The Evolution of Blogging
Blogging is much like a microcosm of real life in so many ways. The natural progression of how the Internet and blogging are evolving reflect how things really are. In the beginning of almost anything, the individuals count the most.
Growing up in my home town, small family owned stores and restaurants were very prevalent. Then, McDonalds and Walmart opened…making it much more difficult for the individual to move ahead. In the very beginning of the web, it was similar for individuals becoming successful.
I see this type of natural evolution taking place at an incredible rate right now. Look at Google for instance. In the beginning, Google was the coolest thing around. Now that it has become so huge, the individuals, like us bloggers, have become numbers rather than people. When you work for a small business, the owners know your name. Work for a giant corporation and you are a number. The bigger you are, the less you are expected to care.
Being a blogger right now is totally different than when I started only a year ago. If you are wanting to make money, putting up a bunch of ads and hoping is not going to get you there…hahahaha!!!! Listening or following the way someone else says is NOT going to lead you to the promised land either.
The Art of Blog Sales?
Making money with a blog is based on your ability to sell…period…that’s all there is to it. The only reason the big money bloggers make big money is because they have convinced you…or sold you on the fact that they have the answers. This is the biggest lie in blogging. You just need to sell people on the idea that YOU have the answers they need to make money. In other words…you have to SELL them. You have to sell yourself…if that’s what you want. There are plenty of followers out there that will follow those on top or those who want to be!
Whatever you do in your blogging…do it honestly and know who you are…know what you want. I used to care about traffic and stats…but now, I do not care. I let go of all that. I make enough money to run this blog free.
Blogging is reaching a saturation point. With so many bloggers doing the same thing and trying to do things the same way…the common methods for doing anything are becoming more and more useless.
If you want to make money…you have to get out and SELL. I don’t read any of the big blogs anymore. I no longer need to read 500 articles on how to gain traffic. It is redundant. It’s all been written already. I feel so much better about blogging now that I don’t care about traffic.
I became a member of the upcoming money making machine uVme, perhaps you’ve heard of it. Basically, it’s on line gambling. I lost respect for uVme because they claimed that because their on line games (for winning money), are based on skill, thus is not gambling…hahaha!!!! Well…poker is based on skill, so I guess it’s not gambling either. I cannot stand a business that lies to suck people in. Especially a business that will destroy the credit of millions of people by getting them hooked on gambling. On line gaming for money is GAMBLING…no matter what they claim 
Enjoy Your Blog
I am just here to write whatever I want and have fun. It took a while but I am so much happier!!!!!!! I don’t want to sell anything. I just want to relax and enjoy. So many of you fight for traffic and check stats over and over. I haven’t even glanced at mine!!! I quit doing that. Maybe I’ll check it next year (or the year after next). If you want loads of traffic…ask yourself why.
I am just over any “How To” type of articles. Been there…read that, a million times. As many of you know…I have had some serious problems, but I feel GREAT right now. I lost sight of my original intentions and got all caught up in stats and other stupid competitive stuff. I got so pissed off about Google dropping my pagerank…that made me truly let go, for the first time.
It feels good to be free. It is my nature to be good at whatever I do. I have to learn every aspect and understand all of it from every angle and perspective. When I truly realized that pagerank made no sense and was ridiculous…I laughed. It’s not worth understanding. No matter what anyone thinks…it is just a theory. You don’t know and you cannot explain exactly how or why it works.
HAVE FUN BLOGGING!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!!!
