Brandon Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Here is a great article by: Sonia Simone at copyblogger. Harsh Reality #1: No one is reading your blogAs far as anyone can figure, there are about 200 million blogs around the world. Technorati tells us there are about 900,000 blog posts made every 24 hours..... Harsh Reality #2: You’ve got to give (some of) your best stuff away It’s very natural to expect to get paid for what you do. And you should have a business model that leads to exactly that.... Harsh Reality #3: It will eat your life (if you let it) Social media marketing would be pretty easy if we never had to eat, sleep, shower, or hang out with our kids..... Harsh Reality #4: Social media hates selling Is there anything more pitiful than that guy who gets on Twitter and won’t shut up about how he can put you in a condo today with no money down despite your lousy credit rating? Even the spammers are blocking this dude....

Blogs are just one way to get your best content out there, and they work best when you pair them up with email autoresponders, special reports, Twitter, and any of a dozen other powerful tools.....

Stormraven Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Wow that is interesting mate. OMG 900,000 blog posts made every 24 hours o.O. Personally I'm not a fan of blogging as I don't understand what the hype is all about. Interesting article thank you for sharing. Quote
Brandon Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 I'm getting into blogging more and more; maybe it's because of the family and wanting to know how the baby is doing. I really enjoy it but it can be hard to get people to read your blog post. Just keep trying and build your name up, is the best advice I can give. Quote
