a video or an audio file. It’s fun stuff. Now, the one thing I’d recommend for you to do is go ahead and tell the the person who’s going to be doing it for you, that you’ll pay him a little extra if…

The Song is
Really Good !

When you do that, he’ll put in the extra effort to make sure your song is share worthy which will obviously cause your content to go viral, and if you think about it, even if you end up spending $20 on it instead of $5…

It’s Still a
Complete Steal !

It doesn’t take much for a song like that to go viral, as you’ll find out if you try this tip out.

2. Create Sexy Pocket Calendars and Hand Them Out

They really don’t have to be anything fancy. A small one page, pocket size calendar will be just fine. Make sure that when you design it, you put something eye catching on it and slap your URL all over the place. Now, for this to work, your URL needs to be catchy and easily memorable, but…

I’m Sure
You Already
Realize that !

3. Make Funny or Outrageous Videos

Again, it really doesn’t need to be anything too complicated. One of the most viral videos I’ve seen was a short clip of two little boys talking back and forth using baby language. Funny as heck, probably recorded on the fly and insanely viral. I’ve actually had multiple people send me that video…

Over a Very Short
Period of Time !

The one thing to keep in mind is that for your video to work, you actually need to feel comfortable in front of the camera. You see, if your viewers sense you’re weirded out and just pretending to have fun, you’re going to lose them very quickly. They’ll actually feel sorry for you instead of thinking…

You’re Funny !

Again, anything goes. As long as it’s not ridiculously gross or terribly off putting and you’re having fun doing it, your viewers will be just fine. A tip that Frank Kern gave for getting comfortable in front of the camera is pretending that it’s your best friend. Just imagine you’re talking to a great buddy of yours, and you’ll stop being camera-phobic (if that’s even a word)…

Almost Right Away !

4. Sending a Message to a Bunch of People

For some reason bloggers don’t like to email their friends and family members about their blog. They kind of tend to think their blog is for their traffic and they don’t share it with the real world, because they feel a bit strange about it. The point is, though, if you put something funny on your blog and you know your family or friends are going to like, they’ll send it to their friends…

Who’ll Eventually
Send it to Their Friends,
etc !

Before you know, you will have that huge group of people talking about your content.

Awesome Stuff !

5. Sending Someone an SMS

Most people have internet access on their phones. They use them to check their email, the weather, the stock market, their class schedule, to shop you name it. One of the things people like to do is text each other and send emails. It’s kind of funny that whenever a person gets on a train or a bus, they tend to instantly…

Take Their Phones Out and
Text Away !

Well, if you feel like promoting your blog, next time you want to send an SMS, apart from telling the person you’re writing what you actually want to say to them, go ahead and mention your blog. It’s as easy as saying oh, and BTW, check out my blog: http://www.thebadblogger.com/ (you need to make sure that you include a complete link in the text message, so that all they have to do to get to your site is click it)

Makes Sense ?

6. Creating an iPhone App

iPhone Apps are huge now. A good number of top marketers talk about them all the time. Did you know that you can have a simple app made for as little as a couple hundred bucks? It really is nothing when you consider the potential it has for your blog. Just make sure that every time people download and open it, there’s a splash page that invites them to check out your blog. This is an extremely powerful strategy that will work really well if you use it.

Give it a Shot !

7. Having a Sexy Babe Put Your URL On Her Cleavage

Do you remember how I told you about Fiverr.com at the beginning of this post? Well, another thing I like to use that site for is getting sexy girls to put my URL on their chests. It’s really easy for them to do and there’s a ton of great looking women willing to…

Write Something
On Their Body for
5 Bucks !

What they’ll normally do is take a marker and put your URL on their cleavage. Then they’ll take a picture of it and send it your way. What do you think is going to happen if you snail mail or even email that picture to your friends? Exactly!

They’re Going to
Go Check Out
Your Blog !

Alright, this is it. Before we part, though, I need to remind you that nothing happens until you take action, so go ahead and put what I told you to use. You’ll be more than happy you did.

Stay Stupid But Smart,

Have you ever been browsing the Internet and laughed out loud so abruptly that the people in your house/apartment thought you were crazy? I’ve done it many times, often reading sites like Damn You Autocorrect, however, there are some times when I’m just browsing Google looking for information that I can’t help but to lose it, and it happens when discovering URL’s like these. Go through this list of hilarious URL’s with me and…

Try Not to Laugh -
I Dare You !

1. http://www.wtf.org – WTF

Yeah, yeah… wtf is fairly common lingo, but a .org? For real? Who can take Taekwondo seriously after visiting this domain?

