Closing Your Blog? I’m Thinking About It!
This blog isn’t even 100% finished yet re structure and links etc., and I’m already considering closing it up. Why? Well, at the end of the day, this industry is known for both showing your status and spot, as well as documenting your success. More importantly for me though, this business is about automation. My version of status and spot, is to get the fcuk off these computers in the near future. Ever hear a guru try to teach you that? Yep, I said it, my goal and aim, is to go from where I am now into epic levels through quality partners and a big enough greased wheel to allow me to free myself from gazing into a screen(s) all day.
This blog doesn’t make any direct money, it has a couple referral links here and there, and perhaps also helps recruit into my affiliate programs, however the novelty is wearing off and frankly - updating this thing is fun at most, daunting at least. I’m even starting to chuckle to myself that I named and branded this with so much bling and wow factor.. . …
Perhaps I thought “Ok, it’s been 12 years, start a blog already, tell some stories, educate a few people, have some fun, and yes you’ll need it to recruit and get noticed in this industry”. Realistically, this blog hasn’t really done jack shyte for me other than remind me that I ‘gotta do a blog post’ every other day/week. The value of these things can be high, however the overall experience for a publisher to try to keep a blog, and get personal on it as well as mix in some business, has become a bunch of BS.
Having said that, I have no idea where this blog will go from here, you might just see the domain forwarded somewhere else shortly, or I might overhaul it again and stop the bling/money approach - I’m starting to enjoy my free time, and maximizing it for personal or more business reasons - documenting my success shall happen in other ways for me I think.
True automation is quite difficult in any form of business. The only real robots are the machines that enable factories to speedline their products. Every single publisher/merchant/affiliate I know still has a lot of day to day tasks no matter how much you automate your systems. Customer support, retention strategies, competitive intel, new campaigns, skimmers/fraud/refund enthusiasts, technical glitches/hacks, copyright infringement, the list goes on. These short lived spurts of income can become distant if you stop the chase, and I’m finally realizing that focusing on a set of valuable programs with one to one customer support is the true way to success. Not blogs, not recruiting in mass, launching more ebooks, but focusing on developing a relationship with nothing but quality people AND customers.
I will always be available through the Niche Choppers forum, and this domain may in fact get forwarded there in the near. This all stems from a huge launch for a new product/service happening tomorrow. Blogging is not something I really want to do anymore simple as that. It’s been ‘fun’, it’s been crappy at times when getting tons of bots posting bullshit comments/links, it’s been a bitch to try to finish, and it’s been fun keeping in touch with some of you guys through here.
Thank you,
N.
