Well, unfortunately, that is what the hype promises... and its sad that these programs still work (at least for now). I probably do not have your experience in marketing, but I guess my journey of IT education and its related businesses makes me feel concerned when I see the way some people are building "blogs" today.

That is such a silly value proposition and a very tough way of making money. Plus, it also reeks of insincerity. Even though I am a marketer, both offline and online, I believe in offering genuine advice and inputs in my blog. Much of this isn't plucked from the air but based on real life experience. In other words, been there done that. I agree entirely that blogging should not be about fooling people to visit your website and just merely clicking for cash.

For example, some of the less business related topics could be parenting, feng shui, bird watching, hi-fi audio, gardening, travel... so many! There are always many sides to see it when you don't know something, and I think choosing to see it as an opportunity to learn and to help out is a great perspective to take. Hey Shi and Ketyung,

Hot blogs like Engadget and others also having techies readers. Don't u thing one day uncles and aunties would become techies? I do not know what specific content uncles and aunties interested haha, maybe about cooking does better. The only need is patience, most people are short-term minded :), I do know some mums are eager on blogging and they've been doing good, just like the 5xmum :) anyway happy blogging Haha shi heng, I’m not thinking about money, I’m blogging for interest and fun only, I’m a business man, only blog during leisure, I’ve got several more profitable business, although my major is in IT :) Blogging is more about the Internet, just fyi, most TechCrunch’s readers are techies… that’s why they managed to create buzz.

Of course they are stubborn people if they do not see the reason to change. If they can change so easily then <em>where got money to make</em>! And I think young people are stubborn too if you ask the uncles and aunties... :D Ketyung,

I think the people you mean by "uncles and aunties" deserve a chance to learn, and I believe that they can. If you think they are "stubborn" then that is the way they will seem to you. I personally think that they are the best people out there to get started with blogging because they are the generation with the years of life and business experience. My mum is a great example, and I'm very proud of her. Although she hasn't started blogging (yet), she is aware of technology like MSN and Skype! Thanks for the great example of TechCrunch. Unfortunately, out of the 57 million blogs, there aren't many like TechCrunch (I would say, less than 100!) so while it is possible, it would be necessary to set better expectations. Besides, not everyone is prepared to dive into blogging full time. What blogs can do for a 1/2 hour post a day is to extend the reach of a brand, and that is what I'm sharing. Ketyung,

(I saw ur pic u posted of ur training, quite lots of them). Well, they are the stubborn group and might claim you're trying 2grab some money from them.... Internet can let u make money, if u have niche content and manage to grab few hundred thousands of readers. Just like Mike Arrington's TechCrunch, he's got the expertise in those interesting and hot web 2.0 trend, and he's making more than $50K only from the ads on his site. Anyway, keep it up :) Kian ann;
