5 Things a Blogger should Learn from Michael Jackson?

Shanker Bakshi — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:45:36 +0000

I am great fan of Michael Jackson as I mentioned several time here, he was a great guy to follow , learn and motivate yourself. In fact whatever I do in life I try to relate it somehow, somewhere to the man himself, no wonder I started this blog on his birthday, and it was heart breaking when last we got the news of his sad demise.

Now if you ask me what’s the logic of starting a blogging site on his birthday and what’s the point in relating the whole blogging thing with Michael Jackson, then I will only say, that he was a legend and everyone have something to learn form him, no matter in which business you are , no matter in what sort of service you provide you can always aspire and encourage yourself taking the examples from life and style of the great Michael Jackson,

Here are some lessons that you can learn from the legend;

[1] Make It BIG
Whatever you do in life, try to make it BIG. Michael Jackson videos and Live Shows were always filled with things beyond imaginations. He always wanted to took you to the places you never seen, spacial effects you never witnessed before. During the promotion of HIStory World Tour his “huge statues” were positioned throughout the Europe, it shows how big he want to make things around him.

So as a blogger; If you are blogging for own pleasure then its good; but if you blogging for business then you must make all efforts and work with full force to take it to next level every time you write a post on it.

[2] Be Professional
Not many people knows that no body can replicate the famous “anti-gravity lean” motion, which Michael Jackson did in smooth criminal, because Michael Jackson have a legal copyright, patent to his name [ U.S. Patent No. 5,255,452] for that particular move. You just can’t repeat that action in any of your movie, music video or on stage without his ( or his legal heir’s ) permission.

So a blogger must protect and keep intact his/her intellectual property with copyright, Trade Mark Registration and patent right. Must Protect your domain, website design, contents from coping, plagiarism and misuse of your social identity.

[3] Must Pay Back to The Mother Nature and Society
Michael Jackson once stated in a award function that he feel himself lucky that he can give back something in return, in form of his music and dance, to the society. His song “we are the world” ”USA for AFRICA” is still the biggest in History It became one of the best-selling singles of all time, with nearly 30 million copies sold and millions of dollars donated to famine relief.

You Blogging business is always be depending on your social networking, tell me what you do when someone comes to you for help? Well its give and take. If you just use people for your purpose then you’ll pay the price one day, so always be helpful to others, try yourself, or suggest a way to solve their issue. If someone favors you , its a duty on your part to give back something in return to him/her, as a blogger you can have a mention in a post or help him/her spreading good content.

[4] Be Humble, Down to earth and submissive
Oh, you know very well how humble and sensible he was, he has great regards and gratitude for his fellow singers and other people despite being so successful and so wealthy. When an Indian actor Hritik Roshan met him in New York, Michael introduce himself to Roshan as “Hi, I am Michael Jackson, I am singer, have you heard my songs”. Now thats sheer greatness of this man.

As a blogger you must understand that success bring along lots of evils, you should remain humble and nice and must learn the art of handling success so that it should not go to your head. Eat humble pie when someone point out your mistakes, be ready to face criticism ( Thats surely come along with success) and learn to win hearts.

[4] Never feel old to learn new things
For his concert series ‘This is It” Michael Jackson was asked whether he want to dance with his old trained dance group or would he like to dance with new generation untrained kids for his song “they Don’t really care about us”. And you know what was his answer, yes you guessed it right. He was 50 when he died but he was very young at heart. Still dreams in his eyes that he was wishing to attain. From his childhood to this age he was always ready to incorporate every latest development to his music.

So as a blogger you must keep yourself update with all latest tech development and always be ready to learn new things. There is no age of learning new things and always keep on experimenting with new things.

Thats it ……..there are hundreds of other thing that i can mention here but lets put the stop here…….and remember this great soul on his 52nd birth anniversary.

Blogging is fun, Isn’t it?

So guys whats up, How you doing. Doing great.

A frustrated blogger called me up yesterday, sounding down and out, was very sad, not getting the kind of success he was wishing. He was disappointed because he was not making any money out of blogging. I asked him since how long he is blogging he told me that he started his blogging five or six months back and wrote about 38 blog posts on his blog.

My initial reaction was “okay, your blog is not doing well, go and kill yourself” write a note that you are doing all this because you do not succeed in your “six month blogging” venture.

Hell, Is this the way we look at blogging and affiliate marketing business?

“People are just so drawn in by the sexiness of making money online and the lifestyle that goes with it that they blindly jump in and then wonder why it never worked for them.”

-Jeremy Schoemaker

We need some MMO bloggers in Haiti

Remember one thing, blogging was never meant for making money Online, this is us who commercialize almost everything and find ways to make money out of it. I sees money as a peripheral which comes automatically with success.

Get succed in anything you do and money start flowing into automatically.

Most of the poeple who start blogging believe its the easiest way of making money but thats not completely true, if it is then we can rope in hundred and thousand of Make Money Online bloggers in Haiti and there you are, all problems of poverty warped off.

Don’t do it as you do your Job my brother

Its an art, and it dose not guarantee that after blogging continuously for 30 days you will have a payday where you will be compensated for your time and efforts. if you are doing it as your business then you must prepare to put in your everything into it not just eight hours a day, not five days in a week.

Do you think blogging and affiliate Marketing are now emerging as new sexy career?

Ever met a blogger who claims his blog is The dullest blog in the world. Dave Walker is the guy who call his by by this name. He is not regularly blogging at the World Dullest blog but whenever he writes a new post on it he gets tons of comments on it. ( May be the dullest blogger is not that much dull and dumb

Forget about the name if you read some of the posts there you will find it quite entertaining. Even New York Times once wrote about it [HERE]. “The Dullest Blog in the world” surely is a crazy idea. a couple of months back Dave was also referred as the world worst cartoonist [HERE] by editor of Telegraph Blog Damian Thompson.

Would mind visiting The dullest blog in the world ?

WordPress Founder Ma.tt has also created couple of plugins which comes default with your WordPress Software Package. This is just to show you and make you familiar with functionalities of plugins in WordPress. One of them is Hello Dolly. ( The other one is anti-spam Plugin Akismat) We all know Matt Mullenweg is a great lover of Jazz. Hello dolly is actually a song sung by Singer Louis Armstrong. When you activate this plugin you will randomly see lyric from this famous song Hello, Dolly in the upper right of your admin screen on every page. Ma.tt says about this plugin;

“This is not just a plugin, it symbolizes the hope and enthusiasm of an entire generation summed up in two words sung most famously by Louis Armstrong: Hello, Dolly.”

When I first saw this song I also fallen in love with the great enthusiasm and spirit shown by the singer. I am giving you here the lyrics and video of Hello,Dolly.

Just for your Delight ( We love WordPress and We also love everything fitted with it) Hello, Dolly

Hello Dolly,……well, hello, Dolly
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly…….I can tell, Dolly
You’re still glowin’…you’re still crowin’…you’re still goin’ strong
I feel that room swayin’……while the band’s playin’
One of your old favourite songs from way back when
So….. take her wrap, fellas…….find her an empty lap, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again

Hello Dolly,…..well, hello, Dolly

I feel the room swayin’…while that ole band keeps on playin’
One of your old favourite songs from way back when
So…golly, gee, fellas….find her an empty knee, fellas
