Firstly this doesn't apply to everyone - but at the same time it applies to a lot. I posted this in someone's blog comments after they recently posted an article about "not just copying what successful bloggers write about". At the time I was in a ranting mood, largely because I go through my RSS reader everyday and it annoys the hell out of me when I see 5 bloggers post on the same topic with the same garbage instead of contributing an original idea to the world. Anyway, I thought it was worthwhile sharing with DP because I think it plays a large part in achieving success online. It relates to the way so many people or out there who are wasting there time trying to tell other how to make money online with things like AdSense when they themselves aren't even making more than a couple of dollars a day, and I have seen a lot of members here on DP do it as well when they really should be focussing on providing fresh, original, and useful content in less competitive industries, preferably something they are experts in. So here are my thoughts on the issue: This is something I’m personally really growing tired of, and I’m going to sound harsh here, but there so many "try hard experts" out there regurgitating what they have seen on their idols blogs and in a bid to grab there own little bit of market share in the make money online industry and so often to not be lame these "try hard experts" try to add more to the topic but rarely have the experience or expertise to add anything meaningful to the original post and only recently I have seen a couple examples of these wannabes sometimes regurgitating the ignorant myths that so many rookies believe or don’t understand making them look even more like wannabes. LOL - I’m really sorry to rant but I haven’t started my own personal blog (yet) purely because I don’t believe I have the right to get out there and preach to the masses unless I’m already walking my talk, and bare in mind I already earn well over a full time income off the net ($10000+ in March) and I have over 200 blog post ideas that haven’t been done to death in my notebooks. Many of these blog posts are ideas and techniques I have never even seen implement on sites or seen spoken about in blog posts. So I definitely plan to contribute a lot of fresh and original content to the blogosphere, which I don’t think many bloggers seem to enter the blogosphere with the intention to do these days. So it annoys me when I see new average joe’s who are earning their $4.20/day feeling like they need to start a blog in a bid to make another $2/day and share their expertises (or lack there of) on how to achieve success online (which they have never achieved), and where I say share “their†expertise I really mean “just essentially paraphrasing the experts each day without true understanding or experience†and without adding anything to the debate or topic. It annoys me even more when people that ARE earning good livings online already but want to try and develop a presence in the online webmaster industry as an expert, but feel they need to post once a day, which often leads to them essentially paraphrasing posts of other high profile bloggers or other well known and obscenely regurgitated information which again is adding nothing to the blogosphere and just wasting theirs and other people's time. It’s just sad because if they were committed to creating a reasonable site on a topic they enjoyed other than something to do with being a webmaster they might actually find some pretty big success because they wouldn’t be competing with the best and brightest internet marketers. I dunno what you think but that makes much more sense to me. It makes so much sense to me that I often consider not starting my blog related to internet marketing at all - purely because I can just make so much more money in the industries I’m already in. So why can’t other people see this? I know I'm not the only one that feels this way Wolf Howl recently made mention that "SEO Bloggers" should stop reguritating already well known facts, but it doesn't just apply to the SEO industry it applies to SEO, AdSense, Affiliate Marketing etc - pretty much all industries related to being a webmaster. I think many people thought Graywolf was only trying to get the "try hard experts" out of his industry for his own personal gain, and even if that was his intention, he would have been helping them anyway because it would have meant they were investing their time into other no doubt more lucrative projects. So if you are one of those people out there wondering why they can't make the thousands of dollars are making are you asking the question: "Is what I'm making REALLY fresh, original and useful to lots of other people?" Now don't let yourself off the hook and say "sure it is useful" without answering is it fresh and original - because people love learning - they HATE re-reading. So the question again is: "Is what I'm making REALLY fresh, original and useful to lots of other people?"
