Moving To Twitter, Less Blogging, etc.
July 22, 2009 by: adminTime to make a post kind of detailing the huge change that I posted a week or two back about “moving to Twitter”. First I had a small message in place of this blog, but after realizing that was stupid, a pop up will suffice. I just took that down too, most people should have seen it by now anyway.
As a preface, just go sign up for Twitter and follow me. You may think Twitter is stupid and you want no part of it, but I’ll be sharing tips there so you might as well at least join to follow me and some of the other guys that post useful information.
So. I started uberaffiliate a while back when I actually started seeing success with affiliate marketing. I wanted to share my success and experiences so others could learn from it, while also building a name for myself. Both of those things worked out great I think. Good name, bad name, sellout, good advice, fake advice, whatever anybody wants to call it…this blog has been great for me and for most people.
Over time though, you do start seeing the people claiming “bad advice, sellout, etc.” more…it’s natural. And this post isn’t to bitch and moan, it’s to explain. After a certain point in time, blogging just got repetitive. And that was natural, a person can only write about so much before they start to go over what they’ve already talked about. So instead of my long articles on how I have a good Adwords quality score every other day, every other post turned into something not so significant (knowledge wise). People start moaning about that, blogging loses it’s lacquer, posts become infrequent as well as partially useless (aside from a few good posts I’ve had lately).
I wind up talking to Dr. Ngo at 1am a couple weeks ago just talking about whatever, and one of us brought up how I haven’t really been blogging at all anymore. That’s when he said “You should just start Twittering instead of blogging”. I started thinking about that, and it seemed like a good solution. Nothing good was coming from my blog frequently anyway, and Twitter was really easy to use. It kind of provides a more “real” feel too, as I could talk about my campaigns and projects as they’re actually happening. That’s when I thanked Ngo for the idea, and the next day is when I put that page up in place of uberaffiliate.com.
Fast forward to now. Taking uberaffiliate down in general was stupid, I’d have to move the archives and lose my SEO and whatnot…newb idea my bad. I’m tweeting a lot now and I’ll admit, I do like it a lot. It’s a lot more social than the blog which I like, and if you really dig into it you can get some decent tips from people.
About blogging? DoshDosh has the idea. One kickass post every month or so. No pressure to blog every day, no pressure to always find something new to write about, just one major topic every month to really cover. I already have an idea about my first post I’d do like that, so maybe we’ll see something like that soon.
As a wrap up, I’ll be tweeting every day still and I’ll be there more than here, but I will still be blogging every now and then., just understand the posts will be spread out a pretty decent amount. Going to save all the off-topic talk for Twitter.
That is all.
