DIY is not for everyone

Despite being a trend these days, the Do It Yourself concept – referred to as DIY from here on – is nothing new. It’s been around since the Stone Age, ever since people decided to use sticks and rocks as tools and weapons. So, if you think you’re one inch cooler than the next guy, forget it, you’re getting the whole concept wrong.

Who should go for DIY?

There are three types of people that should go for DIY, and three only:

  • Industry PROs;
  • Industry savvy people;
  • Amateurs.

Let see what each of them canĀ achieve through DIY.

Are you an Internet Marketer? No, you’re not!

OK, I’ve been dying to write about this for a while so bear with me for a little rant-type of post in today’s schedule. With the explosion of all social media websites and platforms like WordPress and Blogger, nowadays everyone has access to publishing and networking. The more time passes, the more such “Internet Marketer” and “Social Media Expert” profiles seem to rises around us, invading our Twitter accounts – following – and our Facebook accounts – connecting.

In a tough economical climate and with the rapid development that has always been the online’s industry trademark, it’s only natural for people to try different ideas and approaches as means to create either an extra income or a stable full-time income in this field. That’s understandable, but what I simply don’t get is where do these “experts” come from?

How to waste my time on Twitter

And anyone’s else for that matter. It’s not hard, you just have to ignore the most basic common sense rules of web-sharing and communication.

Be an ‘Internet Marketing Guru’

Yes, a guru, a ninja or a rockstar. You choose your title. After that, add me on Twitter. I’m a trusty fellow and allow Twitter to announce me when I’m added so that I can check everyone out and see their beautiful tweets. But not you Mister I.M. Rockstar. Let’s see how your profile looks:

  • Following: 65.000 (roughly)
  • Followers: 64.000 (roughly)
  • Tweets: 5000 (roughly)

Out of all these people you’re following or follow you, you TALKED to how many? You retweeted how many links from them, or from other accounts/websites? Why are your last 5-6 pages filled with links to your amazing schemes to make money online fast and online sales pages to obscure ebooks for which people have to pay to learn that they can use AdSense to monetize their blogs? Come on! Add me! See if I care!

Twitter is about communication. About states. About the moment. Twitter is about friends and great content. Twitter is not about “I’m a guru in my own backyard!”. Twitter is about “I’m an Internet Marketing ENTHUSIAST, and I want to SHARE some amazing content with you!”

Thoughts on Discrimination

This is not the average blog post on Blogsessive and it’s not going to become a habit approaching such matters. Ramblings are not what I love doing. This is merely a way to express my concerns about online discrimination. My thoughts about certain things that many people take for granted while other wish they could do or have.

Ever since I started in the online business I had to face certain fears and concerns that the international public had about eastern european people, people coming from the ex-soviet block. More specific, we Romanians have been seen in every movie or TV news as orphans, beggars, gypsies and fortune tellers. Believe me, that stamp is quite hard to fight sometimes.

When the internet era came along, we had to fight one more prejudice: the Romanian hacker. It would be hypocritical of me not to admit that we had (have) our share of “hackers” and lowlifes trying to scheme other honest people in the online environment. But are we all hackers? Are we all gypsies? Beggars? Orphans? NO!

Is every Arab a terrorist? Is every black man a drug dealing gang-banger? Some people can’t help thinking that they could be.

That’s prejudiced. And prejudice leads to mass discrimination.
