Are You A Blogging Scammer?

This is a guest post by Peter from Ideas Bubble raising a question: Are You A Blogging Scammer?.

We’ve gotten used to all those scam emails that come into our inbox every single day trying to sell us horrible products that are way to good to be true.

Aside from all those rubbish products, the same is actually quite true for blogging. Are you a blogging scammer?

Writing blog posts that you say will change others as bloggers. Those amazing topics and discussions that sound so good and important, and yet have nothing and do absolutely nothing at all.

Blogging is about standing up to an expectation that is of true quality and writing something that might be of value to someone. What about you? Do you write rubbish content that no one can actually do anything useful with.

People, especially bloggers and internet marketers are constantly trying to sell you their secret success tips that are not completely true. They try and tell you how to make a million dollars from affiliate marketing. The truth is, most of these are scams and the people who are publishing them probably have never actually made a single cent from their blogs and are hoping that through fooling you they will make some money. This is their million dollar secret, Scamming.

Scamming Won’t Get You Anywhere…

Scamming (in the blogging sense) actually achieves nothing and if you want to build up a readership of people who actually care about your blog then you need to avoid this disaster as it will not get you anywhere. All the successful and rich bloggers used conventional and proper means to attract readers. But you will never reach this stage if your blog is a scam.

Here are some tips towards finding out whether you are on the right path towards successful blogging or just another try hard attempt at making yourself something worthwhile out there in the blogosphere.

1. Trash The Poor Quality Promos:

A great way to attract readers towards subscribing to your email newsletter is to provide a free, pulled together eBook in 2 minutes  which is supposedly meant to deliver big on something but when they read it does absolutely nothing for them and wasn’t even worth providing the email.

Then are the big end eBooks scams that serve the purpose of luring people in. They have no intention of doing anything, just getting a few extra mailing list subscribers. Do you honestly think that bloggers are dead set on helping people by giving away their eBooks, No, they have ulterior motives. If they truly where then they would give away what they write for free, without asking for an email or a subscription.

2. Write Only Of The Best:

The best way to write the best quality content is to avoid writing so frequently. Absolutely no one is that active in their minds to be able to write blog posts daily that are of good quality but also timeless.

Reducing posting means you can focus on writing better content that is actually worth reading. Instead of writing and publishing once you are done, reducing how often you post down by one extra day means that you can spend that time working on improving that post. In the long run, you will always end up with something better.

3. Only Write To The Same Level As Yourself:

So many people think that they are experts in their field. And then you get the scammers who try and show off as though they know so many skills, the people who try to teach you how to make a million dollars through blogging.

The best way to look professional and avoid looking like a scammer is to live up only to what you know yourself at. This means, don’t try to tell people how to make a million dollars through Google Adsense if you’ve only made few hundreds dollars. People think they know how to teach you to be rich when they have no skill at it themselves because they are not even rich. Don’t tell people straight lies and you wont look like an absolute scammer through your blog.

Conclusion:

The best way to make yourself look like a professional blogger that readers can actually trust is to avoid doing poor quality blogging jobs that are so obviously rubbish.

All the emails and scams we get in our daily lives have taught us to pick out what is quality and not.

If you are a blogging scammer you will fit into the no quality area and never succeed at blogging.

The more you focus on providing something worthwhile, the further you will go in the long run.

  1. Really great post Peter,

    I am definitely not a blogging scammer because scamming won’t take me anywhere.

    The real joy of blogging is in providing value and when you launch or promote a product you will be amazed to see people respond!

  2. you have been talking a lot about rubbish content, now i am forced to talk about it. My question are very simple! 1. If someone is very interested about Blogging but he is not that good in English? Why do u consider those blogs as rubbish content. Well, In my view everything depends on interest not only the knowledge ‘how much that person has gained’. You are good in English, but that doesn’t mean that your are providing good content. Stop blaming other and concentrate what you have to do. There are many people who wants to blog but dont know much English. At least you should be proud of them, even English is not their mother language but at least they are trying to blog. If you dont agree with me then you can ***CENSORED – Please Don’t Use Abusive Language. Everyone is free to comment but not in that manner. – Typhoon***

    2. “Please Don’t Use Abusive Language. Everyone is free to comment but not in that manner.”
      Exactly…
      Your trying to abuse me using some petty language and then tell me that i don’t support the bloggers that have english as their second language. I never said that!

      And yet you can’t even provide a link back to your blog so obviously you have nothing better to offer.
      Next time, actually prove to me that you have something to offer and not just winge about other people’s writings when you can’t even stand up for your own.

  3. hey Peter, although I agree that there are a lot of these scam type blogs, not all of them are. I promote and teach others through my blog how to promote affiliate products properly.

    Not everything can be free. although I agree a lot of what people publish is rubbish, readers also need to learn how to determine if they are being scammed or not. It is a sad but true fact of life that scammers are out there. That has been true for thousands of years, and it won’t change.

    I think part of the problem is so many of the fake experts telling people that you have to be an expert to do anything. I never claim expertise, and in fact downplay my expertise regularly. Yet I get a lot of people coming to my blog all the time.I share what I do know and what has worked for me. I do hold back for my list subscribers, but they get even more value than the people who just come to the blog.

    My list subscribers get more high quality content, free reports which will tell them how to do something, and I will often promote a product through that report, but they still get a lot of value from the report. one thing that I was told early on, and try to remember is to ask yourself “If someone reads this and never buys through me, did they get something that they can use?” IF the answer is no, then you need to go back to the drawing board.

  4. Nope i am one of the real bloggers in Forex Related industry and i have experienced the same bombardment of emails related to get rich scheme in forex. Funny part they manage the blogs as if its serious business niche.

  5. Very interesting post. I really like your thoughts. The scamming all around us and also in blogging. There are only few people who are earning thousands of dollars and then teaching others like john chow etc. But most of other people are just trying to sell their dumb stuff.I agree that genuine and great quality posts cannot be created very frequently like daily. Thanks for good post 🙂

  6. Waiting to write a blog post is vital because you’re absolutely right – when people write every day you have to wonder what real-world experience are they truly bringing to the blog.

    If you take the time to pick up a few additional skills, learn a little bit more about your subject and put it to the test you’ll be able to give a much more valuable post than just throwing out theory, ya know?

  7. I think you are right, there are many people out there who just scam telling that they will help you earn millions of dollar online but while on the other hand they have even hardly earned a penny from the same method. I think all these kind of bloggers do is just lie around to increase the quantity of their posts.
    One should give time and write a quality post even if he needs to wait a few days.

  8. “The truth is, most of these are scams and the people who are publishing them probably have never actually made a single cent from their blogs and are hoping that through fooling you they will make some money.”

    Amen brother! I see so many articles being written about how to make huge chunks of money, when there are only a slight few actually making enough money to pay the bills. I think if a person really wants to make money online they need to develop an offline business and use their online expertise to make the real money.

    Nice post Peter! 😉

  9. Ok, gotta know what plugin is being used that links phrases within my comments to another source. I can see all sorts of good uses of that for my own blog.

  10. I totally agree it is absolutely no good getting those scam emails every day. Its all about building trust with your visitors, and giving them quality content. and once you have built that trust they will always come back.Thanks for the post it is a reminder to us all!!!
