Is the type of person who writes a blog titled "How to Become Successful", "How to Get Rich the Smart Way", "How to Get Massive Traffic To Your Website", "How to Sell Stuff Online", "How to Make Money Online", or anything of the sort.

The reason these annoy me is because most people who blog about making money online, have barely made a dime online.

People pretend to know about how to make money online, because they've heard stuff like what Steve and others explain about making money online.

But very few of these bloggers are actually doing what they preach, and THAT is one of the reasons their blogs fail to begin with! (along with many other reasons).

In my opinion, one should only teach something that he has already done, or become. You can't talk from the perspective of someone who's making money online, or living as a vegan, or in super fit shape, unless you ARE that person.

If you aren't, you are just adding your (worthless) opinion to the jumble that is the internet.

In my case, I could write an honest blog post titled "How to get 75 visitors per day to your website" because that is how much I averaged last month. I could also write a post titled "How to get your images to the first page of Google Images" because I have done that as well. I could even write an honest post of "How to make your website pay for its hosting, and THEN some" because my website is currently paying for itself, and then some.

It bothers me when I see bloggers trying to attract an audience by blogging about things that they have no real-life experience in. To me, it is just dishonest. One of the biggest reasons that people can relate to Steve so much is that he shares so much of himself, and you don't get the feeling that his posts are just someone else's words re-written again and again until they have no value. He creates new value by writing about his life experience, not about something he's only heard of.
