Thu, 29 Jul 2021 11:56:57 +0000 https://robertringer.com/forced-love/#IDComment1102120008 https://robertringer.com/trumps-presumption-of-knowledge-challenge/#IDComment1092220788 How about this as a simple, impactful message to repeat over and over to everyone? "I predict this will be the first Presidential election since 1972 with no debates. Joe Biden isn't very smart, but he's smart enough to know that Trump would eat him alive in any debate. He knows that if he comes up out of his basement to debate Trump in public, he will have no chance of winning the election."

Back in 1989, I spent a week in LA at a marketing training by Jay Abraham. One of the resources we were given was a book of maybe 200 of Jay's favorite sales letters and ads. My favorite of all of them was a letter by Robert Ringer, titled "Why I Hate Jay Abraham." I've used that letter as a model a couple times over the years. It was a great, great "offbeat" endorsement. I know you're a terrific writer ... but I always figured Jay wrote that letter himself, over your name, to send out to his prospects. So tell me - who REALLY wrote that letter?

Then I started a business that made 3 million dollars over a 6-year period. Nothing majestic, but a big change for me. My observation: The difference between capitalism (people & business running the economy) and statism (government running the economy) is one word: responsibility. When it's your money at play (capitalism), you take responsibility. You are always at risk of losing everything. So you test everything from products to marketing. You learn everything you can and you make the best possible choices to create a product the market wants at a price they will pay. When it's not your money at play (statism), it doesn't really matter. You take no responsibility. Why should you? If you screw up and lose that money, so what? You can always get more (taxes). So you test nothing, because it doesn't matter. You create products or services you like, and then you forcefeed them to the market, whether people want them or not. You're never concerned with bankruptcy. You're proud of not making a profit. Long-term, only capitalism can work. It has a million flaws, but only capitalism can create a prosperous society. The stronger a government gets, the more people you have with "no responsibility" making the economic decisions, the sooner a society will self-destruct.

(E.g, last sentence of paragraph 3: "If your content is really good, syndication can set off a viral spread through social channels.") If your content doesn't inspire people, you are certainly wasting your time.

And if you have any ideas for articles on other aspects of content syndication that would benefit you, let me know. - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:26:23 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23811084 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810617 I think it IS simple. But that doesn't mean it's easy. I'm pretty sure MrBabyMan has had plenty of disappointments and setbacks along the way to building his Digg empire. But when you work backwards from the current result, the plan itself is just a few simple steps. - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:19:07 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810617 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810276 Kareena - You make a really good point. All anyone needs to do is look at the last 15 years of the internet and the world. Changes we could never, ever have predicted. You are right - the key is to observe and participate and be open, and who knows what the payoff may be? - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:13:03 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810276 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810062 Phil - The purpose here is to show how to locate a social media Power User and then back-engineer what they have done, so you can do it yourself, for Digg or any other social network. I consider it a pretty powerful skill. You are certainly free to ignore it. - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:09:35 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23810062 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23809668 Gary - Thanks. I appreciate your comments. And having read some of your articles, I know you have the ability to create that great content. - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:03:04 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23809668 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23809519 Phil - To me, the key to success and happiness is high-quality, mutually-beneficial relationships. That automatically says you have to be selective, because each relationship requires a certain amount of time. The higher the quality, usually, the more time is required to build & maintain the relationship. Example: I only have one wife. A larger number would make my life much more complex than I want.- Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:00:41 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23809519 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23808983 You said it perfectly, Andrew. The #1 value of the internet is the opportunity to learn from each other and to gain new skills much faster than we ever could before. Helping & encouraging each other benefits us as individuals more than any other options. - Richard Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:51:59 +0000 http://nettrafficmachine.com/content-syndication-plan/#IDComment23808983 http://nettrafficmachine.com/leverage-search-engine-resultsvisibility/get-higher-search-engine-rank/blog-promotion/#IDComment18727866 Barry, I post articles to EzineArticles.com with a link to this site. Other than that, the only promotion is Synnd. I'm totally blown away by how effective Synnd is.
