Blog Experiment

[impaul99]

LilChris's manifestation experiment got me thinking tonight. What if we formed a similar group of people on here who publish any sort of Positively Charged Blog and the group could attract traffic for it's members as well as help each other out to raise our traffic rankings etc.

For example we could do something like this:
(1) We reserve 10-30 spots for Bloggers who blog about any kind of positive topics like Law of Attraction, Making Money Online/Offline, Personal Development, Health & Wellness etc.

(2) Each of us adds each member to our RSS readers so that we get all the blog posts from everyone automatically delivered to our readers.

(3) Whenever we see an article that really resonates with us, we help the blogger out by Digging, Stumbling, Linking etc.

(4) If wanted, we could participate in guest blogging on each-other's blogs if we write on similar topics. For example my niche is now helping people make money doing what they love, but I have been studying nutrition for years now so I could easily write a guest blog for someone's blog on nutrition related issues. I just don't want to write it on mine because I want to stick to my theme.

(5) We use Law of Attraction to drive more traffic to our network of blogs, as well as attracting ideas. For example when I "charge" my mind positively and I get in a really good mood I can usually attract like 10 ideas on how my businesses can make more money (money is my specialty). When I'm in that "state of mind" I could re-focus my attention to some of the other blogs in our circle to offer ideas. It's like the saying that 2 minds are better than 1. Well this would be 30 minds are better than 1.

(6) If you guys wanted to setup a private forum for discussing ideas, I could do that on my forum as well just for the group of 30. There could be ways we could help each other out with things. For example, a few weeks back I was trying to figure out how to record my telephone conversations with my coach/mentor. I had to do research and found a cool little Panasonic voice recorder and connector box that allows you to record from your telephone to the voice recorder and then dump to MP3. I know this isn't rocket science, but on several other forums I've been on I've seen people totally stumped how to go from Telephone to MP3. Just one example, but there can be many others. ie. LilChris brought to my attention I should have a favicon for my forum and he was nice enough to design one for me. It's something I meant to do, but totally forgot about it and probably would have never done if he didn't mention it.

It's basically a network for 30 Law of Attraction Practitioners who are also Bloggers and who help each other.

Anyone interested?

I am up for online experiments. I wanted to get the emotional intelligence one going here. Knowing that people didn't engage with it now is part of my feedback.

One thing that I do is put out an interest that is logged with a date. For example I have put my name with deepak chopra on a wellness video - in time when the video gets really popular it will show that I knew what the marketing driver was in advance of others. It's highly unlikely that L.O.A. will be tought at Universities Globally but emotional intelligence will. It's one part of the passion project that could be improved.

[drkirby]

I'd be up for that as well. I run a blog on the law of attraction and wouldn't say no to a cooperative effort to help one another.

DrKirby, I checked out your blog and saw that 700 words video. WOW. This experiment is already helping me. One thing I wanted to ask you is how do I sign up for your RSS feed? I can't seem to find it anywhere on your site.

[Rose of Cairo]

I like the idea very much
But the blogs I'm going to set up are not about something useful So I just wish you a lot of success!

[Good Vibe Coach]

Count me in, Paul! Sounds like a fun, not to mention effective, plan to me.

I've got a blog devoted to the topic of LOA, so I'd love to participate!

Hey Paul, I'm glad you liked it.

I've been so busy doing a gazillion things... I'm gonna put it up right now, so when you get this it should be up..

thanks for dropping by

I just clicked on your blog and saw that pic of the Ferrari. LOL. Oh man, that's funny. BTW, what kind of dog is that in your picture? I've got a German Shepherd + Akita cross.

One of them will be about ordinary daily life stories. I love ordinary daily life stories I love it to read some private details in blogs or articles. Not necessarily details about their sex life or intimate problems, but something like "today my wife went for a walk with the kids" or "today I found a dying rabbit in the park".

I love small, unimposing daily life details, I find they have an incredible beauty and richness. Like an encounter with a stranger you talk with for five minutes before both go back to their own life. The neighbour's dogs, barking all day long. This old man who buys two bottles of milk at the same shop every friday afternoon. A fragile blade of gras growing between two bricks in the middle of the city you saw yesterday when you went to buy bread. A blocked sink and its consequences for the whole house... What the wife next door cooks for her husband when she's angry at him.

My blog will be about such stuff, you know. Stories about late buses, dirty socks and human cohabitation

The second one will be a scanner's blog. Every time I'm interested in something, I'll do some research and write an article about it. There will be articles about mathematics, about archeology, about the connection between science and old spiritual teachings, about energy work, about some interesting people, about ... just everything. Plain chaos.

