Disappointed with guestblogging.com

I wish I had Not Gone To This Webinar

   My Review of guestblogging.com: I sadly fell for an e-mail AD that promised to show people how to make $500 with Guest Posting. Interesting, I love making money blogging. I ended up in an hour and half talk that was very much a waste of my time. It is a big AD to sell a guest blogging class. They said they give out certification but would not answer what governing power gives them accreditation to do so. Anyone can make a certificate! I should make one up to give to them, something along the lines of FAIL!

What guestblogging.com is Selling

 In short, they offer to help you with your writing and pitching to large blogs. They tell you to sell something using links in your guest post, services, programs, e-books to make money.

The truth about guest blogging advertising

 When I asked why they expect bloggers to let them post advertising (What those links are!) They said it is an exchange for the great content. Only we know that great blogs do not lack great content. They already have that. "Great Content" are key words basically wanting bloggers to work for free to post their advertising for free. Remember bloggers pay to host their blogs and that content! Jon tried to say it isn't ethical to charge for advertising.

 I asked Jon if a magazine would post free advertising, even if it was "great content" for free. He did not respond. (Most people wanting to take advantage of bloggers don't respond to that question.) I asked if TV networks would post advertising for free even if the commercial or infomercial was "great content" and he didn't respond to that either. Why? Because we know the truth.

 The fact is, a blog is an online publication with costs of it's own. If you want to make money from someones publication platform, you should expect to pay. No matter how great your advertisement is. Google knows about paid guest post and that is why we have to disclose them!

 Shame on you guestblogging.com

When Bloggers Make Everyone Look Bad

Blogging Drama

This might not shock you but there can be more than a little bit of Drama in the blogging world. As I mentioned in the last post bloggers can really guard their contact list and there can be a lot of jealousy. Groups come and go, break and reform. It can be rather fluid. I try to keep clear of things but sometimes it gets so messy I have to step in. 

I saw something tonight from a blogger that really shook me up. I will not comment on her lack of professionalism but I wanted to share how Sheree LaTonya Lewis attacked another blogger who runs a group that Sheree was removed from for trolling. I think why she was removed is made very clear by her own words and jealousy. I feel badly for how she makes all bloggers look. Please take care if you have anything to do with her blog detroitmomandherviews.

When I didn't think it could get worse..... it did. 

Here is the whole sad thing: 

Sheree LaTonya Lewis

Glad to be out of the Small Bloggers Help Group ran by the Ugly White Witch & her man. All because I called her out as a Pagan & Atheist. Afterall, what help can an Ugly, Fat, Dumb wannabe Blogger do to help anyone with her whining ass? ‪#‎RunTellThat‬ ‪#‎Bitches‬

  Gina -- It's also pretty childish to make a post about this. You call her childish but your actions speak volumes of your maturity. She is not a racist....wouldn't YOU find it odd to be sent an invite for something that is totally NOT you?

  Heather -- Yes I totally agree with Gina. Seriously I though we were all past this high school bull shit. She is hardly a racist, not is she fat the last time I checked being pregnant is beautiful. As far as men go its a open world for blogging and plenty of wonderful men blog too. I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities in life. Whether then sit here and bash another blogger focus on your own life and blog.

  Kimberly -- It is pathetic that as bloggers and women to be acting this way. I am not going to call you racist or hateful but you must know how you are coming off right? This is very unprofessional and hypocritical given your blogs "saying" at the top about helping other women. As it says... a special kind of hell. As women, as bloggers, we need to do better!

  Sheree LaTonya Lewis Oh Wow! Her Minions have come to her defense! I really don't care what either of you feel or think. I can write a post on just about any thing I choose. Not only is she a Racist, she is Dumb, Fat when & when not Knocked up. Her husband is NOT a blogger just a CREEPY stalker. Both of you have a cult like mentality and should REALLY get a clue. Remember BIMBO 1 & BIMBO 2 you are coming to MY PAGE defending this WICCA WITCH! You to BIMBOS Aren't even my friends and yet you feel obligated to come here and spout off your opinions? Really? Save your comments for the kindergartners who give a Fuck!

  Sheree LaTonya Lewis Oh & Awesome blogger Heather  instead of telling me to re-evaluate my priorities in life, why don't you take an English class or two or three! It's not Whether it's rather. 3rd grade education having ass! Being pregnant is beautiful for the Human race just not you drones of Satan's Spawn!

I feel badly reporting on this but it was just so shocking to see and I think a good example of how bloggers should not be behaving. In my opinion, while I wouldn't tell a company not to work with this blogger, I certainly wouldn't recommend her. Please know that not all bloggers are like this but it might be important to know that some are.

(I am reporting on a post made public by that blogger that she wanted the world to see so here it is. Sad as it is.)
