18Aug Calacanis breaks the silence, couldn’t go more than 5 weeks could ya??
Image via CrunchBase, source unknown As many of you are aware, Jason Calacanis of Mahalo, went into retirement from blogging on July 11th. Claiming he needed to find his new voice, he set out on a quest to build an ‘intimate mailing list’ to host discussions on.
In a recent blog post, an update on his retirement, Jason says he is having a wonderful time writing his emails to his ‘intimate email group” (since when is 3000+ considered intimate?)…he continues: “I’ve been writing 2-5k word thought pieces on the email list, and I’ve found it to be very rewarding in a way that the mud pit of blogging isn’t.”
My thoughts are:
1. How is blogging a mudpit, and does that make us bloggers pigs? If so I feel a bit insulted.
2. Isn’t writing 2k+ ‘thought pieces’ the same as blogging just in a different format? I mean blog comes from the word weblog, which is a log of information on the web, a journal so to speak of one’s thoughts and opinions, whether it’s posted to a website or sent over email, in my opinion he’s still blogging.
3. It appears to me that this is somewhat of a scam like his twitter follower campaign, and other such to build a bigger audience for himself and mahalo. Everyone knows that the money is in your ‘list’. I’m not saying building a newsletter is bad, but if you want people to subscribe to your newsletter, don’t do it by trickery, just come out and say it.
Darren Rowse from Problogger says that before you do anything you need to build a list, and should start a newsletter on day one of your blog’s launch. There are just so many people who still don’t use feed readers that can benefit from your blog, and you can benefit from their visiting your site it’s a win-win.
Jason Calacanis continues his blog post : “Now I still love blogs: still read them, still comment on them…. but I’m trying to find my voice again–my true voice. There is something about the acoustic, intimate nature of email that is impacting how I write. I’m writing every sentence as if I’m looking someone in the eye and speaking directly to them. I’m thinking about the economy of words again. I’m trying to say things in as few words as possible, and I’m cutting sentences, paragraphs and pages more than I’m publishing them. I’m proof reading again, and C.K. Sample is proofing for me. It’s a new, slower and more considered process and I’m loving it. I’ve published ten emails or so and I’ve thrown away at least 30. Somethings happening, but I don’t know what it is.”
My thoughts:
When he says “I’m writing every sentence as if I’m looking someone in the eye and speaking directly to them.” I’m thinking, isn’t that how blogs are? That’s at least how I’ve always wrote my blog, as if I’m writing an intimate letter to a long lost friend…
He also says “I’m thinking about the economy of words again. I’m trying to say things in as few words as possible, and I’m cutting sentences, paragraphs and pages more than I’m publishing them. I’m proof reading again,” and I’m thinking economy of words?
Didn’t you say your ‘emaillog’(not to be confused with a weblog of course) are 2k-5k word thought pieces? How is that economical at all?
He continues:
“Over 100 folks respond to every email and I try to respond to every single person. Some of these emails are five pages and I read every single word. No one else sees these words–they are between me and the reader and that is also wonderful and true. Posting to the comment section of a blog is meaningless when compared to sending an email containing your thoughts inteneded for the author. Folks say very, very deep, true and honest things in one to one communications that they can’t say in a blog comment. I love that.”
Call my cynical, but the tone is that of perhaps a hippie(and I’m a very liberal person, hell I voted for Dennis Kucinich), or someone in a midlife crisis, or perhaps someone post stroke, maybe he’s been playing with model kits in a non-ventilated room, your guess is as good as mine. No offense but it’s like he’s living in a dream land. If he were writing blog pieces people could still email him from the blog if he so choosed to put up a contact form right at the bottom of each post or such.
Bottom line: Jason Calacanis if you’re really retired from blogging, more power to you, but why not stop blogging about being retired from blogging, seriously. I know blogging is addictive, and there are places that can help you with your addiction. (that last line was sarcasm, in case you weren’t paying attention…)

11Jul Calacanis Quits…Nobody likes a quitter Jason…
Jason Calacanis, one of the most influential bloggers on the scene right now, founder of Mahalo, exploiter of twitter and facebook, has announced he is going to quit blogging. What has the world come to? Eh, maybe it’s for the better.
