My apologies if anyone is actually reading this blog.

I’ll still throw in a bit of commentary between stodgy SEO posts that are intended to fatten this blog up for a few months before I redesign the shop and get things happening.

So basically . . . the conversation here sucks. Haha. It sucks all over the place. I’m pretty dissatisfied with the tone of the blogosphere right now. I don’t think all the people lining up to comment on the blogs of the world have a lot to contribute by agreeing so endlessly with each other.

I don’t think everything has to be agreed with. I think new things need to be said. I think it’s okay for me to be dissatisfied because it allows me to contribute my own ideas that may be valuable to others who feel similar if - gosh! I can only articulate my argument - my brand? - in the right way.

That’s why this stodgy SEO blogging and all these young parrots echoing their favourite blogger can’t continue to add much value to the blogosphere. Only top rate bloggers who are out there making statements about or with brands can create value beyond ranking high for keywords. Life must go on beyond the optimised keywords. I want to practically explore this at some point.

The marketing value of stodgy outsourced blogger at $5 a post vs. pro brand evangelist at $100 per post.

Y’know. The ROI on that. potential on that.

And so my brand may not be huge on participatory blogging. Blogging as part of a community. My ideas are around innovation, and execution, and basically rugged online ninja survival skills to sustain yourself online, I think this backpatting culture in online marketing is crap.

There’s the preppy social media and new media consultants. There’s the music bloggers and theorists. Random software, tech heads and app geeks. There’s the Guru’s, the MMO brats, shady black hats, the affiliate marketing jocks, the career girl bloggers, the pick up artists, the meme bloggers . . . and I’m stuck in the middle but I’ve learned enough to make decent cash.

And that’s what I want to talk about.

I shouldn’t be writing this blog. I shouldn’t be twittering . . . if I want to see half my best ideas make more money then I shouldn’t be mucking around when I know what needs to be done.

And it’s not blogging, or commenting, or greasing up other bloggers.

But I have to get my ideas out of my head. I have to get them where I can pull them apart and that’s what blogging is about for me.

So when the conversation sucks, talk to yourself.

Talk to yourself about what you see could be improved, what you don’t like, how you can maximise the best or most convenient part of what you do to further improve the value you provide.

I’m excited about ideas that make money, and how I’m learning to execute them quickly.  Often bloggin about stuff leads to new ideas.

I’ve had a couple of new ventures on the go mainly around international services that generate quick turnarounds on digital services. The New Zealand dollar has dropped significantly meaning i’m getting great money on overseas work.

And I’m sold on flipping sites. My plan of attack is this: Start 10 business sites this year, incubate them, fatten them up with stodgy SEO keyword articles and then flip them to some local noob as a working model of a web business. I don’t have a lot of experience, but if I slowly rear them up over a year I hope I can obviously at least double my investment.

Right now, I’m actually pretty overworked. I’m just coming to grips with the whole becoming an employer thing, I guess it’s the only way to get rich, or stop this whole situation form arising where I have to do the 12 hour slogs to meet commitments.

Do I even want to be rich? What happens after you make a million dollars? Not much I figure. I should really plan on taking my time.
