Group Video Project At Problogger

Vic — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:51:40 +0000

Folks I submitted this video as part of Probloggers video project trying to hopefully get some more exposure for Blogging Zoom. As you noticed it is in YouTube because it is less then 10 minutes and also I hope to get the exposure that I could not get from Revver.

Please tell me what you think mmm in other words how bads is it? LMAO also please support the video at YouTube by making comments, maybe I can get it mainstream and comments are one of the factors to make YouTub e videos go popular.

PS: I wonder if Darren will actually approve my submissions since I did behave but through a small jab at the end. LMAO

Lessons Learned by a Dumb Fuck

Vic — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 02:16:11 +0000

Folks I am going to get this started with a little story to tell you When I signed up for Hosting at one point with hostgator I used an email that was for the domain I signed up with. Lets stop here for a minute so I can say DUMB FUCK!.

Let me tell you why this is bad idea and you tell me if you were a stupid fucker that did the same thing. If you sign up for Hosting with the same email as domain you are using you are setting yourself up for problems from the get go. If you account ever gets suspended you are screwed. How in the Fuck do you communicate with the tech support people if they use the email on file to email you to let you know why you are getting suspended? Im sure there are plenty of you that will read this and tell me you have that set up the same way right now CHANGE IT if you do to an outside email address. Now I am not going to get into details about the suspension but I will tell you it was just time to upgrade to something bigger and no I was not suspended for spam. I don’t do that shit!

Let me jump to another example. Brian over at elitebydesign.com made a good point about Entrecard. Now while I will swear to you up and down that Entrecard sucks for adsense users Brian was not using it for adsense so in this case it did have a purpose for him. I still hold my stance about entrecard and adsense but I will tell you that the different point of view gave me a different perspective on Entrecard being plain crap or having any value.

Listen folks we all claim to know things sometimes but we dont always know everything because look at what I did. Now some of you are saying to yourself what the Fuck is Vic saying here? What I am telling you is that we learn not only from our mistakes but many times we learn from others Now for you fuckers that will try to tell me im getting soft and telling you I dont know it all FUCK YOU this post is for you peckers. People like Court and Grizz who met along the way have given me a lot to think about we teach each other things and bounce ideas off of each other as well. Folks this is why it is important to build your own social communities so to speak.

Most of you will remember when Court and me launched BloggingZoom around that time I met a cool kid name Justin that was already blogging and now is the blogger of hostgator. We have gotten to be real good friends. I want to ask you folks to go and vote for the hostgator blog if you get a chance on bloggers choice awards. Now folks I know I am moving around quickly and talking about all different people but what it comes down to is who is going to back your ass up when you need it? Who is going to vouch for you when you need it? Who is going to pick your ass up when you dont feel like writing when you need it? Who is going to tell you what you could have wrote and what you should write next time when you need it? Who is going to tell you straight up the way it is when you need it?(You fucking know I will) Who is going to give you ideas and trust you will keep it to yourself when you need it? Decipher these questions as you like and let them sink in because this shit is important.

Folks you get my drift it comes down to support whether you want to acknowledge it or not. Sure you can do things on your own and I have gone that route too but you have to remember that working together can may times accomplish a lot more. So who is in your fave five (t-mobile motto)? If you haven’t made any good contacts that you keep in touch with now would be a good time people. Get a core group of people that can help you and you can help them.

Definition of Success

Vic — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 23:08:56 +0000

Folks let me start this post by saying I know we are behind in certain things. Especially the niche test case. But folks let just say the last week my health his just being terrible now yesterday it seem I had turned the corner. Folks last night my wife offered me an Ambien because the last few days I was really not sleeping well. OMG folks let’s just say before you take any medication you really need to consider the possible side effects versus a current condition you may have. One of the problems I was having the last days was with my balance and everything that entails, by taking Ambien I multiplied my balance problems by 10 let’s just say I have been trying to write and answer from my laptop in bed with serious problems trying to walk, so again I apologize for being so behind.

Now I was trying to read some of BZ submissions and I came upon a test case that one our friends Richard is doing the post is called How to Make Money Online now I read it and left a comment:

Vic on January 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm

Good luck buddy please keep us up to date who is going I wish I had more time but sometimes I can get to all you folks blogs.

To your success

Vic

Now folks Richard answered one of the most coolest things some one could answer.

