Why Bloggers Suck

So being in the blogger industry, you can’t help but scope out other blogs in your niche and see what they’re all about. Well, most of them in the affiliate marketing area suck, and here’s why.

Shoemoney A.K.A. Baldmoney

Shoemoney is marveled as one of the greatest MMO dudes/bloggers out there, and his blog has over 20,000 subscribers. Go to Shoemoney if you want to learn absolutely nothing about affiliate marketing but learn all about Jeremy’s top picks for the next UFC site. It’s also cool if you want to waste 2 minutes every Retarded T-Shirt Friday to look at Shoemoney’s ugly self wearing a t-shirt. The ultimate clan leader for all noobs, all hail Shoemoney.
 
John Chow A.K.A. John Chicken Chow Mein

Chow is another massive blogger and proclaimed “super affiliate”, and is another real winner if you want affiliate marketing tips. About 90% of his posts are crappy product/service reviews that are pretty much useless, and then another 8% are posts with pictures off all the egg fu young he’s eaten this past week. The remaining 2% are posts that won’t help you, making Chow’s blog virtually useless.
 
SuperAffiliate Mindset A.K.A. SuperAffiliate Look At Me I’m Considered a Sultan In India!

Furreal bra, nobody cares that $500 can buy you the royal suite in India, and truly nobody cares that Google sent you a mini fridge for Christmas because you were a good boy and spent $10k with them.

Go to SuperAffiliate Mindset if you want the mindset to do nothing but brag about the money you make. Wahoo you’re an affiliate marketer that has a little money, so are a lot of us but we don’t make it a point to tell everybody EVERYTHING we have and EXACTLY how much it costs. I suggest reading Amit’s blog if you really feel like just having the urge to punch somebody who is overly pompous.
 
Zac Johnson A.K.A Little Johnson

ZJ is the perfect example of somebody who made a little money back in the day and uses that as his platform into making all of his income via a blog. His big post was how he was a genius for making $800k profit on Myspace with Yahoo Publisher Network 3 years ago. It makes no sense to me how that qualifies him to write a “Super Affiliates Guide to PPC” when he openly admitted at Affiliate Summit earlier in the year that he really doesn’t do PPC. So basically the big secret is making some money with YPN back in the day, starting a blog, and then doing nothing but promote affiliate network referral links and make $5k a month from your blog.
 
NickyCakes A.K.A. My Name Is Super Gay?

The e-rivalry between Nicky and Uber is so great that it is sometimes said that they’re actually really good friends outside of their blogs. Not. Nicky and Uber should definitely just fistfight but it’d probably be hard because all of the Wickedfire sheeple that worship Nicky would revolt and come at Uber with pitchforks. Uber thinks that’s really funny and he really likes affiliate marketing. Uber also likes long walks on the beach and promoting green tea.

Notice how gay talking in the third person is? Welcome to the blog of NickyCakes, talking in the third person, bashing people, promoting Advaliant for their green tea offers and playing CoD4 seems to be Nicky’s life. My guess is that he’s on high dosages of medication and when he forgets to take them, he blogs.
 
UberAffiliate A.K.A. GooberAffiliate

Uber is your textbook “hasbeen” in the realm of affiliate marketing and affiliate marketing blogs. He goes with the classic “fake it til you make it” method of posting some 300k screenshots of his Azoogle account to gain subscribers, make a few good blog posts to keep them there, and then try and make his living by pitching GooberCamp to newbies. He doesn’t post as much anymore and has basically ran out of tips to post because he’s extremely outdated. “I’m totally unsubscribing” is the most common comment.
 
Click Consultants A.K.A. Click to be Scammed!

Click Consultants has a blog like every other one out there trying to teach affiliate marketing to newbies. He even charges for private consulting and a paid forum! Well it’s a shame he made a post with his “earnings” that was legitly proven to be fake. He never made any post in his defense and has openly admitted to another person I know of faking it. If you go through the blog, you’ll notice that every single post is common sense stuff, rendering you confused as to if he really knows anything about affiliate marketing in the first place?
 