I cannot really imagine that someone wants to read such things. It doesn't matter, it's for me to have fun writing it. But it's nothing useful, important or productive like making money, or the Loa, or PD...

I would say those are absolutely important and useful. It's just a different style of Blogging. I enjoy reading both types of Blogs, the reporter types which report daily life stories and the ones that teach something. If it's ok, I'd like to add them to the list. We can mutually benefit from our positive energies about Blogging in general. Besides, you'll write more articles knowing "Someone's out there reading." and so will I, and so will the rest of us in the group.

Do you have a URL for them yet?

No... I'm still lost in the blog jungle, and asking myself if I should go to blogger or wordpress, in which language(s) I should write, if it's possible to have more than one blog on my site, how I should call them... and I've been trying for two weeks now to convince my bank to give me a credit card, so that I could purchase my own domain name, but they don't like this dangerous idea

edit: I'll tell you when they're born

Why not start a free blog for now on Wordpress.com or Blogger.com for the time being. Takes about 30 seconds to sign up. That way you'll know for sure that it's your financial situation that's stopping you and not something else that's using your lack of $ for a domain as an excuse.

Sometimes our fears have a way of using $ as a stumbling block. Money and time that is. It took me a while to launch my blog because of these fears, and I was using the "time" excuse. I kept telling myself that I don't have time to launch a blog "right now" since I am so busy with work and all my other projects, but really it was just my insecurity of getting myself "out there". I had hidden fears of being criticised by my co-workers reading what I say, or even friends / parents etc.

Shortly after I launched my blog, I had no idea my mom was reading it, she saw me at her house one day and asked me "When's your next post? I'm learning a lot."

It's so weird how we fear really stupid things. Anyway, just a thought on something you could try.

Hi impaul99,

I would like to join in. This seems to be falling in line with what I'm am wanting from the Universe. I have been reading your blog for the past month and have enjoyed it immensely.

My blogs are http://inourownwords.blogspot.com and http://articlesofintent.blogspot.com. For Quotes...In Our Own Words, I talk about about inspirational quotes, poems, and short stories and how we can apply them to our lives. Most of the posts have an LoA overtone, but overall it's just a Feel Good blog.

Article Of Intent is blog where I post articles by other authors on the subject of LoA. I will be submiting my own articles very soon. Maybe this experiment will give me some inspiration.

Thanks again for the opportunity.

[JJH]

Sounds great impaul99,

I'm going to be blogging about my experiences with neuro-feedback as it relates to meditation, spirituality and personal growth - starting from next week.

Good luck with it!

Paul: yes, you're right.

I'm making it much too complicated. I should just do it instead of thinking about details.

I'm a bit scared and I feel particularly insecure about writing in english. My english isn't good enough to express myself freely and accurately. I'd rather write in german, french or spanish, but that wouldn't make much sense.


edit: I have to improve my english anyway. I have a few good reasons for that

Are you kidding me? Your English is fine. If you're worried about it, just put a note in your "About Me" section that says something like "Note to my Readers: English is not my first language so I apologize for any grammatical or spelling mistakes. Please bear with me while I work to improve my English. Thank You."

If someone criticizes you because your English is not perfect and stop reading your blog because of it, they're probably not your ideal reader anyways.

One thing you could do is write down a profile of your ideal reader and keep it in mind while writing your blog. You could put "UNDERSTANDING" as one of the values of your reader and then they will be understanding of the fact that English is not your primary language.

My blog is all about making money doing what you love, and I am aware of the fact that there are many people who will think I am "greedy" or that it's wrong to make money or that "money is the root of all evil" but I don't let that worry me because they are not my target audience. I write my blog for those who want to learn to make money doing what they love. If a person doesn't match that description, my blog is not for them, and that's totally fine.

Pat O'Bryan wrote about this in his book "Your Portable Empire". He often talks about how his writing is conversational and that it is NOT grammatically correct. He says that his English professor would completely be in shock if he read some of the things Pat has written, but Pat says that his English Professor doesn't make as much money as him and he can't make money from a laptop on vacation, so he'll stick to being wealthy and grammatically incorrect.

[Rose of Cairo]

lol

What I'm scared of is not criticism or what other might think, and it's not doing grammatical or spelling mistakes either (I'll make some, it doesn't matter). It's more that I won't feel free in english.

