Hi my name is Alvin and I am a full time blogger. I blog very actively at Make Money Online with GatherSuccess and I was wondering are there any other marketers here who blog too?

Do place your URL below and perhaps I can also give some comments on it too

    • You have a great blog, but the pink background really have to go! It's really hard to read your text. You may want to add a picture to your mailing list to grab more readers

      So anyone else here have a blog? Other then MommyEnterprises

    • Forget it. I think I see where it came from.
  • I try to incorporate a blog in addition to any content sites I create. I found that double-teaming (website and a co-blog) works great for website promotion purposes. I dig your blog! Absolutely great ad placement.

    • Good for you!! Keep it up!! That's so great to hear about determination, goals, and success.
    • I actually started a blog a few days ago....cuz I got sick of my posts gettin' deleted on this joint...for reasons still not even clear to the wise guy here.

      Not just posts...but entire threads vanishing like my bank account in divorce number 2...and it aint fair to the poor ******* who shouldn't have to suffer for my sins...to have their threads yanked just cuz I decide to post some honest, content rich gold.

      But why fight the machine? When you can go another direction?

      So rather then turnin' into the quintessential sheep, lemmings, victim et al....(which I despise)...I went proactive.....

      My fans expect Vegas Vince live and uncensored and delivered in a brown paper bag!

      So a couple nights ago...I started:

      Vegas Vince: Life and Marketing Behind the 8-Ball


      It's the only blog on the net where we slaughter sheep and lemmings for fun and profit...minus any guilt....and minus any censor button controlled by people who have way too much time on their hands. Ya think?

      I'm going to attempt to repost and recreate all my posts that get deleted here....and repost them over there as needed...along with a lot of other original sales and marketing street smart stuff.

      Nothing is for sale on my blog.....so hopefully this thread wont end up like most of the others I bother with...swimmin' with lead boots in some great ocean abyss.


      xxx Vegas Vince

      p.s. Can I post my new blog in my signature? Or since I technically don't own it...should I just keep my porn link up..which I do own.? Seriously? Anyone know the deal on blogs in signatures?

  • I just saw Rachel popping in here... I must mention.

    I REALLY like Rachel's blog. Those short titles she uses Seth Godin's ones.
    • [2] replies


    • Ditto, bro.

      Her blog inspires the "bad guy" here, too.

      Gotta love a chick from New Z-land...with power and running water....cuz I wasn't aware those "basics" were available there? New Zeee-Land aint the end of the world..but you'se can sure see it from there.

      How she powers her computer is another thing that shazes and amazes me...cuz I wasn't aware they had power there??? So again...Rachel...has managed to trump time, space, and modern eletricity..and that makes this chick cool in my book.

      What's more inspiring..... Rachel GoodGirl....I must confess... can actually write pretty good prose... too.

      For a girl! That is!

      God I must be a sucker for chicks named Rachel.

      Blog On...Warriors. And read my offensive blog when you have time.

      I really enjoy blogging- as a writer there is something so instant about writing something and receiving a comment moments later.

    • Hi Guys

      An interesting thread!

      I have recently entered the 'blogosphere' and have started 'experimenting'. I recently put up this one...

      forex4traders.com/blog

      and am building this up. I put in a squeeze box and am also wondering if Wordpress allow hover ads.

      I am thinking of having a theme reworked possibly on elance and then promoting.

      A part of me wants to keep the theme simple - not flashy!

      Your opinions are appreciated in advance.

    I like your blog a lot! My blog is at:

    And I want to change it already. I'm looking for a new template
    that's similar to yours.
    I like blogging on a site that I enjoy looking at - currently, for
    my blog - it's on version 5. And I STILL haven't found a suitable
    blog theme.

    I might want to have a paid-customized blog but not unless I
    really have to.

    I am having some problems about blogging.
    I have more than one blogs and it started
    to consume so much of my time to write
    posts for these blogs.

    I am thinking whether I should continue with
    these blogs or just put it inside one blog and
    just differentiate the posts using tags.

    Can you give advice on what should I do??
    T_T

    You can call me noob if you want but I
    will just continue on learning..

    The question that is playing continuously in my head:

    or having more than one..?

    • I have a blog but I mainly started it as place where people can get to know me better and come read my thoughts on something inspirational, motivational, or sometimes just whatever. Of course I also have links to businesses I do but I don't plan on spending alot of time trying to "sell" to people.

      I don't know about anyone else but I will seldom buy something or join someone's network marketing business wihtout getting to know them a bit better and it may just be thru their blog or newsletter or ezine that I do that.

      I sometimes wonder if it would be best to have two or three separate blogs. Like one for network markekting, one for inspirational/motivational, and one for natural health (another interest of mine). So far I'm only doing the one because I think it would be too time consuming for me to maintain 2 or 3.

