When I first started blogging I had no idea of what I was doing, actually I still have no idea, but it works just fine.
My active blogs are:
www.wouldntcareless.blogspot.com (was my second blog, and most successful), than I also put up www.rainingidiots.blogspot.com
previous I had other blogs that never took off.
I wrote to pull traffic to my site www.mindyourbusines.com that is specialized in ultralight aviation, giving away construction plans and selling e-books and construction plans, and previously I wrote on the subject, guess what... the very few passionate people jumped in to comment or read, and nobody else.
While on Wouldn't Care Less I simply curse the system, the government, the banks, the human stupidity, or on the Raining Idiots Around I unmask e-scams publishing their letters and explaining how they make money on stupids, and people share my blogs in a viral manner.
To my surprise this is a very required lecture by all sorts of people, example: I had some 200 Facebook friends that I hardly gathered in years, and some 100 twitter contacts, same way, BUT since I publish in Facebook and twitter my blogs in chunks of 3 in the morning, noon and evening, total 9 a day (and I might write some 1 to 6 a month) I have friends request that flood me, up to 10 a day on each system, thus I don't have to hunt for them anymore.
Actually on Facebook I am approaching the max limit.
My site was receiving some 2 visits a day in the beginning, but I integrated links to my site in the blogs, and now I am on page 1 or 2 in most search engines for my principal keywords because of the traffic generated by my blogs readers (beware my texts have nothing to do with my site content, but if I write well, they are curious to see what else is in there)
Thus a well wrote blog attracts criticism, comments, replies, visitors, traffic to the site, more friends on social networking platforms (LinkedIn included) and I am posting my thoughts but also posting my friends thoughts in my blogs giving them direct credit, thus helping friends too.
It worked fine to me, thus try a few versions of blogging yourself, open a few blogs and see which style attracts more comments, visitors, criticism, replies and so forth, and after one year or two, close the blogs that are dying and keep doing the ones that took of and fly high.
I am sorry this topic is so short, damn it, there is much more to be said and done on it!
Humans have the bad habit to get addicted to things and habits simply because it is inbreed in our software so we can survive.
Since early history we got addicted to sex, but that was understandable, reproducing the race should of being something we should enjoyed or nobody would of had kids anymore,
Than we discovered alcohol, first by error, than by raffination of our error! Booze!
Later we discovered other addictive things like coffee, tobacco, hallucinogenic plants, and lately artificial chemically elaborated hallucinogens.
All harmful in a long run both for the person and for the society, but we legalized some and banned others.
Now is Star Trek time, o yap, I recall those episodes with the alien species that were technologically interconnected in society and all shared their thoughts to all the civilization and heard their thoughts simultaneously, no privacy of thinking, and were trying to conquer the non shared minds and turn them into similar by implanting them the chips.
We are heading there, we are passing from addiction to be inbreed into technology, not technology in us (although that will be the first step), but if things go the way I see in 100 years there will be no more humans on earth, just bio-robotics using human bodies as ambulant chips carrier that will do the thinking, creating and decision.
I let you imagine the consequences of such a society if somebody injects a worm to take over their power of thinking after they gave up their individual independence to the network....
I have an uncle, my mother's sister husband.
Who doesn't?
He must be now over 90, and I am over 40, but I do remember that in the summer vacations my mom shipped us for 3 months way up north to her sister to get us out of the city life and smog for a while.
They had some 40 hectares of land spread in small napkins here and there over the hills, the most large of them was 5 hectares, but good only for hay, and the closest one to their home was 3 hectares on a hill right over the village center, the rest were in between half a hectare and 2 hectares spread over 15 miles range from the house in about all directions.
They had some 300 sheep, about 10 cows and oxes and grew each year about a dozen of pigs, had 8 nasty dogs that fought wolves and bears to protect the sheep and cows, many cats to clean the rodents and hell knows how many rats and mice in their 4 winter houses (rather stables with a dorm room) spread on the main hay fields where they would take the cattle and sheep in the winter to eat the hay.
And with all this they had no car, no tractor, nothing likewise, all they used were their 6 horses, to plow, to carry (they had two horse-pulled carts, one heavy-duty with wooden wheels, and one with car pneumatics for hay or going to town to sell stuff).
They cut their hay grass by hand, they plowed with the horses, harvested by hand, transported with the horses (boy I had fun riding those huge beasts at 5 AM going to one field or another to pasture the cattle and the lambs while they did agriculture jobs, it was the only reason I woke up all mornings on my own at such hours.. lol)
When I was about 16 I become smarter and asked my uncle how comes they don't use tractors and trucks, and he said:
"The tractor might plow faster, but won't shit anything good to create manure!"
That was a tough lesson on living organic that I never forgot and I still try to live by that philosophy although I got specialized in industry, robotics, welding, aviation and hydro electric turbines, in my home we buy things in such a manner that packing can be reused and recycled, we try to eat as much as possible organic food, I advise and create sun heaters for home use (with pipes done out of recuperated empty aluminium coke cans), sun heated ovens so that one can cook the food with no toxic fumes, I also mingle with HHO bubblers and stuff, and try to create electricity from anything that is not toxic, like sun, water-flows and wind, get hot water from the sun heater, and create air-conditioning with the sun heated condensing towers.
