Happy and Blue 2

Do you want your blog to be popular? Do you want it to be so popular that people quit calling it a blog and start referring to it as a site? Do you lack the knowledge to make it popular?

Well, if you do want to be popular then fear not. I will explain exactly what you need to do to reach that goal.

There are a lot of “buzzwords” out there made up by people who are trying to steer you in the wrong direction to get more traffic to your site. Seriously “buzzwords” sounds like something that a bee would come up with. And what do bees know? Nothin honey..

Here is the foolproof way to get lots of comments.

Create a chain post system.

“Whaaaaat???” you ask..

A chain post is exactly like a chain letter. You remember those don’t you?
Someone sends you a letter (using email) and says that you will be lucky if you forward the email to 10 of your gullible friends.

And if you don’t forward the email then you will break the chain and you will rip the crotch out of your pants while you are giving a presentation to the board of directors or something. And everyone will laugh at you. And your new name with the organization will be Mr.( or Mrs, Miss,Ms., et.al) LOSER..

“So what does that have to do with my blog posts?” you ask.

Well, everything of course.

Create a chain post. Include a note at the bottom that says:

If you get 10 of your gullible friends to comment on this post you will be lucky.

And if you don’t get 10 of your friends to comment on this post then you will break the chain and you will rip the crotch out of your pants while you are giving a presentation to the board of directors or something. And everyone will laugh at you. And your new name with the organization will be Mr.( or Mrs, Miss,Ms., et.al) LOSER..

Simple isn’t it.

What are your thoughts?

ps: If you get 10 of your gullible friends to comment on this post you will be lucky.

And if you don’t get 10 of your friends to comment on this post then you will break the chain and you will rip the crotch out of your pants while you are giving a presentation to the board of directors or something. And everyone will laugh at you. And your new name with the organization will be Mr.( or Mrs, Miss,Ms., et.al) LOSER..

I’m not an expert on business. Or marketing a business. Or on producing videos.
My thoughts in the video are just my thoughts on the subject of marketing.

With the exception of Jordan Cooper’s Not a Pro Blog all the links point to posts about the future of blogs as business tools.
Jordan’s link is just to his site. Most of his posts are about the oddities in business blogging.

If you are like me then just sit back and observe as blogging evolves.
If you are just trying to make enough money to buy some coffee/ beer then keep doing what you are doing.
And if you are trying to become rich blogging then…well, unless you make some drastic changes it just isn’t going to happen.

So, do you think business blogging is evolving into a new model?

“The sky is falling” said Chicken Lanna. And then she laughed. As did all the other chickens in the farmyard. It’s an old chicken joke. But in the world of chickens it’s still a good joke.

“Hey look” she continued. “There’s that farmers wife.”

“She’s sure getting fat” said Lanna’s friend Nora.
“I bet she’ll be on the menu for Easter.”

“Cluuuuck….” said Lanna. “I think she’s going to lay an egg”
I’m assuming that “Cluuuuck” is the chicken equivalent of “Duh” but since I don’t speak Chicken I may be wrong.

“Ha, replied Nora. “Human women think that having an egg is so hard.”
“Try having one every day Cluck Cluck.” Nora clucked to the farmers wife.
And I’m not even going to try to guess what “Cluck Cluck” means in Chicken. I’ll just say that she said it with a nasty tone in her voice.

“I wonder where her nest is?” said Lanna. “It must be huge so it shouldn’t be hard to spot.”

“Cluuuuck…” relied Nora. “In the human coop”

“Do you think the farmer will eat it or will let her hatch it?” continued Lanna, somewhat oblivious to Nora’s “Cluuuuck” remark.
Chickens don’t have big ears so she may not have heard it. Not like elephants. They hear everything with their gigantic ears. Just in case you didn’t know that.

“I don’t think the farmer will eat it” replied Nora. “Eating eggs is gross”

“True” replied Lanna. “But some animals eat eggs”

“That’s just an old wives tale” replied Nora.

“Say, why did the horse cross the road?” asked Lanna.

“Cluuuuck…” replied Nora. “To get to the other side.”

“Oh yeah, that makes sense” said Lanna.

“The sky is falling” she continued.

And they both started laughing again..

The life of chickens is filled with deep thoughts and laughter I suppose..
Farmyard chickens story

“Does anyone know how to get to the store from here” Maligo asked as he stood in the crowded elevator of his apartment.

“Yes I do” said the first person to speak. “You have to take a left at the corner and then you must hail a cab. The cab driver will take you exactly where you want to go.”

“No, that’s crazy talk” said the second person to speak. “Go right to the bus stop. The number thirteen bus is the only way to get there.”