2. http://www.goredforwomen.org – Gored For Women

At first I couldn’t tell if this was going to be something disgusting or a porn site, but then I realized that it wasn’t Gored for Women, but Go Red for Women… apparently they didn’t test the domain before…

They Bought it !

3. http://mp3shits.com – Mp3 Shits

I’m trying to picture little mp3’s dropping rabbit turds everywhere they go, but I don’t get very far, because I really don’t know what an MP3 shit looks like. Oh, it’s supposed to be Mp3’s hits? Clever, but…

Not So Much !

4. http://www.penisland.net/ – Penis Land

Hahahaha…that’s all I have to say. Really, did they not think about this one before they bought it? Pen Island needs to run, not walk, to…

A New
Domain Name !

5. http://www.powergenitalia.com – Power Genitalia

Now this sounds like an interesting concept…cyborg genitalia perhaps? Are we talking electrical or battery operated? I wonder how long it takes to…

Charge These
Bad Boys !

6. http://www.blindsexpress.com/ – Blind Sex Press

Unreal…really, that you’d try to sell sex presses for blind people when clearly they aren’t able to see them on the screen. However, it does sound rather kinky, maybe I’ll buy two. Oh, you mean they sell blinds? Those aren’t so kinky…well…unless…

You Leave Them Open !

7. http://www.speedofart.com/ – Speedo Fart

What does a Speedo fart smell like do you think? Chlorine and spandex? I’m not sure, but then again, it’s never been a hobby of mine. I guess…

There’s a Fetish for Everyone,
Right ?

Ok, so tell me… honestly… how many of these made you laugh? How incredulous do these people have to be in order to continue to use these domains?

Stay Funny,

P.S. Just to let you know, I might not be posting for the next few days as it is Chinese New Year, I’ll be quite busy but I’ll resume posting on either 27th or 28th of this month, but again, if I had the time I’ll do my best to write an awesome post to squeeze in this few days, hope you can understand and stay as my readers for as long as this blog lives.

I don’t know about you, but I was totally freaked out on the first day at my first job. It was a call center, and I really didn’t know what I was doing. I remember thinking, if I were the guys that hired me…

I’d Fire Myself
Right Away !

Talk about lack of confidence, at the same time, it was kind of exciting, though. New people, new responsibilities and a nice wad of cash in my wallet at the beginning of every month. Kind of scary but…

Exciting
At the Same Time !

Now, oddly enough, those are the exact same feelings you get right before and maybe even during the first kiss. Kind of scary but…

Exciting
At the Same Time !

Everyone remembers their first kiss. It’s an incredible feeling full of passion, curiosity and maybe even fear. It’s funny that your first kiss feels kind of like your first job, but, if you think about it, there are many things in life which seem to be completely unrelated but at the same time very similar in…

How We
Perceive Them !

Take money and sex for example. On the surface those two are not related, but if you look deeper, you’ll notice in some aspects, one is just like the other.

How ?

1. Because Everybody Does it

No matter what they say, every one wants to have awesome sex, just like everyone wants a bunch of money. Of course you might find people who’ll say they don’t care much about sex or money, but I have a feeling it’s because…

They’ve Never Had
Much of Either !

They don’t know what a great deal of money can do to a person’s life just like they don’t know how great sex feels, so…

They Say
They Don’t Care !

Another thing is, both sex and money are connected to one of our strongest, most basic needs. The need for survival. We need money to survive, just like…

We Need Sex
to Survive as Well !

2. Because Few People Talks About it

People who have money don’t really like to talk about it, just like people don’t really talk about their sexual encounters very much. They might share a little bit with their good friends or if they get drunk, but for the most part…

They’ll Just
Stay Quiet
About it !

3. Because Some People are Better at it than Others

Talk to any person who’s sexually active and has multiple partners and they’ll tell you, they had great lovers, they had good lovers, they had mediocre lovers, they had bad lovers and they had…

Terrible Lovers !

They’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum. Why? Because not everyone is a sex guru. Some people are better at it than others. Obviously, the situation is very similar with money. You have people who easily make millions of dollars a year and pretty much everything they touch turns to gold, and you have people who try really hard to be good at business but…

They Can Barely
Make Ends Meet !

Both, sex and money, require a certain amount of talent. I mean, you can spend hours learning about them and you might get pretty good at them, but if you don’t have it…

You’ll Never
Going to Excel it !

4. Because It Feels Better Without Protection

This is kind of self explanatory, isn’t it? People who don’t want to complicate their lives too much use protection for sex. They put a rubber on and…

Go for it !

