Nothing Is Impossible For The Bad Blogger Who Refuse To Listen To Reasons !
Dear Friend & Subscriber,
There’s no excuse for the delay, but I would like to offer public and belated thanks to Robert Barry from successaffiliatemarketing.com, Stuart Goddard from stugods3dblog.blogspot.com, Justin Germino from dragonblogger.com, James Pruitt from imrelations.com, Jake from this world, Nishadha Lakpriya Silva from rumblinglankan.com, Shiva Chettri from netchunks.com, Tia Peterson from bizchickblogs.com and Melvin from melvinblog.com for giving me advice for a difficult choice I have to make that could…
Change The Course Of
This Particulate Blog !
Well… you may or may not know, I love to hear advice from other people, it doesn’t matter whether is good or bad because it keeps me on the edge. Sometime it makes me motivated and sometime it inspire me to move forward in life. And after hearing all the advice they had given me, I finally came out my final decision. But before I tell you what it is, I would like to give you some…
Side Dishes Of Tips
I Learn From Those Advice
Given By Some Concern Blogger !
First, I’m not going to address all of those concern blogger, I will only address some of them. So let’s talk about the comment make by Robert Barry from successaffiliatemarketing.com. He said in his comment that having two topic that are not related will confuse readers and also search engines. Look, first off, I doesn’t know if it will confuse search engine, but I totally agree…
It Will Definitely
Confuse Some Readers But Not All !
And guess what? Here’s something I learn a long time ago which actually do have the same meaning to what Robert had told me and that is…
A Confuse Customers
Never Buy !
Well… how stupid I am to never realize this important marketing element… Hmm… am I getting old? I guess not, is just that sometime I needed some flash back memory to remind me of those…
Important Stuff
That I Have Learn
A Long Time Ago !
Okay, let’s press on to Stuart Goddard from stugods3dblog.blogspot.com. Actually I doesn’t really know what he is trying to tell me in the first place. I guess he is telling me to use online marketing strategies and tactics to sell sexual related stuff online, but I think selling is not the main issue here. Anyway here’s something you did like to know and that is…
When You Want To Tell Something,
Tell It Clearly !
Well… I bet you know, misunderstanding always lead to social conflicts and it is how serious it goes that determine the outcome. Sometime I do misunderstand people but I always try to keep it low before the opposite being…
Blast The Hell Out Of Me !
In any case, let’s just move on to the next side dish of tips which come from Justin Germino from dragonblogger.com. Well… I like what he said about in the last sentence, he said, “just because you want to write more about another subject doesn’t mean it will bring in the traffic.” And I have to give…
100 % Support
To This Sentence !
Look: In life, no matter who you are, where you are and what you are… be it famous or infamous, rich or poor, handsome or ugly, smart or stupid…. there is one thing that’s just so true, I almost cannot not to say it and that is…
There Is No Guarantee
In Life !
And when it comes to getting traffic to your blog, writing more doesn’t guarantee you get more and writing less doesn’t guarantee you get less. So it’s better to know what you are doing that’s worth doing then…
Dreaming About Something
That’s Not Worth Doing !
I hope you understand what I’m saying, because it’s just so God damn important. Okay, let’s press on to James Pruitt from imrelations.com. First of all, I have to say, I disagree to what he said about me. Here’s what he said…
I see a bunch of self gratification here, no offense but don’t get big headed here. I have seen too many people have a little success, and think they are now a superstar. you will drive away your customers this way.
Well, I disagree because for what I know, when I went through courses such as Frank Kern’s Mass Control 2.0, and other millionaire masters of all time, for example Jay Abraham, Gary Halbert, John Carlton and many more, they always said the same thing again and again which is…
You Need A Character That’s Confident,
And It Doesn’t Matter If You Have A Little Success,
What Does Matter Is You Need To Tell Your Audience,
So That “You” At Least Stand An Authority In Your Crowd !
And here’s something I learn from those marketing wizard of millionaire: They don’t advice other people not to be “big headed” or not to be “superstar.” (I never do) I mean did you ever heard Frank said, “Hey dude, don’t think you have a big list of subscribers you are a superstar, I have a smaller list and I could rack in more Fungoles then you do.” Well, guess what will happen if he said that on his blog? Here’s what will happen…
He Will Drive Away
Tons Of Customers And Prospects !
Look, “self gratification,” big headed” or even “selfish” is sometime not a bad marketing concept. It just something most people just couldn’t face it such as seeing someone who had a little success and being a show off, well… I like to show off how good I am, but in times I still need advice from people like you, So with no offense against James, I personally feel you should not bring down anyone’s little success by telling others not to be big headed, where else on the opposite side, I feel you should congrats and tell others…
To Do Better And
Aim For Bigger Success !