Jonathan Volk A.K.A. Jokeathan Volk

Wow, another affiliate marketing blog! By the time you get to Volk, you just get completely bored. It’s information every single one of us has seen probably five thousand times, making us learn absolutely nothing from visiting his blog. He had his little earnings graph up but it looks like he took it down, I guess he finally came to his moral self and got tired of lying to everybody. I have nothing to say about Volk except ZZzzZZzzzzzzz…
 
Tyler Cruz A.K.A. Tyler Cruz to the Top Blogging Instead of AM!

It amazing me how many people subscribe, comment, and waste their time with blogs like these. At least the guy is honest with the fact that he doesn’t make squat with affiliate marketing, but it seems like the flood of newbies doesn’t really understand that. Cruz is one of the blogs that I never ever really have looked at, but looking over it for 5 minutes you can tell that he’s very similar to Zac Johnson, and will continue to make a few pennies repping MarketLeverage and blogging about crap that won’t make any of us any more money.

 

If you weren’t on here, congrats! Your blog is either so awful I’ve never even seen it, it wasn’t worth bashing, or I got too lazy and tired of writing to continue. Moral of the story, don’t waste your time with blogs people, just get out there and do it. Three cheers for linkbait!

    Amit offers what anyone who is serious about this business should already know. Of course its solid advice. So is “brush your teeth” and “don’t have sex with farm animals or monkeys.”

    That doesn’t make him “super” and it doesn’t make his blog worth the time it takes to read it unless you are a) not actually doing anything related to internet marketing so you can’t possibly have figured it out already or b) a farm animal.

    Because people with something worthwhile to say typically don’t say things unless they have something worthwhile to say.

    Lesson #1) he who blogs daily hasn’t actually done anything worth blogging about today.

    Lesson #2) wait for a couple of weeks until I have something useful to say.

  3. September 10, 2008

    haha, pretty funny.

    You fools! Paul is friends with all of them. He giving all the blogs a link back and a review. It looks like bashing but in essence he is boosting his ratings to get more subscribers and at the same time promoting these other blogs. This is a really clever marketing strategy. A win-win situation for all blogs.

  12. September 11, 2008

    this is fukcing hilarious :D
    and i agree with the most of the points.. the blogs are all “not good” except for a few useful posts

    The day I started making money online was the same day I stopped reading these ‘make money online’ blogs.

  14. September 11, 2008

    Link bait isn’t great when you announce it to everyone, but hey i’m sure it worked.

  15. September 11, 2008

    ha ha ha

  16. September 11, 2008

    Hilarious, all of the stereotyping that’s been going on in the industry in one post. From what I’ve seen, most of those are personal blogs as well as affiliate blogs and people always get pissed when someone posts something personal.

  19. September 11, 2008

    Shoemoney and JohnChow suck hard, others like zac and tyler are good!

  20. September 11, 2008

    Funny. I’ve been making a live online since late 1997, I don´t even write a good english but I’m sure I’ve made more than most of all this bloggy crap together. I’ve never had a blog and will never have one. Most bloggers are just inmature kids like the owner of this one in search of some pathetic notoriety. Real winners spend their time working and they don´t need notoriety, family, friends, and their bank accounts are enough to fill their egos. Have you heard about REAL PROFIT, poor bloggies? this is something you can´t see in a check screenshot, fake or real..

    Most of us know this, (you fool) It doesn´t change a word, by the contrary, it only shows what are those kids ready to do for a few back links.

  24. September 12, 2008

    hahahaha what a list…i expected nickycakes to talk and he did lol.

  25. September 12, 2008

    Funny how I started thinking the same thing about you Paul . You are going back to your usual self of posting good shit though. Keep it up.

    September 13, 2008

    lmao. that was great!

    I rarely browse affiliate blogs anymore except this one because i just don’t see the point. Internet marketing is a simple science really. Hardest part is just getting started imo.

  28. September 14, 2008

  29. September 14, 2008

    Good thing that I am not mentioned there lol … must be because I am unknown in the blogosphere lol…

  36. September 20, 2008

    Operation link bait has officially commenced.

  37. September 22, 2008

    You raise some very good points. Some of these blogs are frustrating.

  38. September 25, 2008

    I love Shoe Money. His content is really good. Good post

    I totally agree, SHoe Money is so useless, he should just change his blog to UFC, that’s all he talks about with his ugly ass bald fat dumpy flabby self!

    I learned squat from Shoemoney!
