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. When I read the title of this blog post I thought to myself “pretty much every comment will start wit hthe line “I’m not a scammer”.

    I like to think that I am not a scammer, I only push products and services that I have used and have worked for me.

  2. Thanks for posting this one, Joseph! 🙂

    I get around 30-50 emails a day from internet marketers promoting their affiliate links and none of those programs work. 😉

    Anyway, what do you think of John Chow?

    Do you think he’s a scam (I hope not). He tells people he’ll tell them how to earn money but bloggers are complaining that there’s no article in his site that tells so.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    1. John Chow isn’t a scam, he’s gotten on and done quite a bit and he does make a huge amount of money. His main method of money is the affiliate marketing, and what he does is real. He’s just become hated for some reason???

      1. Well, I just hope he’s not.

        And I do hope the people telling he is one will get over it already!

        Bloggers are really getting confused >.<

        Anyway, thanks for the reply!

        🙂

        It's still an awesome post!

    2. Where you heard that information? Please tell me the link. I’m fans of John Chow and i’m sure he is for real. For simple evidence, he ever made a contest with thousand dollar prize. Of course he can’t pay for the winner if he have no good business.

      About spam email in your inbox, why not just unsubscribe or block the email?

  3. quite right peter….i keep myself away from scams and cheats whether it is blogging or any contests because in that way you do not get satisfaction.

  4. I totally agree with Peter, especially on number 2. It always to better to take the time to write something worth reading then put stuff out there to just put stuff out there.

    1. Quality article need a time to be made. If one blog can make more than 2 daily update, i have doubt that their using PLR or just rewrite other article. And that’s mean their are blogging scammer.

  5. articles that inspire, i like it.

    from my experience as a blogger is that we should write something useful, providing useful information and add insight.

    if we hold the above principle, I am sure our blog will be visited by the bloggers or other visitors.

  6. Nice article and happy me that i didn’t categorized as blogger scammer. Well, i’m only writing that what i actually do and i won’t tell lies. There is no good point of telling lies.

    And very agree about the point no.2. I ever subscribed in a blog with 3 daily updates. In my eyes, it’s not professional but like a spam.

  7. Karma exists on the internet. If you try to take advantage of ppl they will see right through you. Instead i think the way to go is provide value to your audience. Actually try to help them you know?

  8. Scamming will only get you nowhere. I agree, you must have quality content in your articles to attract readers not only for today, but also for the next days when you post a new article.

    I have also encountered e-mails on how-to-get-rich-quick schemes that are very suspicious. If it sounds too good to be true, then most likely it’s a scam.

  9. i even twitted this entry, it was true.. and i really doubt those email spammer when it comes to their program’s efficiency. if they’re allready big why sell those stuffs? and why does their site’s script sucks a lot? this post was really valuable and is truly informative. nice post