I’m waiting to see a social network popup just around ‘betting’ whether or not he will come back to blogging. After-all I’ve quit blogging for a bit usually during the summer slow-down, but I always come back. For a true blogger, it’s almost an addiction, I can’t see how one can claim to completely give it up..but we will see.
After all Jason is known for link-bait scams, perhaps this is another one of his publicity stunts.
My personal message to Jason Calacanis: If this truly is the end for you, I tease, but I hardly know you, I regret not having the opportunity to get to know you better, or form any kind of relationship. I do however wish you the best of luck in any endeavor that you go to from here. Have a happy retirement!

17Apr Vic the Jackass, and the BANS(Build a Niche Store) SCAM. Get a FREE Niche Store NOW!
First off I call BANS a scam because it’s easy for just about anybody to do this for FREE, if you know how.
Stay tuned and I will show you how..
But first…
Have you heard of this guy(Dumbass) Vic over at Blogger Unleashed? (Apparently GarryConn isn’t too fond of him either)? Apparently a BlackHat SEO’er who had a breakdown running 12 companies…blah blah… crying a tear…
Have you seen this guy? Watch this video where he disses Caroline Middlebrook, be forewarned this guy doesn’t know how to use full sentences, his profanity is off the wall, and all around he’s probably the biggest jerk I’ve seen in the Blogosphere, oh yeah and he has a major stuttering problem or something.
You should definitely learn to speak if you’re going to do audio/video, perhaps write a script so you don’t have to say ‘uh’ ever other word…
Seeing this guy’s video makes me think he’s really blogging from his grandma’s basement where he and his girlfriend(mail-order bride, or possibly a blow up doll) live rent free.
Can he say ‘uh…duh…um…uh..’ anymore? He stuttered so much and used so many profanities I couldn’t even keep watching - it was putting me to sleep.
He makes it his goal to slam and smear every a-lister out there including: Darren Rowse, John Chow, Shoemoney, etc….
His SEO tactics are pretty easy to spot. Every post he writes he bolds his main keyword like 50 times in hopes of ranking high for that keyword. In this case Caroline Middlebrook.
Now back to BANS (Build a Niche Store). If you haven’t heard of BANS (Build a Niche Store) - It’s basically a ‘Made for Adsense Site’ only instead of Adsense - it’s the Ebay Affiliate Program.
He has written - many, many posts on using the Bans (Build A Niche Store) program. In fact he may have created the product for all I know - I was unable to find the owner’s name / info.
My point though, as one of the top marketers of this program, I could see his BANS money coming more from recommending the BANS program than actually building the sites himself.

10Apr When an April Fool’s Joke Backfires…
I recently joked on April Fools Day, about Problogger Darren Rowse going bankrupt.
The reason I picked that topic is because I admire Darren Rowse immensely.
I’ve been reading and following his blog for about 2 years now. I don’t think my own blog would be nearly where it is today, without all those great blog posts that he’s written.
To me - a fan of Darren, the most unthinkable thing that could happen is for him to go Bankrupt. If THE Problogger himself went bankrupt - what would that say about the industry? If he was really ‘faking’ it all those years, and all those blog posts. It’s unthinkable and unbelievable.
That’s why I used it as a joke, apparently someone thought it would be even funnier to add it to his Wikipedia page, which I agree may have been overstepping the line just a bit.
Mostly the post was an experiment to see which joke would get more interest, one about microsoft, one about Darren, one about Shoemoney, or one about John Chow (which I accidently forgot to post anyhow..lol).
Apparently, Darren is more popular and famous than microsoft.
To Darren: I do apologize if this has caused any hurt feelings, I do have a ton of respect for the work that you do, and I’ve used your blog postings to bring my current blog to 150 subscribers in less than 30 days, and 1200 hits per day.
I first found out about this via twitter - you can read another blog post on the subject here.
The original post which can be found here, will soon be edited to remove the main content and announce that it was indeed a joke.

04Apr Does your Blog Design Kick a** or is it Kicking your a**?
Blog Design is Crucial to Earning Money Online…
This is very much an opinion piece, as I’m sure many people have many differing opinions on this matter.
