Enter The No Guru Zone
A few years ago most people had never heard of blogging. Now, everyone wants to be an expert blogger. It seems like you don’t have to go far to find the gurus harping up this and hyping up that. The truth is, I’d only consider a handful of people online to be expert enough at blogging to call them a guru, and I don’t think any of them would call themselves a guru.
But if you go to any of the popular social networks online you’ll meet some gurus that I’ve never heard of. Probably a few you’ve never heard of either. Some of them have taken to calling themselves social media gurus, which I’m sure is a category that doesn’t even exist.
At Blog Content Provider, we don’t consider ourselves gurus. We consider ourselves consultants who are willing to share our hard-earned knowledge with business professionals who are considering a blog as a means of marketing. If that describes you then we’d like to talk to you. Enter the No Guru Zone.
Why You Shouldn’t Listen To The Gurus
The gurus want to sell you books. They are full of advice about how you should do this or you should do that. But they aren’t holding your hand while you’re doing it, are they?
It’s nice that they want to share their knowledge. Isn’t it? I mean, they’re not giving it away. It’s not free. There is a price tag on it. But your success doesn’t ride on that price tag. They get paid whether you succeed or not.
The fact of the matter is, online marketing comes in different shapes and sizes. What works for one situation may not work for another. A blog is an instrument. In the right hands it can play a beautiful tune. To someone else it may just make a bunch of noise. At Blog Content Provider, we consider ourselves your personal guide to blogging and when it comes to blog marketing, if you don’t succeed then you don’t succeed. Our business model is based on your continued success. If you don’t make then we don’t make it. What guru is going to tell you that? Do you get a refund on that e-book if you fall on your face? Will he retract his advice? If we don’t help you succeed, you can fire us. And that’s why we bank on what we say. Because we’re doing it.
