Living up to the perception you put out, why most screw up

Internet marketing is about shipping out, without shipping you get no return. ;)

Want to make money online, get money links out there, want readers, get your content out there, want fans, amaze them, want backlinks virally, blow them all away… whatever, it’s give first… ;)

Give then get…

It’s not just with marketing though, it’s all the time, we are continually shipping out a perception too, with that comes expectation… living up to the perception you put out and meeting the expectation of others for you to match it. ;)

The problem is…

Commented here? Thanks, added another benefit

Layer upon layer of life!! :D

Thanks to those of you who subscribed due to the last post, grateful to each of you, interesting to note that those of you who blog or other will often use the RSS reader version, while those of you who just casually use facebook, browse less then the average user, will choose email format. ;)   > > that over there >> :lol:

Makes sense to me, I have many times been asked what RSS is and how to use it, even after explaining they will still choose email, my guess is they don’t see the point in them using a RSS reader, which is fine by me. ;)

You may have also noticed…

Are you being served? Need feeding?

Posted on July 14, 2010 by Rob
Messy post!

What post? :lol:

Wrapped up and overloaded…

I see blogs like this, smothered by the social media around it, I see tweet mentions, friendfeed comments and the like drowning out the blogs comments on post, do I bother scrolling down past that lot to read the real comments?

How many people think that way when they see the same thing?

We all as bloggers know that the most important thing is getting people reading what we do, doing our best to please them, give them something to think about, and hopefully comment…

Do bloggers want people reading their blog and comments or the syndicated version somewhere, so the readers don’t even need to ever see your blog, missing all the comments too?

We all know you can subscribe to the blog, and if they use full feed, as opposed to a short one, it also means you can read the whole of every post and never go to the actual blog, an important reason to add links to the actual content, advertsiers should take note of this fact, your link in a post has far more use, weight, for you than on the sidebar.

For me…

Diversify traffic or stall

Minor!

Morris Minor... Classic! :)

Traffic, in the world online is nothing minor… it’s the lifeblood of getting somewhere, without it we got nothing, just blogs no-one reads.

Traffic, yeah something we all have to deal with, online and offline! :lol:

Another reason I added the facebook like is the links, when you “like” a post the link goes on your facebook profile, (try it) your own friends will see them and if the title grabs their attention, they will lead to traffic. ;)

Yet as I said in recent post, facebook is a walled garden to most of us, so it is limited in some ways, but that stat’s show me facebook does get me readers… thanks to you facebookers. :D

But… it’s not just you facebook users, it everyone who reads this, shares it, comments here… you are all appreciated.

Taking Roads Always Flowing Forward In Comfort… we wish! :lol:

Online traffic though, it matters and even if you have no need for it this post may help you understand some of my intentions, you may wanna help… ;)

Or not…

The cross you bear, or why are you angry?

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Rob
Cross

Gunsight! ;)

We all have our crosses to bear, those who let them go are the smart ones, the better people for it.

Nothing can bother you unless you let it, I see angry people reacting to things out of their control, in fact the only thing they can control is that reaction.

Gotta let things go and stop whining. . .