What is a good professional blog design?
For a professional blogger - monetization is paramount. Many might say this is selling out. To be able to Blog full-time, and devote more energy into blogging, is the goal at hand, am I right?
You also need to let your visitors know up front what your site is about. Yaro Starak, and pretty much every blog guru out there will tell you, that you need Pillar Articles.
Pillar Articles, are huge blog posts that get lots of attention, these are the posts that make it on Digg. They don’t always make it to the front page, but they do get perhaps 40+ Diggs, or a bunch of stumbles.
These are the best of the best - these are what your readers are coming to your site for. These are the meat of your blog, and if you don’t have any yet, then you might as well, close down shop, sequester yourself for a weekend and write up a few. It’s recommended that you have at least 5 Pillar Articles.
I recommend that you write at least 1 per week, at least for the first 3 months you’re blogging. After that you can lay off a little - but you have to be dedicated.
Once you have some great articles, also known as flagship content, you absolutely must post them out in the open for everyone to see.
As you can see, I use the popularity plugin by Alex King, to show off my most popular articles.Â
Advertisers want to be seen!
It’s pretty simple, those advertising on your site want exposure for their blog, product, website, or brand.
For direct advertising sales, it is best to put the ads above the fold. Don’t go overboard 4-5 ads should be plenty, 8 would probably be max. Unless your design supports it well.
Personally, my choice for ads is the 125×125. It’s nice and sleek, and fits most designs pretty well.
If they Subscribe - They Will Comeback (hopefully).
Next part of a good design, again in my opinion, is to have a good call to action subscribe area. (I’m still tinkering with one for my new layout..)
It is also a good idea to make sure your bases are covered, when it comes to getting subscribers.
You should have the following:
- Â An easy link to your feedburner feed. (I highly recommend using feedburner.)
- A Link to your comments feed. Some people like to read the comments as well - don’t neglect these people.
- An easy subscriber box so they can subscribe by email if they don’t have a clue what a feed reader is.
- Your subscriber count. Show it bold, and show it proud(unless you have less than 100 or so). The more subscribers you have, again the more clout your website has.
- Another tip is having a good catchy graphic icon is a great way to attract attention to your feed, and get subscribers.
Additional Nuggets of Wisdom(ok, so they might be chicken nuggets, but who doesn’t like chicken nuggets?!)
 Other than these basic principles, you want to try and make your blog not look too cluttered. If you’re going to use widgets be sure that they appear neat and orderly.
It’s better to go without the newest awesomest widget, if it makes your site look like crap.
Take these words in stride, I’m not perfect, and as I said this is open for opinions - as everyone has their own style, what say you regarding this topic?
Another thing to be aware of is the SEO of your theme, this isn’t as much a concern though as there are plugins that help with seo. my favorite SEO plugin is: wpSEO.
Another great seo plugin, that is highly recommended by many bloggers is: All in One SEO Pack.
 What say you? (My beloved readers & fans!)
Speaking of the topic, how do you think my site compares with A-listers like JohnChow or John Cow, Problogger.net, Shoemoney.com - etc? I’m always open for suggestions!
Also stay tuned, as I will be posting some of the best of the best professional themes that I come across.

Shoemoney Arrested and Tazed!
Jeremy Shoemaker, aka Shoemoney was arrested Sunday night, for “Riding a Bike Under the Influence”. Apparently, and I agree, he thought it was better to ride a bike to the bar than a car, so as to prevent himself from getting a DUI. He did not know it is also illegal to Ride a Bike under the Influence.
Two cops, watching the establishment saw him leaving, followed him for a mile and arrested him.
It also seems that the cops claim he was resisting arrest, and they were forced to Taze him.
Shoemoney, swares he wasn’t resisting, and had only had 2 beers to drink. Shoemoney is talking with his lawyers, as to whether he is going to file charges against the cops, for unnecessary roughness.

31Mar Problogger Darren Rowse - Is Filing for Bankruptcy! What are we to do?
UPDATE!!!! THIS POST WAS ONLY A JOKE.
Apparently someone posted it on Darren’s Wikipedia page, and all hell broke loose.
