Mango and me. This'll bring my readership up!

Too busy right now to type for long, but I have to type SOMETHING or the search engines’ll never forgive me.

I just wanted to say that …

I’ve never worked with a partner in a business that could be copied in 24 hours by anybody named Howie or Joel.

I’ve never worked in an Internet business where it was even remotely feasible for me to have articles outsourced, period, never mind to non-English speaking people. Or to have any document, never mind an entire ebook, outsourced.

I’ve never worked in an Internet business where my partner was just a guy looking for something to sell. They’ve all had expertise in some area, and I helped them use the Internet to sell it.

In fact, all this “create your product and web site in 24 hours” has created a rotting logjam of crap where information is supposed to be.

And this rotting logjam of crap is all search engine optimized, making it harder for real information, and real businesses, to bubble to the surface in the search results. Thanks!

Google is left with the hair-pulling job of dealing with well over a million web pages being auto-generated garbage every day, optimized for whatever is working for search ranking.

Good old 'hammock on the beach guy', mythically running his Internet empire.

And another thing …

If somebody just handed you and 30,000 other people a list of 35 nifty new niche markets and you pick one to market to, it may be time to stop and consider things a bit more. Or you could pick one of those niches and throw your back out trying to “Write your own ebook and start selling it in just 24 hours!”. Up to you.

If you’ve been struggling online and you can look at what you’re doing and honestly admit “This is not a real business”, maybe you should ditch it and go find a REAL business to work with/for.