“You people shouldn’t even be giving him advice” said the third person. “If you aren’t proficient in getting to the store by your own means then don’t offer advice.”

“I concur” said the fourth person. “Only someone who has been to the store on foot knows the correct way.”

“Well, I wasn’t talking about going there on foot” said the third person. “I’m talking about riding there on a bike. But walking would work as well.”

“Or taking a car. I drive there” said the fifth person. “If you haven’t driven there , biked there or walked there you shouldn’t talk about getting there.”

“They think that they are something special just because they have got there using something other than the bus or a cab” said the first person to the second person.

“We’ve been to the store way more times than you so don’t even talk to us” said the third, fourth and fifth person.
“Give use $5 and we’ll help you get there. We can draw you a map that shows you exactly what you need to know to get to the store in the quickest possible way.”

“It’s always about the money” chimed in the first and second person. “Why should you have to pay for that information when it’s freely available.”

“Because it will save him time and mistakes so it’s worth the money”said the first, second and third persons.

“Again with charging for what’s available for free” said the first and second persons.

“Both of these groups are full of crap” chimed in a sixth and seventh person. “You need to stop listening to any of them and find your own way.”

“Well,” said the first and second person. “Who are you going to listen to.”
“Yes,” said the third, fourth and fifth person in unison. “Do you want to buy our maps or not.”
“Don’t listen to anyone. Just hunt for the store in your own way” said the sixth and seventh person.

When Maligo left the elevator the groups were still arguing.

“Hey, Maligo want to go with me to the store” said the building maintenance man.

“Sure do,” said Maligo.

And off they went on his motorcycle..

Do you ever wonder about all the conflicting advice you are getting?

It’s somehow odd that when you finish a major renovation in your home that it seems to create more work.
After redoing the walls and ceilings of my house I now need new flooring, some kitchen renovations ,bathroom renovations, blah, blah, blah..

And will it end when those things are done? Not likely. Kitchen renovations lead to changes in my dining room. Dining room renovations require deck renovations. Deck renovations require…….

The point is that nothing is ever really complete.
I picture people in Heaven spending time changing curtains on their cool homes.
And people in Hell just renovating their shacks and never finishing anything.

Our sites are just the same for a lot of us.

Some people seem content with their site. They just make little changes here or there occasionally. They are in Heaven.

Other people are in site Hell. We don’t like our site design. Nothing seems to fit the way we want. Our posts are all over the place. We lack direction.

But whether we are in site Heaven or Hell we still need to change things on our sites. The internet will continue to evolve whether we want it to or not.

Most of us fight change whether vocally or just in a subconscious level. Things that worked in the past are what make us feel comfortable.

We repeat what isn’t working over and over again without getting results. Often we deny to ourselves that the reason is because we need to change. We even defend our lack of action to others.

A while ago I wrote a post titled Business is Ruining Online Writing ..
In it I said that business had taken over blogs to the point where the old style personal blogs had fallen by the wayside.

I stand by that statement. Business ruined personal blogs for the most part.
There are still personal blogs on the web but there are far less than in the past.

But, business hasn’t ruined writing or blogging.

The writing has evolved. There is far more information available than there was in the past. And there is an increased openness as a result.

The blogging medium evolved as business found ways to exploit it. And it will continue to evolve as new and different avenues of connecting with potential customers are developed.

My Space changed blogging. Facebook changed blogging. Twitter changed blogging. Google Wave or an offshoot will change blogging.

And as someone running a site we need to change with it. Wallowing in self pity or fighting change won’t lead us anywhere. We need to adapt to the changing environment or accept what we have now and be content with being left behind.

So, what do you think about change?

Why does it matter? It’s not like the content between the major points is interesting anyways. To skim is to save valuable time. For something or other. Probably more skimming. It isn’t that it helps us learn anything. For the most part we just like to think that we understand fully what the author has written. Even though we are likely to have totally missed what the author is really saying.

Why does it matter? It’s not like what our friend or family member is saying is interesting anyways. If we think about something else while they talk. Not listening saves us valuable time. For something or other. Probably to listen to our own thoughts. It isn’t that it helps us learn anything. For the most part we just like to think that we are understanding what the friend or family member has said. Even though we don’t.

Why does it matter? It’s not like helping someone in need really makes a difference anyways. To help is to waste our valuable time. Which we need to learn about our life. It isn’t that helping others teaches us anything of value. For the most part we think if we help others when will we have time to get help with our problems. Which is the wrong way to think about helping.

So your question is:
Why does it matter? It not like……