Used to think that it would be hard to maintain but actually not too bad (risk now is that it is a stream of consciousness sort of this.

    • One thing we should all realise about blogging;-

      If you use free blogs like Wordpress or Blogspot, remember that they can vanish in an instant for no apparent reason to you.

      Google with Blogspot are usually helpful and will put your blog back up again after discussion.
      Wordpress however, have a different policy. No discussion. Their word is final. Your account is suspended indefinitely.

      So it is always ESSENTIAL that every post you make, you keep a copy of it in a notebook or word file on your computer so that you can 'rise again like a pheonix' if the worst happens.

      Just a thought. :-)

      Pete.

  • I apologize for restating something I have already said once. But really? What is the point of blogging? Is it just a way to get your personal opinions about things out on the internet for everyone to see? I would very much like to know what people that blog really think about it and basically Why you do it. Im interested. Because I think, if I get an answer that speaks to me enouph, It might change my mind on the whole idea around Blogging.

    • Well for me it started as just a way for people to get to know me. Being invloved in network marketing, I thought it would be a good idea. I don't know about anyone else but I will seldom buy from someone or join their business just based on an ad. I would kind of like to know a little about them. So now I will usually include a link to my blog in most of my advertising.

      But my blog is also about motivation/inspiration and sharing my thoughts, ideas, and resources. Instead of just keeping these things to myself by writing them in a paper journal, I can share them with others. I don't think a whole lot of people read it but maybe even if one or two here and there find something useful it was worth the trouble of me putting it out there.

    • For me, a blog is nothing more than an alternative website, I treat them as such... it's a website on a different platform that Google likes better than conventional websites.

      And I dispute the claims of others to the effect of "it's gotta be on your own domain or it's not good enough"

  • Hi Lexiranae,

    Minsheyenwen here. I hear your question...

    What's the value of having a blog?

    How will a blog benefit my online business?

    Blogs have many purposes. It depends on the goals of the blog owner.

    Blogs are no longer just personal online journals of expressions.

    A blog can be used to connect an offline business with their current online audience and to give their audience information, special announcements, promotions, customer surveys etc.

    A blog can be used to connect an online business with their prospective customers and give valuable "how to" information to visitors. A blog can help a blog owner to get interested targeted traffic and to build a list. A blog gives the blog's owner an opportunity to socially interact with visitors by encouraging visitors to leave comments. A blog gives a visitor - a presence and a voice. A blog allows people to dialogue like we are doing now.

    A blog can be used to document a person's online journey to start an online business to make money and build a following.

    A blog can be used to generate free organic traffic and backlinks to the blog's owner main web site.

    A blog can be used to brand and promote you, your business, products and/or services. You can build a network of blogs to work on your behalf, as your sales force on the net, to expand your online visibilty, build your brand, generate traffic to your site and get visitors that are interested in what you are offering or your recommendations.

    I hope this answers your question and gives you some insight on the ways a blog can benefit your online business.

  • Thank you justgr8, that was actually an answer that made sense. I guess I can understand wanting to know something about a person before doing business with them. You kind of do that in real life with people like doctors and other services, you want a bit of background to make a decision on if working with a person. So thank you, that answer was informative and made sense.

    I blogged, but after i had sent around 1000 hops of natural traffic after a month, i had no sales from that product. But, to be fair it was a horrible product, pity i took a week to build my blog up! I think blogging is great to get natural traffic, much faster than a static webpage!
  • just want to build a blog, however, english is not my mother language. It would take me quit a long time to write an article.

    • You don't have to write from scratch, you may rewrite the PLR article and post to your blog...
  • I have a few blogs.
    Arizona surgical malpractice lawyer – Arizona Lawyers

    these are just a few.

    Hey Vegas Vince, looked at your blog, nice. Only thing is I'm afraid of blogger.com I have had a few of my blogs shut down for no reason.
  • Did not mean to post twice. Got a "error" when I posted the first time. Did not know if first post was live.
  • Yep I just started my own blog based around the offline gold niche!

    Its here > www.offlinetreasuresecrets.com

    I feel I have a wealth of knowledge to offer in this niche and thought blogging was the way to do it!

  • i JUST started blogging.
  • Blogging is a must for modern marketing. The essence of today's social internet is that CONVERSATIONS ARE MARKETS. If you want to access a market, you have to participate in the conversation. Blogging is the best way to do that. And after you blog about a particular topic, you can leverage that content in dozens of different places.
  • I also now have a blog at wordpress: ryansjones.wordpress.com and a blog at iblog.at at ryansjones.iblog.at (iblog at is an affiliate of word press by the way)

  • Hi Alvin,

  • Every marketer should blog because blogging is a quick, free method of getting visitors.

    Every marketer should have at least one niche related blog in their marketing arsenal.
