Is it really true? I haven’t really examined if that is true, I mean about the social bookmarking stuff? Is it all BS? Am I just wasting my time with all that BS? thanks Steve.

Yup. Ha, that basically answers my question. Good read too, thanks. I think I’m fortunate in that I actually do my writing under the eye of my boss, who founded the website I work for years ago. The writing part is pretty easy and straightforward for me (and due to the kind of site it is). What I really enjoy is being able to look at all the analytics, traffic sources, adsense revenue etc because we get over a million page views per month. I don’t think people looking to start making money online have under the hood access to such things.

@Mike Smart strategy. I may build a few hubpages today myself.

@Anon Like Allyn says, sucky sucky. I’m sure that some would put Copyblogger into the same category. You may want to check out Lis Sowerbutts article on the Copyblogger. http://lissowerbutts.com/teaching-sells-does-it-work/. One heck of a discussion going on as Lis called out the Copyblogger. Over 80 comments thus far.

To all participating in this comment thread: Would copyblogger.com fall into this category of bullshit? Ha, because it seems like every post over there falls into the category of ‘fluff’ posts. By fluff I mean posts that just spew out some ambiguous ‘blogging strategies’ like “cut to the chase” or “you gotta know when to wrap things up”. Each post follows this same repetitive groove – the only difference is they try to pick some new quirky metaphor + a new quirky image to go along with each post.

The ppl leaving comments seem like total suck ups. About every comment contains generic praise to the author. Then, when I follow the link to their blog, I find their own repetition of this or that about rising to blogging greatness.

Of all the beefs I could have with Chris Brogan what I find lame are profile pics. They’re shot in a studio with all this crafty lighting casting suave hues over his face. LAME and egotistical if you ask me. Grizzly and his frozen wilderness – now we’re talking down to earthness.

y/n?

I switched my time that I spent on social media, twitter, facebook etc, to writing articles on Infobarrel and Hubpages. I have already seen a significant increase in my earnings.

I still check my facebook, but maybe only once a day or so. I also changed my rss subscriptions to Griz and his friends, and it is a nice little community (oh, can I call it a community?)

Haha. No man2man crushes for this girl.

Intellect and the use of it is what I enjoy, something Vic-Griz-Court all have in common. They’re all smart cookies.

@JL It’s like this. Don Johnson got my man-crush cherry back in the day. You never forget your first one. Don Johnson has never made me any coin however. As I have aged and become more secure with my man crushes, I added Griz on my short list. Griz teaches how to make coin and is a severely blunt Canadian who tells it like it is. That to me is a huge man-crush turn on. Because I am a certified bad-ass, others may now feel more comfortable coming out publicly with their man-crushes too. I am publicly calling all bad-asses to reveal their man crushes. C’mon JL, who is yours?

Steve, do you keep your crush for Don Johnson and the crush for Griz Grizzly in the same folder, or are they filed under different categories?

To me Griz is kind of like way cooler than Don Johnson. I admire Griz’s brain and thinking, and I can’t say I ever really had thoughts like that about Don Johnson.