I do hope you understand. Okay, now let’s move on to Nishadha Lakpriya Silva from rumblinglankan.com. First off, his an old online friend of mine, his been following my blog for a long time, so I have to say thanks to him again for helping me out when I have difficulties. From his comment, I had learn something new which is…
Focusing On Too Many Topics
Generally Will Make
Repeat Visitor Count Goes Down !
He said “repeat visitor” not “visitor.” So it’s important to know what he actually means and believe it or not, I’m having that problem sometime and why in the world I did not realize it? That’s shame on me. And because of that, I now become more understood as why separating my sexual content with my marketing content is something I had to consider, even if it’s a pain to separate them. I mean it’s…
“Work” Separating Them !
Okay, I’m actually getting tired with my hands writing this post, but don’t worry I’m still strong enough to give you more side dishes of tips to fill your greedy little stomach. Now on to Shiva Chettri from netchunks.com. Although I did not agree with him saying sex and money can only be together in the real world, but he had a point I do agree and that is…
Both Niches
Are Not Related In Any Sort Whatsoever !
But again, even if you are not building a business in the real world, you still sell to the real world, and because of that, I feel is not much of a concern after all. Okay, now to Tia Peterson from bizchickblogs.com. Well, her ideal she wrote in the comment is really good, but as I said…
I’m Really Not Prepared
To Teach People
How To Market Sex Stuff Yet !
So, I have to hold on with her ideal first. And finally my another old friend Melvin from melvinblog.com. What he said in the comment really is what I want but of course, I still need to considered. You see…
It’s Hard To Blaze
A New Trail
When The Road Had Already Paved !
Although it’s doable, it’s actually not easy. Anyway, I just want you to know before I wrote this post, I have already made my mind. I really think quite a lot this few days while reading those advice. And once again I did like to thanks those concern blogger that give me so much advice about my situation and here’s what I had decided to do…
I Had Decided To Keep On Doing
What I Love And Stop Worrying About Pleasing The Dogs
And Start Concentrating On Selling The Foxes !
So be it. I’m really a bad blogger anyway, so I really feel I should be as bad as I am, since I have already build this character to the point that most of my reader already knew, since some of them actually email me that I should kept going on as what it was and with that said, I’m ready and prepared to…
Take Up The Challenge Of Creating A New Brand
That’s Not Been Done In The Blogging Sphere !
I have almost done it last year, and I bet I can finished it by this year which is to rank inside 50k in Alexa. Can it be done? I’m not sure, but for one thing I’m damn sure is…
I Believe It And I Trust Myself !
Stay Frosty,
The Bad Blogger

P.S. Okay, I would like to know, do you think having a little success and showing off is good or bad, and if possible tell me the reason about it.

Well it could work an it might not work but as you said you are trying to be different and unique and that might just clinch it for you. I heard there are ways to make different feeds for your categories so maybe that is something you can try out. Thanks for the link too
Nishadha´s last blog ..FOREX trading in Sri Lanka – how to start trading and free FOREX resources
Oh… I really didn’t know there is ways to make different feeds for categories, I will go search for it, thanks again for the tips. Most probably if I did find out how to do it, I bet it will benefit me readers.
I am glad you made your decision. There were valid arguments on both sides. In the end, it is your brand.
Though I am a newcomer to this venture, as long as your products are related to that specific blog topic, people will “buy” products/services.
By the way, “sex” is always applies universally and each one has some connections to it. Of course, on surface people like to be “puritans”.
By the way, I have learned quite a lot from your blogs.
Thanks and keep the spirit up.
Prakash
Prakash Kunjeer´s last blog ..STOP SNORING NATURALLY
Thanks for reading my stuff, and as you say there is always a connection between sex, well I believe is how you plan and arrange so that is well put out to the audience that really counts. Anyway, thanks again and hope to see you around.
First, I want to thank you for the mention and the link…very much appreciated.
In answer to your question about showing off, I don’t think it’s a bad thing if it’s done properly. There is nothing wrong with telling people about your accomplishments, awards, reaching goals, etc. As long as you don’t rub people’s nose in it, it’s very acceptable. If you come off as being confident or an authority, rather than a show off, I feel that is a much better way to go and people will accept that more.
I wish you much continued success with all your future endeavors.
Robert´s last blog ..Monetize Your Blog With Affiliate Marketing Programs
I totally agree, I think I never rub anyone off, and I feel personally it’s fine for me to show off a little sometime, I mean it feels great even if it’s a success.
Hey, bad blogger, i dont think you understood My statement, and perhaps it is my fault for as you say for not speaking clearly.
i am not saying to drag yourself down, and I don’t mean to belittle you. let me explain my opinion. this is all from my own experience, and everyone is open to disagree. This is not directly aimed at anything you have done, either. I am simply trying to clarify my point of view.
