Why blogging is dead – or in a coma
January 16, 2008
Apart from the obvious top blog sites, that lonely little 5% of sites that are actually viable and make money, the majority of the rest of the sites should be put in a coffin and cremated. Maybe theres an idea for some entrepeneur to setup a web site that can cremate blogs that are just taking up valuable space – Who knows ?
When we surf the net we are inundated and bombarded with so many blogs and sites that are 90% pure crap 8% filtered crap and 2% of whatever. No content, No Logic and definately no qualm…
The top 5% of blogging sites do it really well and very convincing and provide a much needed information cycle. Unfortunately as users we have to sift and sort through the other rubbish and try to decipher through content that 90% has been injected by some “newly released content creating software” developed by a 16year old working under the dim light of his desk at night when he should be in bed getting some much need beauty sleep.
So how do we awaken these “oxygen consuming” blogs and convince them to put some reasonable content onto their sites ? The answer - we dont , we let them stay in their coma induced state and let nature take its course.
How to create the ultimate blog – how , why , when and where, wanted 10 individuals
January 15, 2008
With all the information that is available on the net today regarding the setting up of a blog you would think that it is a simple matter of registering a name and watching the visitors pour into our new found platform, as we all know this is not so.
I am looking for 10 other individuals to take this journey with me, your thoughts and ideas and concepts are all that will be required. The coming together of several minds and personalities will always add keen interest and variations to the though process.
The aim of “the ultimate blog” would be to showcase to anyone wanting to setup a successful blog that this is what is required, commitment , time, collection of ideas and ultimately the desire to succeed.
We will take this showcase from the very infancy of registering a domain to the fully worked and operational blog that will highlight all aspects of setting up a wordpress blog.
So hop aboard for the ultimate blog journey – ultimateblog@zoopta.com
Don’t Just Have a Blog - Learn to Think Like a Blogger
January 12, 2008
Last week I was chatting to a new blogger and he asked me
“how do you manage to keep coming up with post ideas for my blogs?”
It’s a question I get a fair bit - and one I’ve struggled to answer… until recently.
It sounds odd that I don’t know how I keep ideas coming - but I’ve never really understood how I’m able to do it - it just seems to happen quite naturally.
What clicked for me was a conversation with my personal trainer who said something that switched a light on for me.