The thing is, although not many people like to talk about it, as previously mentioned, they all know that sex without protection feels awesome, and sex with a protection feels… …well… …good and…

It’s The Same
With Money !

Life’s still O.K. if you have to budget your finances, but spending cash feels a ton better if you don’t. Of course, protecting yourself against an unwanted pregnancy or bankruptcy is the smart thing to do, but…

It Doesn’t
Feel that Awesome !

Anyway, you get my point, don’t you?

5. Because It’s Complicated

Sex is complicated. I mean, it’s not like you can just walk into a bar, point at a girl, do your dance and have her jump in to bed with you. Even if she does, it’s not like just because she did it, she enjoyed herself. It takes work, effort, practice and a plan to…

Make Everything
Go Smoothly !

Similarly, everyone who’s ever managed substantial amounts of money will tell you that money is very complicated. People look at you differently if you have money. They have different expectations towards you. They consider you to be more capable and able than the average Joe, so if you have money…

You Will Be Pressured Socially
to Use it in the Right Way !

Just look at Bill Gates and his famous law suits related to monopolizing his market and you’ll know exactly what I am talking about. Eh…

It’s Complicated !

6. Because If You Work at it, You’ll Become Good at it

You might not be born rich or even very talented when it comes to handling money, but it is possible to learn it, at least to some extend. You can have trainers teaching you how to make, invest, spend and manage money just like you can have sex therapists…

Working in Your
Sex Life !

Both of those things seem to be a complete mystery to someone who hasn’t had much experience with them, but they can be taught and…

Learnt Effectively!

7. Because Once You Have Some You Can’t Have Enough

It’s common knowledge about both sex and money that you can live without them if you never had them, but once you have some …

You’ll Want More !

That’s why it’s extremely difficult to refrain from sex once you’ve had an active sex life, just like it is very hard for someone who was once rich to worry about money. Money is like sex and sex is like money in more aspects than we care to admit. I am sure those of you who enjoy both will agree with me, and those who don’t…well…

Who Cares ?

Stay Active,

You know…you really have to hand it to spammers. They are the most persistent, dogged entrepreneurs I’ve ever seen, and trying to defeat them is akin to being…

A Spartan Poised to
Battle the Persian Army !

While in the past I used to get frustrated, pissed off even, recently I’ve implemented a different tactic, which is to simply laugh at the extent to which they are willing to make themselves…

Look Stupid !

In doing this, I’ve learned that there are some spammers that are just too funny to be true, and that watching them work makes for great comic relief throughout the day. Here are 6 of my favorite spammer comments.

Read Them and
You’ll See Exactly
What I Mean !

I hate to be an ass, but clearly you’re blind, because the RSS button is right in front of your face! First of all, most browsers have RSS buttons built in, but even then, most bloggers have at least one way to subscribe.

Does Anyone
Really Fall for This ?

There’s only one thing that goes on top here, and that’s the ladies! All kidding aside, this comment sounds innocent enough at first, until you realize that the link URL comes from

www.iamadumbass.com !

Hahaha, there’s nothing like being called out by some random audience member with what must be uber design skills. Look, I’m not saying my blog is the best designed blog on the planet, but it’s not bad. Clearly this commenter…

Doesn’t Understand
HIS Audience !

Wait, what? You’re so interested in the topic that you’ve been thinking about it a short time and not a long time? You almost had me, but failure to use proper English is going to be…

The Downfall of
This Spammer !

I can’t tell if this one is a Katie Couric wannabe, or a spammer with chocolate chips on the brain, but regardless, this is a horrible comment. Not only is this narrative impossible to decipher, but also useless. Why on Earth would anyone approve this comment unless they were hoping to get…

A Laugh Out of Their
Regular Crowd ?

I once spit out my coffee while reading one of these comments. Not because of the insincerity, but because of the way the commenter made reblogging sound like a surgical procedure. Can you implement it? I’m not sure, that sounds like…

A Medical
Problem !

So those are my top 6 funniest spam comments, what are yours? Let’s share the good ones in the comments below.

Stay Spam Free,

The Bad blogger

Also Known As “The Anti-Spam Blogger”

One of the funny things I find about bloggers and Internet Marketers is that they get so used to being on the Internet that they forget…

A Real World
Exists Outside of
Their Computer Screen !