In order to keep seo continuity I won’t delete the post entirely - BUT I do want to let everyone know that it was just an April Fool’s day Joke. For all of those who say I was early. It was April Fool’s day in Australia at the time. Remember not everywhere in the world is sharing the same day / time that you are.
Apparently some have taken offense to this post, I do apologize to those, including Darren. I did not mean to defame your character or person. I hope this addendum to this post will prove that point.
Problogger is Bankrupt!
Darren Rowse, probably one of the most famous and talked about bloggers in the blogosphere is filing bankruptcy. Apparently, his blog has been a farce, and he was ‘faking it till making it’.
The truth is that he never was making it. The most he’s earned is $1000 in a month, which went to bandwidth fees, and server hosting. His wife is threatening divorce if he doesn’t call it quits.
He has spent his savings, and built up a lot in credit card debt, in order to be able to go to all the blogging conventions, and build up connections which he swore would make him rich, but never really delivered.
He states, that if I fail, then everyone does. Which makes sense since his blog is one of the most trafficked out there. He is the authority on making money blogging, and to find out the Authority is broke, is quite dis-heartening.
This truly is a sad day for blogging, as it - pretty much means that all of us trying to make money on this should give up and go home. Go back to school, or get a real job, at a factory or something.
Wait - why am I wasting my time writing this post then? I quit!

When an April Fool’s Joke Backfires… [...]

27Mar 7 Ways to be Best Buds with an A-List Blogger!
Wouldn’t it be nice to be best Friends with an A-list blogger? How about ten A-list bloggers?
1. Comment often - Commenting on A-List blogs is a good way to get your name in front of them.Remember they are regular people like you and me, the more they see your name, and see that you contribute to their site, the more likely they are to say yes when you try and offer a joint venture, or a guest post on their blog.
*One big tip on this make your comments stand out, build upon the original post, and make your comment provide extended value to their site, and even cite other posts that back up what you say, and you will soon become an authority.*
2. Follow them on twitter, and respond to them often, many of the A-list bloggers are on twitter, and contribute frequently.The bottom line is the more you provide to the conversation, the more they see your name, the more likely you are to get noticed.
3. Blog, blog often, and make it count. If you do happen to get noticed by an A-lister, it is likely they will subscribe to your feed, if you do receive their attention, you need to blow them away with great content so that they stay attentive to what you say.
Note this is often, just a good practice as it will ensure that you current subscribers stay very happy, afterall the more attention grabbing your blog, the more visitors.Even if you don’t build a ‘friendship’ with an A-lister, you may gain their attention enough to have them link to your blog, which will bring a lot of google-juice and traffic your way.
4. Diversify your efforts, as in all friendshipping efforts, you just may not be able to build rapport, they might not like you, something you said might push them away, or tick them off. Especially if you’re religious or political beliefs differ.
Don’t focus all your efforts on building rapport with one person, instead spread yourself across maybe 5-10 different high trafficked blogs that are relative to your content.You might make it a daily thing to post 1-2 comments per blog, or you could post like 5-10 comments per day on a different blog each day. For instance have monday be JohnChow, tuesday you might head over to Shoemoney, and wednesday might be Problogger Darren Rowse.
ONe more important tip - whichever strategy you implement, to be truly successful you MUST be consistant, the #1 cause of failure to any blog is failure to be consistant across the board.Blogging can provide a great income and be a lot of fun, once you get popular it can become a bit easier than starting out, but to get there is very hard work, consistant effort is a neccessity if you’re not willing to put in the hard work, then this business is not for you, and perhaps you should find something else that works better.
Harsh words, I know, but when you treat blogging like a business, it will begin to reap the rewards of a business.
5. Fake it till you make it! A lot of the stuff you blog about may be new to you, it may be confusing, you may not know all there is about blogging, or about plugins, or about social networks, and social media. The fact is you don’t need to know everything, but you need to act like you do - in a word. Confidence.
The “A” in “A-list” does not stand for Awesome, or A+ as in school work. It stands for Authority.
Whether or not you are an Authority on your Niche, you NEED to act like you are, and keep learning as much as possible, so that one day you will wake up and it will dawn on you…”Woah, I am an Authority, not just a BS’er!”
