Comments on: Is Blogging Doomed? Why A-Lister’s Are Quitting and Dan Lyons Is Just Plain Wrong http://www.davidrisley.com/is-blogging-doomed-dan-lyons/ Six Figure ProBlogger, Blog Marketing, Make Money Online, Blogging Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:19:00 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jimi Jones http://www.davidrisley.com/is-blogging-doomed-dan-lyons/comment-page-2/#comment-9728 Jimi Jones Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:59:13 +0000 http://www.davidrisley.com/2009/02/10/is-blogging-doomed-dan-lyons/#comment-9728 Great post, don't know how I missed it months ago. The short-sightedness of some industry know-it-alls has always opened doors and provided opportunities for those with a broader vision (like you). Today's new wave of bloggers who really want to go pro could not be in a better position to make things happen. We can ride this evolution to success and write posts about how wrong the experts were. Great post, don’t know how I missed it months ago.

In it's pure form..........not seo related or whatever, it's just a method of communication that has only just really started to get going as far as the masses are concerned. The real problem is weeding the crap from the good because the ratio is way way out of line. There seems to be too many spammed blogs out there with just waffle for content. I'd rather read any blog that anything on Twitter - I'm not playing on that one!! :) Sure saying that blogging is dead is like saying conversation and debate is dead.

I'm relatively new to blogging but I'm an experienced marketer. I have several blogs but I'm still using the free Blogger format from Google. I realize I don't have total control when I host a blog through Blogger but I continue to do this for the outstanding seo results I've had on Google (one blog has been consistently listed #1 for one of my niches, out of 24 million results). Turning one's nose up at blog advertising smacks of elitism. I see absolutely nothing wrong with blog ads. For a brief time I helped my brother (very conservative lawyer)with marketing. He considered advertising/marketing anathema in the legal field. He thought my efforts would make him look like an ambulance chaser. Although he was a tough nut to crack, I assured him he would see significant results without it appearing he had done any advertising at all. For the short time I helped him he saw an increase of over $100,000 due to marketing. Let the blog snobs dominate the socialist milieu while the rest of us plug along in the real world, capitalism.

And good direct-response marketers know that the most valuable thing we have in a business is the LIST. If you aren't capturing names and email addresses so you can send interested people more info directly, you're missing the boat. Oh, sure... have millions hit your site like the dating guy in Canada, and THEN perhaps AdSense will pay your way. If not, do lead generation (see my #1 Secret To Success here http://bit.ly/72nFU), capture names and email addresses attached to an autoresponder, and start a dialogue with good prospects. THEN you'll be in a position to sell them things directly.

I gather that Mr. Lyons' career has been working for media companies. He underestimated the value of their marketing platform that he gets to enjoy. Their sales staff then handles the monetization, too, so he can concentrate on writing engaging content. The Internet does not suspend the law of gravity or provide any other magic. Why would Mr. Lyons think that his merely writing good info was going to pay him even close to the income that his major media company employers do? Like any other type of successful entrepreneur, top bloggers wear multiple hats. Monetizing our own content requires a mix of skill sets that are only beginning to be widely recognized and taught. Smart guy but he should have read your (or my) blogs! Scott Fox Author, Internet Riches Well said, David.