RT Cunningham on January 3rd, 2008 at 11:59 pm

Thanks for stopping by, Vic. I didn’t expect you’d have the time to, so I wasn’t looking for it.

Success? If I can get out of bed, I’m successful. Anything else is gravy.

Now folks the whole point of this post is to be outright clear on what I am about and you do not get the wrong impression. Let’s first read what according to the dictionary success is.

success
(sÉ™k-sÄ•s’)

n.

1. The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted: attributed their success in business to hard work.
2.
1. The gaining of fame or prosperity: an artist spoiled by success.
2. The extent of such gain.
3. One that is successful: The plan was a success.
4. Obsolete. A result or an outcome.

[Latin successus, from past participle of succÄ“dere, to succeed. See succeed.]

Now folk before my breakdown I was all about work, money and results. I can not this day tell you how many actual graduations and birthdays I have missed in my children’s life. Now today at 39 I can safely say that the success in my life will not be measured by how much I left in the bank. Today if I have to chose between making 5k in a day and spending time with my 4 year old daughter their is no competition. And as Richard says Success? If I can get out of bed, I’m successful. Anything else is gravy.

Now when you set goals in your business and make an outline of what you will achieve it is a total different matter. You can not start a blog and make your goal that you will rank with such keyword and you will make such an amount of money and etc etc etc in the first year and down the line when the year comes around and you have not reached the goals you had set for yourself DO NOT SAY OH WELL BUT I DID ACHIEVE SUCH AND SUCH by doing this you are hurting yourself, just come outright and say I FAILED!!! Folks how can you fix something when it is not broken? Say I FAILED! now what do I have to do to fix this so I do not fail again. Folks failure is part of life unfortunately people only remember the success. I learn more from my failures then from my successes.

Folks there is no such thing as a free lunch and instant success. You can not start a brand new niche blog today and expect traffic tomorrow. Can you receive traffic the following day? Of course you can but this can not be your expectation, remember folks in a business there is a rule you should live by 110% Effort 20% Results and folks the most important thing you should understand is that Grizz, Court or me are not rocket scientist we do not hold the key to the meaning of life we are not the most brilliant minds in the world. The fact is that we are 3 guys who have been where you are at and have gone through everything you are right now and tons more you have not yet.

Folks today is January 3 2008 I ask you what have you done to achieve you goals? Now you have no excuses. You have three people that are not looking to ride you like a horse and drain you of every cent you have. Grizz, Court and me invite you to choose success over failure in your online business. But in life I ask you to remember Richard’s words Success? If I can get out of bed, I’m successful. Anything else is gravy.

Happy New Year!

Vic — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 09:53:21 +0000

Folks I truly wish you the best New Years Eve ever. Take the time to reflect on 2007 and use all your experiences to focus toward 2008. Court and me will be at the 2008 BlogWorld & New Media Expo and we want to meet you all there. Now in order for you to be there you must have made enough income to make it worth it. So I propose the following as New Years Resolutions.

1. No more excuses.
2. Accept responsibility.
3. Plan your work and work your plan.

No More excuses! Between Court, Grizz and me we have showed you the way to success, in the coming months we will keep giving the knowledge to reach that success. If you fail you will not be able to blame anybody but yourself. I do not want to hear excuses! We all have bad things happen to us in our daily lives what will determine which will overcome better is how well they react to those bad things. In other words we sometimes can not control the bad things but we sure as heck can control how we react and deal with them. The time you spent blaming and using excuses is the same time I rather use to find a solution or the best outcome of the current situation.

Accept responsibility! You are responsible for your decisions but even more important you have to accept responsibility for the outcome of the decisions you make. The next time you are sitting in front of your computer asking yourself and trying to find some one to blame why you are not receiving traffic from Google, ask yourself the following. Did I really have to go to the movies yesterday instead of staying home and getting more anchored links? Should I taken the three day holiday instead of getting more anchored links? As you folks have notice I have kept posting the last few days. Folks I am successful because I make it so. I have a set goal that I will achieve by the end of 2008 and then I will start taking the 4 day holidays but for right now I have accepted the responsibility of achieving success and I act accordingly. You are responsible for your success! Will you stumble along the way? Of course you will what do you expect? Are you so special that the rules of life do not apply to you? But what determines the success you will have is what you did with your failures. Do you really think Thomas Edison nailed the light bulb on his first try? I can guarantee you he failed and failed and failed again but instead of choosing the cowards way out and blaming some one or something he accepted the responsibility of his failure and as such he knew that he did something wrong and now all he had to do was find it and fix it.