6. Your blog must say “I’m a professional Blog”.Here are a few tips for this:
- Must have your own domain name. It is true, some blogs have taken off from blogspot, such as Kumiko’s, but eventually even she wised up and registered cashquests.com.A domain name basically says that you’re here to stay(at least for a year, till it expires - hopefully you make it past that 1st year).A domain name also helps with search engine rankings, for your brand (and yes your name can be your brand like John Chow or if you’re name is overly popular you can brand yourself as anything you like, eg: Shoemoney).
Lastly, wouldn’t it be terrible if you could’ve been John Chow, but started out at blogspot, someone saw that you were becoming famous, and they went out and bought yourname.com. Sure they might sell it to you for a couple thousand dollars.
- Your blog design must be professional looking, it’s a wise idea to get a professionally designed blog theme - if you can afford it. I recommend starting out with a free one though, until your blog starts to take off, then purchase either a commercial one, or a custom.Also, here is a good post citing the pros and cons of pre-made blog theme vs custom blog theme.
- You need subscribers, the more subscribers to your feed, the more trust you have, and ultimately the more, professional you will appear.Check out what Dosh Dosh has to say about why you absolutely need to build your blog’s subscriber base.
- You must hold yourself to a higher standard.Nobody wants to communicate, follow, read, rantings of someone who is fast to start a fight, or demean someone.(Exception would be political blogs, where most of your readers are going to either support your same views, or be against - politics is one topic that can’t please all sides.
Though you can even be professional here, for instance, I usually refer to Bush in private as “the idiot”, “Dumbass”, “Retarded Drunk Monkey Boy”, but I might be a little more tactfull on my blog…or perhaps not(I’m using this as an example - and perhaps a sneaky way to vent & be unprofessional.))
- Don’t over-do the plugins or widgets.Yes you can have too many plugins.Widgets and plugins are great, they add a lot to your blog, but they can also break your theme, and some plugins can conflict with each other and break your blog for a time, which equals less visitors.
- Again I reiterate consistant effort, and you need a schedule for posting, which should include at least 1 post per day. Just figure you need at least 300-1000 posts to be on the level of the A-list bloggers, and if you post 1 a day, it might take you a whole year, maybe even two.Did you know to be on the level of Problogger (20,000 posts in 4 years!). That’s a bit much but you have to be posting consistently to measure up!Personally I strive for 2-3 posts per day or 14 minimum in a given week.
7. Last but not least, flattery goes a long way, as long as you’re sincere about it!You want to be sincere and let them know how much their tips help you, or you could simply link to their posts often, and re-iterate a lot of the things they say.
This might benefit you in pingbacks / trackbacks, but most importantly it is a good way to catch their eye, and let them know that you’re a reader.
Most professional bloggers want to make their readers happy, and knowing that you are enjoying their blog, linking to their blog, will catch their eye, and if they see something they like they might link to it.
One last bit of advice, if you do manage to become an Authority, think you have what it takes to guest blog on JohnChow, Shoemoney, Problogger, DoshDosh, etc… The best way to do it is write a list of topics you’re passionate about.
Write a sample post relating to one of those topics, be sure it includes lots of pictures as the best posts do use images in almost every post, (mine lack it sometimes because it’s hard to upload photos while I’m at work, and I usually write a lot of posts while on break. )
Your post needs to be extremely informative, and use a lot of line breaks, and be easy to read, as well as easy to scan. The more insightful, truthful, and witty the better. Adding humor is also welcome, but don’t go overboard.
Once you’re ready you should write up a professional letter and send it to their email if you can find it, if not submit it by their contact form, most of the top bloggers list at least one way or another to be contacted.
If you don’t hear anything back in 7 days, you should submit another letter, and ask them if they’ve considered your offer, if not - ask them if they could give you some tips on how you can better your chances of being accepted as a guest blogger(or insert another goal, if you want them to sponsor something, like perhaps your weightloss).
One last tip - give them love - digg their best posts, stumble a post if you like it, or share it on one of the many networks out there……And on that note, please do me a BIG favor and Digg this post. I would really appreciate it, and you’d definitely get on my good side.
Cheers!
