Blogging as conversation? Let’s NOT talk. Let’s take ACTION

In a very funny post, We suck! We suck! Nicholas Carr asks:

Who exactly crowned “conversation” king? … Conversation isn’t king. Good products and services at fair prices are king - always were, always will be.

Ouch. Yes, companies should be listening to bloggers. They should have many Technorati watch lists, to hear what bloggers are saying. But if there are problems — fix them. Consumers want to know that when they buy a lemon or any product that doesn’t work, they’ll get a replacement.

A lot of the “blogging as conversation” nonsense was started by PR people/ bloggers. I love PR people, I really do, but spin is in their genes: it’s not meant to be taken seriously.

Write PLR
Discover Private Label Rights (PLR) , a sizzling HOT new way to make money as a writer

The basic idea of PLR content is that it's content which is sold to people to edit, mash up, or use directly on their Web sites. PLR content may be articles, ebooks, reports, or even audio. It's CONTENT - stuff for Web sites - in its generic form.

If you can write ten PLR articles in a week, you can make $4000 a week

Sounds weird, but it's true. Many writers are already cashing in on PLR, and you can too.

"Instant PLR Author: Make Money Writing Private Label Rights Products" shows you how.
