Buy a
follower get a
comment free! And if you
buy me
for five years
you get a
discount. Let us
all make our
plus 1 desperation
a great way
to become rich
through blogging.
Yesterday I
read a
blog where I
got to understand
how following and
getting followed is
such a pain.
In my initial
days blogging and
all the things
associated with it seemed very
enchanting but soon …..it’s
like a love
affair. Or playing Farmville
on Facebook.
I remember
Farmville. First it was
great. I made
a farm. Then
planted all sorts
of vegetables in it,
eggplant, squash, strawberries…..and
then I had
to harvest them. Harvesting them
made points and
I got to
buy cattle and
a shed and
a airplane……it goes
on and on. Soon
the harvesting became a headache.
I had to
keep an eye
on the time
frame.
“What if my
eggplant is ruined? Withered?”
“Oh God! My egg
plants.” There had
been times I
had to get
up from my
sleep to harvest them.
Soon it took
away the one
thing I cherish
most : my mental peace
and for what? A
virtual eggplant!
Now blogging is
not just like
that but much
similar.
The first post
goes in. then I wait
to see if
anyone is reading
it. any hits?
Then who is
following me? no one.
Why? Add pictures.
The more stupid
the pictures the more
the views. So I add
pictures. That itself
takes time : to search the net
and copy paste other
people’s pictures!
I will follow you to the end of the world |
Then I read
somewhere you have
to follow other bloggers to
hope they will
follow you.
And then what
is the guarantee
that if you
follow others they will
follow you? No guarantee.
But I got
to try. So
I followed others.
A few followed
me but most
ignored me.
Of course
here I
was extending my
hand in following and
the other person
just ignored it. Shit!
It’s not like
someone is rejecting
your friendship, its
worse. They are
rejecting what you
blog about!
That’s real crappy!
So I tried
to analyze the
situation : you like what they
are writing but
they find you
uninteresting. Shit. Shit shit.
So what do
I do?
I try to
find out if there is
a button that
says unfollow. Oh yes there
is. So now I am thinking should
I unfollow this
person. ..this ungenerous selfish idiot.
“what does he/she
think? They are
better than us?”
“I am following
them but they
won’t?”
Man! People have
more respect for
stalkers.
Should I unfollow
or shouldn’t I? I will look cheap if I unfollow
people I am following.
But then they already think I
am
cheap. But again I can’t
be
that cheap.
And then
another idea hit me
: I should blog something
interesting to make them follow
me.
So I did
a research . I goggled.
And found the
topics that people
follow the most.
Food? Fashion? Lifestyle? Movie stars? Einstein? Blogging tips?
Now I got
to write about
these topics? Half of them
I don’t
even understand. Shit!
Not only do I have
to learn all these things, I have
to be on
this blogger thing
full time checking
who is following
me, how many
hits…..and I have
to write on hot
topics! I am so screwed.
If that is
not enough I have
to spam all the communities with
what I posted
on my blog!
And then there
are some who
have rules too! God!
people
mostly moderators really
know how to make my life difficult!
And if that
is not all my Gmail
inbox is full
of other peoples
blogging notifications! There are
more spammers that I
thought.
This one day I got
100 mails. Great at
least I am not
alone!
And then I have
to read their
blogs and like them and comment
on them. Not that
I love all
blogs but then
if I don’t
visit your blog
you won’t visit
mine. And if I don’t comment
on your blog then
you
won’t comment on mine!
This is
like me having
joined a mutual appreciation club! And
then
I have to think of
something spicy to
write everyday….If
I go on
this way for
a few days I
will
develop OCD. Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder ?
Blogging is worst than Farmville.
That harvesting and withering eggplants were better. At least I
knew
deep down inside
they were eggplants
but this is
my hard written sweat
blood work!
So in the
last twenty days of suffering
the Dilemmas I did
a little brainstorming
and find me
cheap or not,
these are a few options
open :
1. I am
hoping that Google
will make an
app that will
automatically make you
follow me if I follow
you.
2. if I like
you, you have to
like me
or you get
a minus point
in your Google
ranking.
3. if I leave a
comment on your
post you leave
a comment on
mine. If not
minus four points.
And if Goggle
cannot do that for
whatever reasons then I have
an idea: let’s
make a community of
Followers.
The benefits
for both bloggers
and followers :
1. we will
have a community of
followers. Where all
the people blogging
for the heck of
it can make
money.2. all the bloggers who are egomaniacs and love their blogs more than their money can become poor by buying us.
God bless this
world. I am
yelling here : buy me, I am
dying to become
a millionaire!
What will I
and my community of followers do
for you great
bloggers:
1. I am ready
to be bought
for 1$ per week. I will view your
blog as soon I
get the notification in
my mail.
2.I will
like your Blog for five
hundred dollars for
six months. There
is discount here:
if you buy
me for five years then
you will get
five hundred dollars
discount.
3. if you
are a voracious blogger
and post everyday just because
you have
nothing else to do
in life then
this will cost
your an extra
1000$ upfront.
4. if you want
that plus one
not on your
blog but on
that short spam
you are posting
on communities that will cost you only 250$ for six
months. There is no discount
for this.
5. Comments: I will
comment on your blog
too. But since the web
takes some serious
time to
open your
post and I will be
using my web
time this will
cost you more. 1000$ for
six months.
And please I request
this to be implemented at
the earliest and let all bloggers
like
me who are just doing
time pass join this
community
of
followers and make
quick money.
The requisites
and benefits for all in this
community of followers
are:
1. All you have
to do is
have a valid email address
and get notifications
from all communities.
Then keep adding
plus on every
post you see.
2.You should
have a great browsing speed because
opening
the actual post
will take some
time but still
it is worth the while.
Once it
opens add plus
one and make
more money.
3. Now
writing a comment
might look troublesome.
You have to read
the post and then
comment. No, not
at all. All you
have to do
is scroll down and
see the
comment section. What do you
see? Comments? Right? now randomly
copy words like brilliant, well
written, great…and all the synonyms and
past it!
4. Now there
must be lazy
fellows amongst us
followers? Like they
say necessity is
mother of all inventions
so let’s make
a software that if installed
will do all the
liking
and copy pasting.
So, Who is
interested to join
my community of
followers?
P.S: prices are negotiable.
i read the blogs i like anyway so i guess i could expand my interests. haha this sounds like fun. i can't do much else except physical therapy right now. i do have a few favorites that i am loyal to because i really like them. others i do not understand. some i can not relate to so i could do this as a hobby. and maybe get a little cash too. LOL i like this sight already.
