Hey There! It's nice to see you again, thanks for stopping by. Sign up for my RSS feed and never miss a post.
That’s what I get for coming home after partying with some friends til the wee hours of the morning and coming home supposedly inspired enough to make a post on the merits of a large group of us all buying into a program or system and making the dash for cash. Don’t get me wrong though. This wasn’t the first time I’ve had this idea and I really do believe it can work. Like I already said (in the big rambling post, for those of you who haven’t read that one), this idea of mine is quite similiar to the membership model that’s out there, except with one major difference: it’s less like a membership site where you pay me to be a member, but rather, more like an investment club where we all, including myself, chip in our $10-15 bucks and then the administrator of the club (No, it doesn’t have to be me, but I won’t lie to you and say I don’t want to be the admin guy…I know, I said that too in my rambler of a post I made this morning) shops around for a legitimate business model that will provide all of us with the greatest return on our investment. All of us would have our individual accounts which the admin guy (me!, me!, me!…oh, did I say that out loud?….LOL) only access would be to ensure all of us get paid. Again, it doesn’t have to be me, but this could be set up so the admin person cannot access member’s individual accounts, but has enough control to be able to make sure everyone gets paid. I already said that, didn’t I? (Laugh, you know that was funny).
Yes, I know I was long winded and yes, I know I was all over the place in my last post (tipsy and inspired, not that great a combination when it comes to writing, I know). But since I’ve sobered up a bit, let me summarize the two major themes of this morning’s post, because although my post was more than a bit rambling, my reasoning behind that post remains viable, in my humble opinion. First, its my intention to become more personal in terms of my posting. In my blog surfing, I’ve found quite a few blogs that deal with marketing, be it internet, affiliate or blog that are mainly informational in nature and some that are what I call “tease” blogs, i.e. a blog designed to incite you to purchase a product or a service. Now, while there’s nothing wrong with that, the previous incarnation of Mike’s Blog Marketing Tips was mainly informational in nature, I found from my own experience that blogs that are more personal in nature tend to be more popular and receive a lot of traffic. My wife Patricia’s blog is a perfect example of what I’m talking about.
There’s a story behind my wife and I and I’m not going to get too much into that right now, except as to how it relates to what I’m saying. It was me that introduced her to blogging when both of us were seriously into Yuwie, which is a social network that pays its members for those of you who don’t know about Yuwie (which I may cover in another post) . I told her about Blogger and helped her get started blogging. At the time, my blog was mainly an informational one following the concept of giving out good info and tips to make my blog sticky. Patricia, on the other hand, made her blog a running commentary on our relationship, i.e. how we met, etc. Now, who do you think has the more popular blog? She does! Why? Because people can relate to what her blog is about. That’s what I mean when I say that blogs that are more personal in nature tend to be stickier, people enjoy commenting and in general, receive more traffic than a purely informational blog. I’m not talking about any heavyweight internet marketing guru’s blog, mind you, but rather your everyday, regular blog (if there even is such a thing, but I think you get my point). Sure, my blog will continue to be focused for the most part on blog marketing and the like, but at the same time, will also be an extension of my personality, of who I am as a human being and not entirely devoted to making money online. After all, there are some things more important than money, even in this economy.
Second, my idea of 10,.000 of us or so all getting together, pitching in $10-15 bucks apiece a month and dangling all that cash in front of a superheavyweight internet marketer guru, say like Mike Filsame, is going to get his attention. Why? Because it benefits Mike (or whoever) and it benefits all of us members. In fact, I would go so far as to say we could get said guru to be the administrator of our fund, if that’s what we (collectively) choose to do. All of us would have an equal stake and an equal say in whatever we choose to do with our fund and collectively would carry a lot of weight with a great majority of the guru’s out there. These guys know how to make money online and who better to go to, especially with the kind of money I’m talking about. Consider this. There’s strength in numbers and keep in mind, money does talk. Having said that, I think it’s long past time for us (you, me and all of us small fries) to get together, pony up the kitty and lets ALL make the dash. I’m telling you there isn’t a guru out there that wouldn’t jump at the chance to make us some money, simply because in doing so, said guru figures to make a ton of cash as well.
Well, that’s where I was going this morning and I apologize for the ramble on and on. I read that post and went OMG!…LOL! But that’s my idea. I figure why not put the cart (our cash) before the horse (any affiliate/internet markeing business model). In other words, let’s all our ducks in a row, and when we’re ready, jump on the gravy train. With a bit of luck, some persistence and determination, a group of us could pull this off, bring a major guru into the mix and we could all be living that much larger.
Think about it.
In this economy, we all need to be helping each other out.
And the web is big enough to where no one should have to sell the farm in order to make some cash.
