You asked “Where exactly does that say you shouldnt blog?” It said that in the subject line of the email he sent out – Why Blogging Is A Massive Mistake.

I think the premise of his argument against blogging is fundamentally flawed in that he’s really commenting on the type of content on the site, not whether or not it is running on a blogging platform, but to me that subject line clearly says you shouldn’t blog.

After all, it’s a “massive mistake.” If it’s a massive mistake, I shouldn’t be doing it, correct?

You said “So to all you bloggers out there….how much do you REALLY make from your blog? Hands up if you make a good full time income from it.”

I suspect if you asked the same question of SBI owners you might get a slightly higher number that are than you would from people with blogs but that’s mainly because the cost of entry is higher. There would still be a large percentage who don’t.

If the cost of SBI were as low as it can be for setting up a blog, the failure rate would probably be the same. Many of those failures are people who aren’t willing to put in any real effort or work. They don’t fail because of the platform they’re using, they fail because of their own lack of effort.

Your comment has some good points but unfortunately you lost my support with this:

“I have to agree with the lemmings comment however….thats all most of you are. Because I doubt if some of you have the intelligence to actually read AND comprehend the meaning in that article.”

If you’re going to argue your point successfully, you should really stay away from name calling and flaming, even if others have done it already.

Kind regards,

Erwin.

I repeat, Rosalind did not say that Ken is useless or clueless, Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ken’s name is linked to Ken’s site/article.

Will someone please explain how people can derive ‘Ken was completely useless and clueless’ from my post.

I think it’s fairly obvious that I don’t agree with what he said about blogging, bloggers or commentators (as he puts it) and said so in no uncertain terms.

That’s it, that’s all.

If you find SBI a good system that works well for you… stick with it by all means. They’re all good methods… but only when you put them to work.

Cheers,
Ros

Ken’s name is linked to Ken’s site.

One would think that turnabout is fair play, however you will see that the links to BlogClassroom were stripped out of comments on his forum.

The subject line of his email was ‘Why Blogging Is A Massive Mistake! –> 5 Pillar #317′.

Anyway, I agree that you probably shouldn’t blog… and the reasons are pretty obvious.

I realize that perhaps I crossed the boundaries when I published the last comment and I do apologize for this, it certainly was not my intention. The fact is both You and Ken are incredibly successful and many are trying to duplicate your success. I have no doubt that blogging is successful, you are proof of that but you have been at it a long time, can we duplicate your system, I don’t know, I find wordpress to be confusing, but then again, I am still considered a newbie, not quite a year under my belt. I just don’t understand to be honest, I thought you guys were friends. I think you both offer tremendous value to newcomers, however, some of the comments here are bit one sided, as though Ken was completely useless and clueless. I do know that these are not your thoughts personally. Like I said you both have many years on us and knowledge, and perhaps someday I will too.

This was the opening headline, that seems to be overlooked. “Should You Full Blog? For Most Small Business People…
“Full-Blogging” Is the Wrong Choice To Build a Business”

Where exactly does that say you shouldnt blog? I have to agree with the lemmings comment however….thats all most of you are. Because I doubt if some of you have the intelligence to actually read AND comprehend the meaning in that article. So you use some biased blog posts to make your mind up for you instead.

I like this comment by highway star. “Okay, so he has built an empire showing dumb folks how to built crappy web sites, so who gives a hoot about his comments.” I certainly dont consider myself dumb (neither does anyone who knows me) and my websites arent crappy either. I make a very comfortable living from them.

I dont blog, not because someone says I should or shouldnt, but because I choose not to. So to all you bloggers out there….how much do you REALLY make from your blog? Hands up if you make a good full time income from it.

For every person that raises their hand, there is another 99 who dont. And those 99 are the ones who might benefit from having a content based website, NOT a blog. IMO.
