My Future from Blogging
Yours
There has never been a better time to be an experienced blogger then RIGHT NOW. Perhaps a Higher power lead us all to go through the long lonely grind of blogging so now we can be positioned to be the NEXT KINGS.
As we watch the backlash of shitty selfish sites like DIGG get their due and Google stumbling around without a clue NOW is the time to make your move.
Bloggers have enough knowledge and resources to launch their own live shows and make killer money. Look at those weak ass Youtube celebs some clocking 6 figures for playing the game and playing Google.
Bloggers make and brake sites we build Google’s index down to the millions of wordpress posts each day and the vast amount of content WE add to the internet NOW is the time to FOCUS on the FUTURE and that is NOW.
Bloggers who just write post and do the regular blogger shuffle are doomed and about to enter the abyss.
With the onslaught of fake ass Goofs social media consultants coming with their RAP people are eager for REAL Heroes and people to admire. I mean what the fuck did Gary V or any of these people ever do for me and No I don’t think much of people like Chris Brogan and am often surprised to see all my blogging friends still stumbling around like me.
But I have a plan and will execute it. I will be going to New Orleans to ROCK that city and make as much money as possible. I will have to find away to deal with BloggerLUV as it crashes multiple times a day now and I have to move fast. I thought of donating the site to a foundation similar to Mozilla.org and they can just compensate me a little for my time and then the site can be scaled to infinity.
A site that gets under 40 K in 3 months is on fire and averages a 1000 views a day and I have offered many bloggers chances to advertise on the site and the ones who decided to pass won’t get that opportunity again see the point none of those social media people impressed me or many bloggers is they don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves and I believe that is wrong and I believe in Karma and see examples of it being true EVERYDAY 
I am not perfect but I do care what happens to people.
The future of social media is in big trouble if people keep friending each other and not much else, the future is in trouble if people suck up to GOOFS and treat their real friends like crap, the future is actually awesome and I see LOCAL HUGE and I will have a BAD ASS New Orleans site believe that.
Let me be blunt. I am like in the top 100 on twitter in San Antonio as I looked at the list I saw how many people I reached out to and how many never said a word to me.
I know so many bloggers and never do any of them or I should not to often do they say HEY was just wanting to say HI or anything like that I mean does it seem weird for people to write about social, talk about social and in reality they ain’t to social ?
Basically what I am saying is I am the future and when I get to New Orleans I will be exploiting everything available to me because the future of social media is as follows
More people = more views = more clicks= more money= more people = more views =
Your reach and your capacity to deal with many people will make or brake you
I am ahead of the GAME And I see how I am going to win so hang it up 
What do you see next in social media ? 
See the key in social media is trying to figure out how to get all those ‘friends’ to join your list. If you can convert 25% of your friends to your list and mail them offers, or your newsletter, then you can monetize social media. But most people don’t know how to do that. So they get stuck with lots of friends and followers and no money. LOL!
John,
You said it best “The future of social media is in big trouble if people keep friending each other and not much else…”
Social Media isn’t about how many friends you have. Its about relationships. Lady Gaga has a lot of friends. How many people would show up to a Led Zeppelin concert right now. Think substance. Social media as we know it right now is a fad. Time will tell the true power of social media. My bet is that it doesn’t have much to do with Digg or Facebook.
I don’t believe the key to social media is to convert your followers. The key to social media is to attract those interested in you. Converting followers to subscribers is backwards. I think one can have a very powerful blog/website/newsletter without ever tweeted a word or made a book of faces. Get over that and start producing something that people give a shit about.
I’m technically new to being social because I’m basically an introvert but as long as there’s a monitor in between, I CAN be social.
I’m happy for you and that your plans are clear about being ahead and seeing the opportunities that lay down in front of you. I’m really glad to be part of BloggerLuv!
Why would you want to donate a site that brings in 1000 views per day to Mozilla? You seem to be handling it great even though you are not localized. (PS don’t really notice the crashes) .. Keep this going and growing and a New Orleans blog, eh? Can’t wait
PPSS more 2 cents … I don’t think the key to success in social media is calling people GOOFS because relationships are dynamic thing – not static – and changing all the time. Some people might surprise you! Not everybody is “Stoned right now” and at the same stages in life and times on the internet!
I have to agree with Hart, sorry John… it could lead people (especially the non-focused ones) to rebel against you.
Personally, I’m a quiet person but I love a decent conversion. I guess it goes with the creative types.
I’m happy to see that you are focused and I have no doubt that you will make it big!
My opinion? Just move to one of the 14 states that have medicinal cannabis, you’ll be a happier person.
Be careful in NOLA, the cops are very corrupt and they are throw people in jail for carrying a joint!
Hart I meant to have it set up like Mozilla not give it to them
anyway I appreciate all the feedback I guess stress and a passing
BDAY that could of been much better tends to bring out the negative in me
I am working on changing all that
It was also disheartening to see people in my real life pretend to be my friend and looking back realized they ain’t shit
Same can apply to many MOST Bloggers I have meet
Bloggers have turned on me many times and I always enjoyed that
Wish me well and I will do likewise
Thanks everyone
John fuck em all!! I love a good rant, later on you will be raving. Hang in there with high spirits and keep walking towards YOUR dream. If these people are not valuing your friendship as yo do theirs, then they are goofs.
ROFL I just noticed the page title showing in the browser bar!
Being stoned and writing for your blog, makes for an interesting combination, for sure.
“What do you see next in social media ?” A shift from social networking to more of an intellectual interactions and action based sites. Move from the chatter and create something for people to do…I don’t know just yapping right now.
But hey, you know what’s interesting John? I think of your site right now as a sort of secret society…members only type of thing. Maybe that’s the future. Social sites that you need to be invited to.
Anyway, theraflu has officially gone to my head…great post John!
