What role do you play in blogging ?

by John Sullivan on July 1, 2009 · 103 comments

in social media

From POTPOLITICS

The main reason for writing this post is to take an honest look at your online persona in the hopes that you are on course. The other main reason is to keep you from failing and being broke.

I was thinking of a few roles that I see people play online.

I was going to mention a few names to characterize the roles so let me try that since many of these names are some what known to people that obsesses with the internet :P LOL .

Daniel Sacco from Daily Blog Tips; this is a blog built with intelligence and kindness. Daniel plows a steady course and has some very impressive stats. DailyBlog tips is currently a Google Page rank of 6 and his Alexa is 10,906. Daniel is a blogger‘s blogger. His topics are fresh unique and when you read his work your reading from a real authority in blogging. Daniel hasn’t achieved his success by belittling people or running scam type offers. This is perhaps if I was lucky one day the highest I could go blogging and that is pretty damn high. So in summary you worked hard and kept on the right path.

Joel Comm; You a legend in your own mind and even when you fart people tend to gravitate to you for whatever crazy reason. Your always pushing the next big thing. You did accomplish something often years ago and now make mass amounts of money convincing people that whatever your hustling has some value. You can throw Guy Kawasaki in this pile.

Darren Browse You have a well known blog but rarely if ever go out of your way for anyone else. You spend 99% of your time submitting your site and your post only to particularly every bookmarking site in the universe. You have a mad following because people like you and you know how to play the game of  having people do most of your work for you.

Houdidnt : You came out strong set up a nice blog met alot of people but your current whereabouts are unknown You did a Houdini man :)

Now the throughbreeds

Full time Frank Your the blogger who still works a  JOB because although you are doing a great job blogging you need a great reliable income. You’d love to be able to quit your job and blog full time. This will hopefully be your future. in the meantime you continue on and hang out with lame bloggers like John Sullivan for the hell of it :)

Sweetie Pie Sue People don’t really know you. They know you as a nice person who stops by and is always a pleasure to cross paths with.

This is the blogger I want to focus on. Sweetie PIE SUE or the guy who does so many things for others he puts his own family at risk. This blogger needs to step back and approach the internet in a radically different way. When I came on the scene I was a gangbuster shit talking fool. Some many say I still am. But clowns don’t get paid.

I was recently told not to have as many guest post. So the whole month of JULY we will look at ways that you can if necessary transfer your role. I know that I had to take a real honest look at where I was going to fit in. I knew I really didn’t want to work for anyone here in San Antonio.

I knew I was lazy when it came to research and writing Pillar post. I knew I wasn’t going to fit in with the typical marketer crew because I despise fake ass people. So I had to find out what I could do to better my situation.

I’m no where near the situation I’d like to be but the point is I’m heading rapidly in that direction.

Are you where you want to be ? Are you thinking about taking a whole different direction?

DO you have a guest post where people will be able to do what you did to be successful ?

Who is so excited about the Fourth of July they can’t stand it :)

We don’t have our version of the fourth of July because too many people blew their fingers or other body parts off that they canned it for our own good. Dumb asses.

As for me. I don’t see myself changing anytime soon.

I seen your blog made many changes recently I see you set up that cool forum and monetized :) Guess it was a good idea to PING ya :)
Have a great day Bro :)
Cool how blogging makes the world smaller;)

Also I was just thinking that this post isn’t to point the finger at anyone. I was thinking that I have changed roles many times. In fact I think making money now has taken away alot of the fire and rage that I had I kinda of miss that NUTTY blogging but back then I wouldn’t get many comments :)

Yeah, comments make the blogs a lot more lively that’s for sure. not much action in the forum these days. I’m in the process of adding some games to entice people to join as members get to save their high scores. Haven’t advertised the fact yet.

Have also set up Cool Blog Links for people to join. Last I looked it was rated No1 in Google. Free to join, all that is required is that they place a code on their blogs. Must take the time to promote that one day.

I am now where near where I need to be as a blogger. To be honest I wasn’t sure if blogging was going to be many things but it seems to be growing on me. I’m not sure if you know who I am but I own blogengage and when I first started blogengage I didn’t even know one thing about blogging. I didn’t even know what wordpress was.

Since that day I have grown so much. I started 2 blogs, one about SEO Marketing and Promotion and another about ERP, ecommerce and Warehousing Software. One professional and the other personal but they are both career related.

Lately I have found my niche and apparently I like to help other bloggers succeed. I like to write article that will benefit bloggers when creating their own presence.

So far it’s going good. It’s nice to be here and meet you. I plan on viewing some more articles while I’m here.

Well, it’s Canada Day here in the great white north, and it sucks being on Wednesday .. the worse possible day to spread it into a long weekend! I mean, I can – but some people will get jealous. :p

Oh – what was the question again? lol .. I was distracted “what role do I play in blogging?”

Some days I would like it to be all about me – the blogger – but on most days I would much rather have it about the blog – not me. This way, I can have writers, and people will come to my sites for information, or people will find my sites and maybe find something of interest and/or buy something.

The odd thing is I am really a blogger without the blog. I have assisted in several creative style online enterprises including a webcomic called Circle Versus Square, Umbrage.org, an orignal quote site of a buddy of mine, and my brother’s website Jay Zuck’s Sketch of the Day.

The last 8 months or so I have become increasingly focused on helping my brother’s art blog succeed and the results have been mixed. The reasons for this as I see it are several fold. There is only so much I can do for another person and to the extent bro and I aren’t on the same page I have to respect that it is his call to make. I can’t make him do anything especially on the monetization side. If he doesn’t have the hunger, I can’t instill it in him. I’m looking at the end of the quarter with a profit after our hosting cost of a few hundred bucks. Not exactly living large right?

Money certainly isn’t the reward and god knows I wouldn’t have worked this hard if it didn’t mean something more than money to help my little bro out, but it is hard to justify the expenditure of time.

So what role do I play in blogging? I don’t really know, but I think I may have to work to find that out in a more robust way for myself. I am open to suggestions :)

I want to say in closing John that you are a real inspiration and offer that from where I am sitting this is precisely your “role” as a blogger. You care about others especially other bloggers in a profound way and your generosity of spirit has kept me coming back often. You also stomp on the haters which seem to be all over the place on the internet these days. You do a service to the community and you get mad respect from me.
