Are you like me, an ordinary blogger who wants to market online without being too much of a b!tch? We all know about being competitive and the cut throat stuff that people stoop down to just to get a few bucks on their paypal. I thought to myself, if only there’s a way that I can keep my sweetness without trolling on others (like some people do). Then I searched sweetie internet marketing on google and found this report.
I’ve been reading Internet Marketing Sweetie for a while now, and I learned a lot. You can say that it helped me keep my disposition, despite that some people try to put me down. For the faint of heart, internet marketing is still for you. DO NOT stoop down to the level of those who tried to put you out of business with their meanness.
Only for sweet hearted people who really want to earn online. Like me, I know you’ll learn something.

Before I post something about say, “dating online”, I go to the search places and type in my title to know if I have competition for it or how many people have other ideas. I can link them later if they have a nice quotable quote.
I did find a lot of related posts over the blogosphere, but it’s very sad that some blogs have not been updated lately. The latest posts date back to 2002 or 2000. These are abandoned blogs and I want to save them!
First I look if the blogger has a contact page, then I send a polite mail asking if he wants to sell his blog. Sadly, not one contact page is present. I go over the comment section and try to put in my two cents, but I’m greeted with hundreds of spam comments that haven’t been moderated at all. (When was Akismet created again?)
Anyway, it’s very sad. It’s like the blogger just didn’t want to share his experiences with the world anymore. I really dread the day that I get blog burnout. With 4 blogs in tow, that’s a lot of blogosphere clutter. :D
I hope a blog adoption movement gets done soon in some of the blog places. Like blogspot.

I know what you must be thinking, believe me that’s not what I mean.
This is just another strategy for preventing blog burnout. Recalling a post about blog triggers, and how they can help alleviate bloggers’ block, I see events of the year as other triggers that bloggers can use to post worthy content.
At the risk of being similar in content to the rest of the blogosphere, I suggest a twist to this method of posting according to calendar events. This particularly applies to personal blogs.
1. Instead of writing about Christmas for the rest of December, make inspirational posts and run a series for the rest of the dates surrounding Christmas. Only put ‘Christmas’ as is on the post you do on that day.
2. Post to your own events. Everyone has relatives and friends who celebrate birthdays on unique dates. Post about them, but not saying “happy birthday to my aunt…” exactly. Say something about how that person makes you feel, discuss a lesson learned from that person, a place special to him, or your best analysis of his guiding philosophy. Secretly dedicate that post to that person on that date, and don’t forget to relate it to the overall theme of your blog if you can.
Affiliate marketing according to dates and times has worked well for affiliates who know where to look for merchants specializing on one or more of these events. There’s no reason why this same concept can’t be applied in producing content for a blog.
