Umm, I’m lying I know a little. Ok so what’s the point of the title of this post? Well to be honest I read, a lot. I read other blogs that talk about how to make money doing PPC(pay per click marketing) or SEO(search engine optimization) and SEM(search engine marketing which PPC falls into) and they talk to their target audience as if these people know what they are talking about. Like everyone else is in on the vague babble that their posts are about. What it really says to ME is that these guys are writing for other SEO and PPC bloggers and not for the general public who are looking to sharpen their chops in internet marketing.
Honestly, if you are writing a “helpful” blog to advise newbies on how to get your feet wet in pay-per-click or search engine optimization why would you talk to them in a way that is alienating? Why would you make them feel more out of the loop than they already do? People are subscribing to or bookmarking these websites and RSS feeds in the hopes of learning something and sometimes I get the feeling that they are just out to impress the other techies who they idolize. The average person who would find a helpful post helpful is someone who knows nothing about your niche, market, genre and is looking to find out what it’s all about. They don’t want to feel like there is more technical jargon thrown at them. LOL you have just got to love eggheads and how they forget that they are writing for the every day Joe.
And you know something else? Enough with the frigging iphones and twitter, good lord. Yes iphones are wonderfully sleek glossy pieces of techie gadgets that everyone is blabbing about but not everyone wants to read about them. Yet not a week goes by without at least ten of my subscriptions writing a post about their iphones. I’m guessing that’s where the real seo juice is at lol. Ugh, and Twitter is quickly becoming a great tool turned to marketing crap, I had to unsubscribe from a bunch of bloggers who would tweet(make posts) 15 times a day about posts made on their blogs. I’m already subscribed to their feed and their newsletter so now I’m getting reminded a third time to read your blog full of iphone techno babble. Thanks, I’ll pass.
I guess this is the drawback of getting free information. It’s diluted down and only regurgitated again and again by other bloggers till they are all blogging about each other. I know that if you would like to learn about how to make money from the internet you are going to have to sift through the various experts and find someone who’s teaching style will work for you and actually pay for their services. As for right now I just don’t know for certain who I can honestly say is really worth the money for what you are looking for. I am going to have to do some more research before I recommend anyone because I don’t want to steer anyone in the wrong direction. So when I can get a more clear idea of who’s who, I will write a post about them. Until then if you want to learn a little I suggest hitting google and search for seo blog or ppc blog there are a few good ones out there.
