I just wanna add that in contrary to what you mentioned about ‘outsourcing blogging’ making the blogs or the blogger somewhat impersonal, a blogger would actually be more impersonal if they are inundated with the blogging chore itself! Busy people who don’t have time to socialize or interact with others beside their same-niche peers or small circle of friends, simply means that they haven’t made enough money, or failed to manage their time properly.

Read this post and tell me what you think about it:

Me personally, although I manage hundreds of web hosting customers, I still have time for personal email with strangers, new projects, offline meets (not just related to business), not-for-profit chores, educational seminars, academic classes, blogging about my hometowns etc.

And btw, Suhaimy who wrote the tip at above post, surprisingly replied to an email from me (who happens to be a ’stranger’ to him — we’ve practically never interacted before) in minutes!

(48 hours wait would be acceptable though — people at MDeC are even worse at replying emails, and they are supposed to help local IT people!)

Jenny, nice to find you post. In fact, I was pondering about these very facts too earlier today. It looks like I’m not alone having sensing bad vibes from some of these self-portrayed big money-making guru, marketers or bloggers. It seems that some of these infopreneuring or internet marketers (unlike MLMers or people of other many other business niches, both online and offline-based) prefer to be just among their like peers. Unless of course, if you buy one of their products. Otherwise, you’re nobody to them, because, supposedly people are lining up to buy more of their products, and they need not treat you individually.

One blogger even wrote a full post on “how to interact with Internet marketers”! — Supposedly what to do and what not to do when trying to get in touch with them ‘online stars’. If the tips come from a third party individual, I’d respect such tips, but when they come from not-yet-somebody who claims authority for giving people’s to-the-face advice, I think it’s damn rude, especially if they ever consider to be a businessperson.

I’ve read another web article today about Entrepreneurs 2.0 — they’re supposed to be humble. Many money-making IMers, instead of showing humbleness, seem to brag too much instead — they definitely are not 2.0 then. I remember how infopreneurship was huge in the USA in 2001-2004, and it’s been huge in Asia perhaps in 2005-2007. It’s a matter of time before people in Asia also will also have enough of infopreneurship hypes.

I however don’t agree with your suggestion that new money-making dreamer should not blog about their money-making trial-n-error adventure. I think that they should go ahead and blog about their true experience, and only then can they harvest as much advices from other otais (old-timers) or people of related expertise. It’ll only become a problem if they are to only absorb everything that are given to them by these otais instead of coming up with their own innovations.

Talk about videos, have you yourself published some up??

Yeah…I agree with what you said. Merely quoting others without writing your own willl not get you anywhere in making money online.
As a new blogger, I’m having a tough time earning from blogging. But I believe this will only come when good contents are there, bigger audiences and better ranking of blog.

Thanks for the article. Good points. Cheers.