Part of why so many people fail is because the gurus have taught them all that they need to do is read one or two ebooks and they are an expert in the niche.
now , some people call this good marketing, I don’t. Personally I believe that you cannot build long term trust or relationships by lying to people.
I see people every day claiming to be experts at this or that, who have not even researched it well. Especially in the IM niche. They may read one or two books, and because they have been told to do this by the likes of Frank Kern, they believe they are an expert.
I respect Frank Kern and he teaches some good stuff, but I think he is a perfect example of what I am saying here:
When YOU become more important than your product or your customers you have FAILED no matter how many followers you have, or how much cash is in the bank.
You have succeeded at making money, but money isn’t everything. You have failed at being a decent human being, which to me is more important.
(Again this is not meant to be directed at you personally, just what I see every day in this niche)
Part of the problem is symantics as well. How do you define Authority and EXpert? Many people mistakenly think that they are the same. I actually spent a year researching the topic extensively, and wrote an ebook about it, which I use as a bonus with some of the products I promote.
I consider an expert someone who thoroughly knows a topic and can answer just about any question. They have studied it extensively and have a huge volume of Personal experience to back it up.
An authority is someone who knows more than the average user, and knows who the experts are. They have studied the topic, and may have some experience, but not enough to know every inside out detail. This is how you should position yourself as an affiliate. Unforunately I see many who claim to be an expert, when they have never done anything that they claim in their websites.
I wouldn’t get someone who read an ebook to give me brain surgery. although I may trust their recommendation of who to turn to if i needed one.
Let’s take a look at an offline example,( who actually uses tv to market an hugely succesful authority affiliate website)
Rachael Ray is widely known (at least in the US) as an expert on creating quick meals. Her 30 minute meals is still one of the most popular TV shows on the Food Network.
However, through her daytime talk show, she has also become an authority on many other topics, including weightloss, dating advice, and self help.
She never makes any claims to being an expert, but she interviews them and promotes their stuff via her website, which offers a lot of free stuff and is also full of affiliate offers for the products they talk about on her show.
With my blog, I never claim to be an expert, even when others say that I am. I do consider myself an authority at making money online. I run several successful sites in various niche markets outside of IM, but my blog is all about my personal experiences, the journey that I have made, and observations like this about what I see in the IM community.
I do recommend products that I use myself, and promote my own services that I run to help marketers along the way. With very little promotion of the blog, ( you may find 3-4 of the 100+ pages ranking in google) I have built up a following of people by helping in IM forums, and especially focusing on helping people in private forums for IM related products that I have purchased.
I don’t have an email list in the niche(although I am working to change that now), and it is the worst site in my opinion of all the dozen sites I own, yet it was the first one making consistent money, and still is responsible for about 40% of my affiliate earning (not to mention what my services bring in).
you have to establish your authority, and that is ok.
The surgeon would be an expert, however the person who read the ebook and recommended the surgeon would be an authority.
You see, you have to have authority in order to be an expert, but you don’t have to be an expert to be an authority. They are different.
What it all comes down to though is do what feels right to you. If it works, and you can sleep at night, then go for it. I personally prefer to build real relationships with people.I build relationships with my blog readers, clients, and email lists in my niche markets. I spend time helping them to succeed with their immediate problems for free, and take time to do some one on one coaching if it is needed.
It all depends on your focus. Many marketers only focus on the money, and that’s ok if they can sleep at night.
Personally, i can’t do that and feel good about myself. I also found that by taking the time to build those relationships in a real and meaningful way (unlike the fake relationships taught when I bought Mass Control), My sales and income went up. it is about balancing basic human dignity and respect for your customers with running an effective business, and knowing the value of what you do.
Some people go too far in focusing on the money, and trying to get every dime out of people that they can. Others spend so much time helping people for free that they never make any money ( I fell into that trap myself). What it takes is balancing the two.
Anyway, you have some great stuff here, and you are doing a good job. I don’t want you to think that I was trying to attack you personally. I like your blog, and will be coming back in the future.
James Pruitt´s last blog ..Don’t Get Overwhelmed with New Website Promotion
Wow… that’s a long comment… well… may be I’m not sure what you are trying to explain in the first place, but I think every single dude out there had their own personal experience, which is to say, you have your own too.
As you had said…”(unlike the fake relationships taught when I bought Mass Control).” That’s what you think about this product, but not everyone agree with that. You may be trying to help people in a way, but you must also understand not everyone is up to your experience, I mean not everyone is born equal.
I don’t expect people to follow me, but I at least respect people to understand me as a human being. And I do not teach people what to do as an expert or authority but I do teach people to “THINK” as an expert or authority.
You doesn’t had to be anything to be something, you just need one thing to be almost everything. Oh… and thanks for reading my stuff, talk to you soon.