It’s easy to get sucked into the web, but it’s important to maintain perspective on your life and career, which is why I find that getting away from the computer is just as necessary as working on it. Here are seven ways to help you do that:

1. Go to Workshop or Seminar to Learn Rather then Learning Online

There are only so many blog posts you can read, especially when many of them are just different versions of the same message. And while reading is great, there’s only so much you can learn from a personal anecdote. Instead, try attending conferences and meeting the people behind the blog posts, where you’ll be able to get a behind the scenes glance at…

What Makes Them
Tick !

2. Go to Bookstores to Find Books in Your Niche to Read Rather then Reading PDF

Ebooks are great, but there’s also a lot of education to be had in bookstores and libraries. Don’t limit your education to books about blogging and Internet marketing either. Try consuming books on marketing, copywriting, branding, sales, design, engineering, and anything else you can get your hands on. In other words…

Expose Yourself to
New Things !

3. Go Meet Up With Your Online Friends and Switch Ideas Offline Rather Online

This is a great switcheroo, and really helps break those patterns of being stuck at the computer all day. Try to see a new online friend each month, and talk about how you can take your strategies offline, instead of online. This will force you to expand your mind and…

Think Outside
the Box !

4. Go to Fast Food Center to Write Your Blog Post Rather then Staying at Home to Write

There’s something interesting that happens when a writer visits the people he’s writing for, and blends in with the general public. You not only get perspective, but it’s a nice way to break writing habits too.

Don’t Ever
Let Your Writing
Get Stale !

5. Go Watch Movies in a Theaters Rather then Watching Them Online

There’s no movie watching experience that can compare to seeing something in a theater, especially in 3D and surround sound. This sort of immersive experience is the kind that really shakes you at the core, which in turn will make you…

A Better Blogger !

6. Go Spend Money Offline Rather then Spending Online

Mix with the people! Go to a mall, and just stroll around. Stop in a shop and pick up some basics, like socks and underwear, whatever. The point is just to get out, and get your mind…

Off the Internet Thoughts !

7. Go to Sex Shop and Buy Some Porn Videos Rather then Watching Them Online

Now this is one only for the brave, but it will certainly get you out of your comfort zone if you take me up on the challenge. This one needs no further description, but I dare you to share your experience…

In the Comments Below !

Stay Expose,

The Bad Blogger

Also Known As “The Exposed Blogger”

There are only 24 hours in a day, 16 of which we’re usually awake for, and around 6-8 of which we’re actually productive, which means that on any given week…

You’ve Got Only
40-50 Hours of Time
to Get Things Done !

Sadly, many of us waste much of this time doing things like surfing the net, tweeting, checking Facebook, and procrastinating, which explains why so many businesses fail. Simply put…

We Don’t Take
Our Productivity
Seriously Enough !

But I’m going to change that. I’m going to flip the tables and help you start getting more done, ‘lifehacking,’ if you will. I’ve created a quick guide to help you get more done by doing less. Tackle just a few, and you’ll be well on your way to…

A Very Productive
2012 !

1. Stop Saying “Yes” and Start Saying “No”

It’s hard to turn people down. It’s hard to turn opportunity down. It’s hard to stare someone in the face and say no, but you have to. Only say yes to the things you’re excited about and say no to everything else. This frees you up to focus on…

Creating
Better Results !

2. Know When Your Schedule is Full

Even when you get good at saying no, you’ll find yourself overbooked on many occasions. The key to fixing this is not saying “no” more often, but in getting better at time management. Learn to give yourself a buffer on all tasks, and try to avoid promising…

Instant Deliverable
If at all Possible !

3. Get Better at Prioritizing

Have you ever noticed that some tasks never get done because they are always put off until tomorrow or next week? Just because a task is easy doesn’t mean you should get it done first. Don’t avoid the tough tasks – learn to prioritize based on what gets you paid, not on…

What’s Easiest
to Check Off !

4. Simplify

Learn when to stop working on something and call it complete. This is a skill that takes a lot of practice, especially if you are a perfectionist. Also, work on clearing clutter and distraction out of your work environment. Close your browser, turn of Skype, and…

Focus On
the Task at Hand !

Of course, when you do this, you’ll face what Seth Godin calls “The Resistance,” which is a form of procrastination that will have you searching for new distractions to keep you from doing your work. Don’t cave in and eventually…

The Pain
Will Subside !

Master these four skills and I guarantee that you’ll be twice as productive, and twice as energized throughout your working day. Trying to work through clutter, distraction, and stress is like trying to ride a bike through mud…you may get to the destination, but…

You’ll Be Slow and
Worn Out
By the Time You Do !

Which of these four areas do you struggle with most? Let’s chat below.