I also love ultralight aviation (It takes you places with less than half the pollution a "clean" car would do and in a more funny way, no traffic jams, no red lights, no police tickets, and most important you can build your own plane/chopper for cheap in your own garage and legally fly it once registered and you passed the course and got your NPPL (in Europe) or LSA certification in the US and so on).
No way Jose, they would say in California!
There is always something, otherwise from nothing, nothing comes out, like in agriculture.
Maybe an idea of something you know how to do and can take it at business level, than you study your market and understand whether this could mean business or not, than you contact people and propose your solution and do it yourself until you make a little buck of savings to can grow, and naturally grow a little market around you and so on.
From nothing, nothing comes out, but from something, no matter how small and insignificant it might seem in the beginning, using the brain, perseverance, falling, hurting your knees and feelings, and raising again each darn time you fall, sooner or later you will have something.
Take my word, I done it quite a few times in my life, sometimes I failed sometimes I made it, but the important thing is no matter how discouraged I was at a certain point, and deluded, and down, I always picked myself together and up again, and went further, or changed direction.
If I made it, than you can too!
"First bring me in that condition than ask me that question."
Most business owners presume money is the wrong motivator just because they don't like to pay what is worth.
Pay the employe what is REALLY worth, not a fraction of it, than start coming with weird motivations.
Suppose (but mathematically absurd for any normal job) an employee is paid what is worth compared with the market life costs, the next important things to look at are:
- Balanced work program to give them time to spend with family and friends
- Creativity recompensed and not stolen from them
- Working because it's fun to do it not because they feel the breath of being laid off if they don't perform and keep their mouth shut when it comes to their rights.
I always get the best performance out of my collaborators in those conditions, working happily!
While threatening them and keeping them frightened only makes things worse, they pick up most stupid solutions to fill the momentary gap and preserve their jobs, and the later damage caused by such attitude is company goes down or bankrupt, and they are loosing their job anyway, in block with all the others.
And hiring motivators to make their head square of motivational quotes and stories.... I will never put my money in such a thing, I better give that money to the dudes that makes the company go ahead and make them happy, they need the darn money to go ahead with their family lives, but motivational stories cannot put them bread on table.
DIXIT!
Follow your freedom and you might live dangerous times, but at least you enjoy living them for a long time.
If the flock wants computer flown airplanes because it's "modern"...
If the flock drinks Coca Cola and Pepsi and Red Bull and other similar energetic drinks, coffe and alcohol included because they all do it and it's cool, but not doing it means getting you out of the society,
If the flock goes to war against terrorism because they have being told so and it's confortable to listen to what they tell us instead of using your head to decide what is right and what is wrong,
If the flock accepts internet limitations, freedom limitations, libertyes limitations, movement limitations, taxes limitations on tyheir pocket...
To me this does not mean the flock is right, it only means there is manny out there being totaly wrong, or too lazy to seek for the right path and use their brain, that's all, and when the system they enjoy their "peace of mind to be in" will slaughter them to survive, I will not be able to help them, but at least I help myself not to be in the slaughtered flock since now...
There are fixes, but those fixes are unlikely to be regarded by bankers or governemnts, since they make huge profits out of the game "get you in debt to make me rich, by buying from me, than you pay the debt the way you can, if you can't you are my man and dance the way I sing"
Debt is a powerful weapon hold aganist the stupids that took credit without having the means to pay back, and controlling governments actions by debt leverage is an old and sturdy system.
It didn't worked out too well for bankers in Iceland thou.... :) I love the Iceland people for that, I raise my hat!
Staying within the system and changing the rules to lower the burden below the "Plus Value rate of production" is a good leverage, but they will never give up controll of countryes to save them, better die together with the parasyted host rather than allow the host some breathing room!
The other way is to get OUT of the DEBT system at all, and TRASH MONEY SYSTEM.
Of course this will produce a huge monetary loss to banks and some superwealthy folks that controll the world through money and decided that right now we must have a crisys so we lower a bit our standards and give up some libertyes in their favour, but who cares since money will no longer exist!
What can we trade for?
Something tangible, like ENERGY stocks, I pay you from Italy in China 5 MegaWatts of (something, like electricity or petrol or other goods/values that I hold Power Cetificates for) againts one container of widgets, and I pay the shipper half a MegaWatt to bring it to my harbour.
No currencyes involved, and this way the banks will simply DIE!
You might say this is UTOPIA and will never work, WRONG!
I do it, and it was done since ever, BARTER, only that I do not exchange sheep for apples and have to find the apples guy that want my flock, I exchange Sheep worth of MW of Power against apples worth of MW of Power Certificates, than the guy might decide to take over the sheep flock, or to trade the MW Power "CHECK" with one for the property of a car, with the car dealer, that might use the flock or sell it for electricity, without even seing the flock.
I sold a truck load of computers and installed them in an intranet for a power producing company, and I required to be paid at the agreed price, but not with money, with electricity at their invoicing price (half market price) basically doubling my money without having any cash changing hands, than I payd a car manufacturer for a few cars at Ex Work prices in electricity, quadrupeling my money in 2 weeks, without having any cash changing hands., the result was that for the worth of ONE damn good car worth in computers I installed I had 4 damn good cars in ownership, I sold 3 and kept one!
This was my first time, 20 years ago, now I got even sneackyer... lol
