Comments on: Nothing Works Part 2 http://blogtactics.com/nothing-works-part-2/ Blog Setup and Optimisation Tutorials Fri, 20 Aug 2010 23:14:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: John Reed http://blogtactics.com/nothing-works-part-2/comment-page-1/#comment-2021 John Reed Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:47:08 +0000 http://blogtactics.com/?p=176#comment-2021 You're wasting your time and energy replying to Clive, unless you happen to enjoy trying fruitlessly to "do your bit" for the self-professed UNDERDOGS of someone else's society......... and I speak with experience as Clive and I regularly send one another Jokes etc (now that I've given up even thinking of changing his approach). If Clive's own words are to be believed then he's a Brit who wants to earn enough OnLine to return from Oz to UK!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I don't know about you, but I believe he must be the epitomy of the "Whinging Pom" and it's in our own interest to see that he never stands a chance of getting back here - it's gloomy enough without Clive's influence!!! I think that underneath it all he loves the raging heat, his Oz beer, maybe his cat or a parrot (I forget which now) and though he can't admit it to himself he doesn't really want to be here in UK at all - so his current negative ROI, in fact NEGATIVE EVERYTHING really just suits his aims down to the ground............ So, roll on Clive, but try keeping a bit of it to yourself mate, we prefer feeling positive, and if you keep polluting our Blogs/Forums etc with negative Sh**e we may just come over there instead to let you have the pleasure of a bit of creative negativity of our own........ you really shouldn't keep tempting us, most confirmed masochists take a more responsible attitude!! Be seeing you........

It took me 2 days to find a site that explained, in plain english, how to do excerpts. I went to wordpress first, but dang, you need to Einstein to follow that stuff, just a simple look for this and paste this here would do :shock: LOL I'm still new to backlinks, so I'll need help there. I think I'm on the right track with this list thing. I'll run this by you and see if I'm right. I know what my site is about and I know the type of "targeted" traffic I want, so I need to place products into categories that serve certain subscribers. For example, Internet Marketing Strategies. All products related to this category get placed here and the freebies and buy offers only go to those in my list for IMS. Correct? So when I have my autoresponder setup with all the emails and campaigns I need, I can sign up for giveaway sites and offer my free products to subscribers, like above, IMS. I hope this right, I've spent 2 days on it. LOL Thanks Matt. <a href="www.thebloggersestore.com" rel="nofollow">John Dufresne</a> Thanks for that Matt.

I read the blogs from Matt and Alex and Dean and Michael, I'm always finding new things I didn't know about and write them down to implement them asap, like, for instance, in the comments to Clive, I didn't know about adding your keywords to your post tags :shock: I just setup my site, but I haven't submitted my site to searches yet because I'm not quite ready for traffic. I'm still trying to figure out this autoresponder stuff and getting sales copy done. I will always need help and I trust on the advice Matt gives. Thank you Matt.

Yes, I still work a 9-5 J.O.B. (just over broke), but I keep plugging away learning, researching, experimenting, and the like. If I thought for one second that EVERYTHING out there on the internet was a scam and a rip-off, I'd have tossed my computer into traffic on a busy street long ago. I've NEVER in my entire 50 years of being alive ever seen anyone with enough negativity to sink an ocean liner... that is up until now. I'd like to toss my own slant on this into the ring, if that's OK. Clive, To be brutally honest... you're full of it. On one hand you scream at the top of your lungs "Foul", "Scam", "Rip-Off", and things of the like. However, on the other hand, any help that you've been offered, you've summarily dismissed as "Don't care how good the advice is, it can't possibly work". You seem to keep spending your money on courses, that apparently you "KNOW" won't work for you. Of course, that requires something known to the informed few as "Putting what you've learned into A C T I O N"... which is a word I don't think that you're all too well acquainted with (Shy of giving Matt a hard time, that is). I've always known that there are essentially 3 types of people in this world: 1. Those who MAKE things happen 2. Those who Watch things happen 3. Those who WONDERED what just happened. Now, my dear Clive, you've just created a fourth category (wow, you actually did something here... and it worked too!), Those who go out of their way to make sure that NOTHING HAPPENS. (Action? - yes. correct action? - you figure it out) I can understand that at times things don't go as planned. Even undertaking something that seems all easy on the surface, can have a few speed bumps that require addressing along the way. But to outright go out of your way to ensure complete and utter failure with all you seem to be doing, and then just laughing it off to go onto something else to toss into the trash heap, I really gotta hand it to you, In all my years, I've never come across the likes of someone like you. I will give you this though... if negativity could act like electricity, you'd be the central power plant. Actually, I'm also thinking that everything you've put out here thus far is just your way of grabbing some attention. albeit, the wrong kind. While I'm not the world's answer to mental health, I think that you may have some rather deep seated issues that really need to be addressed. Here's what I see from my own unique view-point. "What's the sense of taking a bath? I'm only going to get dirty again". "Why should I make the bed? I'm only going to mess it up again later". "Why should I bother eating? I'll only go to the bathroom and get hungry all over again anyway". "Why should I listen and apply your advice? I don't care that you're the expert, it couldn't possibly work for me or anyone else. Please re-load my gun so I can shoot myself in the foot". Clive, with all you've put on Matt's blog, I really think that you're pulling everyone's leg here with all this negative crappolla. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me at all if you were putting out all this crap just to glean the correct answers so you can harvest the info and compile it into an "E-Product" that you can sell to all those folks who don't visit your sites or read your blog posts and would NEVER consider paying you more than $20 for it. (... And I know that you'll NEVER do ANYTHING like this, because this I.M Thing DOESN'T WORK ANYWAY in the first place, does it?) End of soapbox speech.

He seems quite bright, can write well, but either doesn't apply any of the simple principles we all read about every day or is actually just a Nom de Plume who is making money whilst enjoying a laugh at our expense for believing his persona!! He can't be surprised at making no money because that's what he sets himself up to receive - eg, according to him he has put up Blogs but "never goes back to add more posts". Now, I've been guilty of that too, but I KNOW what the result is going to be and don't moan about it!! I think he is a genuine guy really, but he has a total blank when it comes to taking helpful advice and I now try NOT to waste my time sending him any!!! Check other Forums and Blogs and you'll find him around, he just oozes total, hopeless negativity and should be avoided ........... my opinion, and I've earned the right to express it!!

Thanks. Now on to Clive, If I had just happened across this blog, I would have swore you had paid someone to be Clive, how can Clive always be so negitive all of the time :?: I have not had much success but I HAVE HAD SUCCESS :grin: With this success I know I can grow this, make more blog posts, leave comments on blogs, drive some traffic through these comments, I will make more sales in the coming months, who knows I might even be able to pay someone to leave comments on likeminded blogs for me to get it up the SERPs. I have recently done a Skype interview, that I have to transcribe, I might transcribe it myself as it is only 20 minutes (what can I say it is my first product!) or pay someone $30 or so (Boy, am I glad I live in the UK :wink: ). Then I offer the transcript for $5 to $10 with the audio as an upsell for about $10 I would love to hear what you think I shoud do? Talk later Hugh Hi Matt,

If they're nothing too special, just put a $7 price tag on there and people will buy them. That's a hungry market. Then rinse & repeat as they say.