Plan your work and work your plan! Folks if you are waking up in the morning and saying lets see what we will do today you have no fucking chance in hell in having success in life. The common thing that all great successes have in common is that those that achieved that success could see it, tasted it way before they had the success. Friends sit down today if you have not done it and make a list of set goals that you will achieve by the end of 2008, now go over that list if you can not make a work plan that you are totally sure you will achieve that goal you are in some serious shit. Most people set goals but when you ask them how you will accomplish that goal most answer I do not know. Please folks explain to me how can you achieve a goal if you have no fucking idea how? It would be like me setting the goal that by the end of 2008 I will be the owner of China, yes I said own not be the president I will let Hu Jintao run the country I will own China. Now you guys say, so Vic what is your plan to own China by the end of 2008 and I say well mmm I do not know. Folks if you can not see the route to achieving your Goal you have no chance in hell to make it happen. Sit make a list of Goals and make your work plan to achieve such goal, if you can not make the work plan to achieve that goal you are in some serious shit and new year you will be reading my Happy New Year! for 2009 in the same situation you are in.

I chose success, I invite you to do the same.

110% Effort 20% Results

Vic — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 19:50:22 +0000

In business we have to put all the effort in the world to sometimes get dismal results. In traditional business most of the time especially in the beginning of the business you find yourself putting in every day 110% effort and yet you get 20% results. Bloggers seem this rule does not apply to them so you will constantly see 20% effort and they are expecting 110% results, again I ask myself if bloggers really think they are so special that traditional rules just do not fucking apply to them.

You can not expect instant results. I know sometimes when you read what I write or others that not only know and do this everyday it might seem extremely easy and logical. Let me just say out the box people even those that know have bombs, it is what it is. Example, let’s say you have applied some of the techniques I have shown here and now you got today 5k unique hits. You just got that illusive traffic, now how do you convert that to clicks and money. THERE IS NO FUCKING MAGIC BULLET!!! Try and try again, you know how many times I have had 20k unique hits and just fucked up on my selection of ads and suddenly I just waste an awesome opportunity to cash out on the traffic, because it turns out the following day new content was indexed and now from position one my ass was sent to position 24.

So the trick is to do it over and over again until you get enough experience to minimize the failures and increase the successes. Yes we all have failures, what the fuck you expect? The difference from my failures and maybe yours is I learn from them and get right on the fucking horse again. I will not spend a day in my life whining how I am not making money, I resist to waste my time like that. I break down my failure and find out where I fucked up. Lesson one TAKE FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY!!!! I ask you if you blame others for your fuck up, explain to me exactly will you fix it? This is the common theme with people who have never achieved anything in there life, you sit with them and in less then 15 minutes you hear 20 stories on how bad life has treated them.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! WE ALL HAVE BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO US!!! You can not control some things in your life, explain to me how you can control being stopped at a red light at 2:00PM on a weekday and a fucking drunk hits you head on, how the fuck do you control some shit like that? But the fact is most of the bad shit that happens in our lives is directly tied to a decision that we made.

Do not expect instant results, do you have any fucking idea how many ebooks, how many hours I have spent in my life either learning or trying to figure how come something went bad. You know how many times I have sat in front of my computer scratching my head when one of my sites went down and I have no clue what the fuck is wrong. Again the difference is instead of whining and complaining I just move on to find the problem and fix it. In life you will make mistakes this is a given, since the day you where born you are destined to make mistakes. Just make sure you make mistakes you can fix.

If you are applying something you learned here or on another site, expect to have your growing pains. Again expect to have 110% effort to have 20% results, why would you think you are so fucking special? Trust me you are not. So the important thing is to have solid fundamentals, set up a game plan make a solid to do. Plan your work, and work your plan. Focus on your goals and just put a fucking cross hair on the target and do what you got to do to achieve that goal. A $400.00 review will not give you instant success it does not fucking work like that.

But the question is when are you planning to start? How much effort are you placing to achieve your results? ARE YOU FUCKING YOURSELF? ARE YOU YOUR WORST ENEMY? Some people have balls to achieve what they want, other want what others achieve. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? An achiever or a wanter.