In French I know the language exactly, I know on which language level a word is, I know its connotations and its history. In German I'm not that good but almost. In these languages I can just let my unconscious write, it's not me, it just happens.

In english I have no clue about what I'm actually writing. I can express ideas, but I don't know anything about the words. Thus, I have to think a lot while writing and don't feel really free. It's like shooting around with a gun, with closed eyes. The problem is more than looking up every third word, it's that you don't think in english like you think in german, and I'm still thinking in german with english words.

But, yes, you're right again. I have to learn it anyway. I'll put a warning on my blog and write in english. At the moment I'm watching a lot of movies in english to get a better sense of it

Thanks for your words. I really appreciate them. These blogs mean a lot to me. Thanks for encouraging me

I know exactly what you mean. I was born in Poland and I didn't speak any english until age 9. It took a while for me to stop thinking in Polish and start thinking in English. The other problem with english is that it doesn't have enough words. It's like in Polish there is like 300 ways to say "Happy" that mean different things, and there are little things that can be used to put together sentences in ways that mean different things. English seems to be a very simple language which sometimes doesn't translate very well. Although I only know very very basic French, I've heard that it also has a lot of words to describe things.

There are swear words in Polish that don't even come close to having an equivelant in English. Mind you, I'm only talking about North American basic English, not UK English, which does seem to have a lot more slang words to describe emotions.

[Rose of Cairo]

yeah, I know what you mean, so you understand me!

To swear in french is also a delight! You can string together as many well-known and self-created invectives as you want.

German is very precise. You need few words to describe a situation in all details. To compensate such a concision, all words have at least nine syllables French is much more copious, it has lots of little words you put here and there in between, and complex expressions to circumscribe simple things. That's a pain in the ass sometimes, but it also allows you to pun and play with connotations a lot. I guess that's somehow related to this more indirect communication style in France.

But that's just my experience... maybe others wouldn't agree.

I'm happy right now, on my way back from school I met a band of latino indians playing some very beautiful music on the street. I talked with one of them and was very happy to have an opportunity to speak spanish and even a few sentences of quechua Now I'm thinking en spanish and completamente confused...

But I'm totally off-topic, sorry. Just had to relate.

[impaul99]

Is anyone else interested in this? We've got 7 people so far.

Maybe we should cap it at 10 for now? Looking for 3 more bloggers interested in getting more traffic.

Who's in?

[Rose of Cairo]

Paul, I have two domains now and I'm currently working on setting up my blogs. I'll keep the urls secret till there is something to see there, then I'll tell you. I'd like to join you!

[ticktockclok]

I'll get in with my blog Truth and Anarchy, but it's nothing like any of your's. I'm still designing it.

[Pegasus]

Hey Paul!

You just inspired me to start a blog! Not for money but for personal expression. The words "free" and "30 seconds" did the trick. And no, I have no desire to participate in this experiment! I decided to use a Wordpress account. The blog will be about a fairly current movie that I am obsessed with. Thanks for your words.

-Peggy

P.S. - Rose of Cairo, your English sounds (looks) better than that of many Americans! Almost too perfect...

I wouldn't suggest you put such a warning on your blog. First, most people probably wouldn't notice that English isn't your native language. While you may not feel as comfortable writing it, it doesn't feel that way when I read it . I feel quite comfortable and at ease reading all of your posts. So, putting such a warning in my mind will distract from the reader's enjoyment of just reading the words. Second, it'd probably reinforce in your own mind that English isn't your native language and may hold you back from getting even better at it. Kind of like LOA Maybe?

So If I were ya, I'd just go ahead and post in English and forget about mentioning that it's not your native language. In fact, I never had the idea that you felt that way about your English until this post. I look forward to seeing your blog!

Too late!

But don't worry, I wrote it only on one of my two blogs and only in the "about me" page. Not at the top of every post

So, will you join us, Seeker5? Your success stories Blog is positive and fits perfectly in our experiment! Doesn't it, impaul99?

Peggy, you're going to write a complete blog about one movie?

(It's ok if you decide to leave it up after reading my wonderful explanation of why you shouldn't)

But don't worry, I wrote it only on one of my two blogs and only in the "about me" page. Not at the top of every post

So where is your famous blog at? Am I going to have to imagine it instead of looking at it like I have to imagine other things I can't look at?

So, will you join us, Seeker5? Your success stories Blog is positive and fits perfectly in our experiment! Doesn't it, impaul99?

Well, once I've got the blog up I'd join you guys up, but I do need to get something up first! What host are you using btw?
