Blog to All in Response to My *&%$% Blog
Some of you didn't like my blog this morning. You took it as bashing. So to anyone who thinks I'm bashing a newbie, hell no. I am a newbie myself - I've only been here a couple of months. I wouldn't bash anyone on a first or last lens or article because mine are far from perfect. FAR.
If anything folks, I'm loyal to all that work hard to make a living - whether in internet marketing or otherwise.
So... I will offer a deeper explanation....
It was obvious to me that the person was trying to make a quick buck without thinking about quality....after looking further.... I discovered that the articles were plagiarized, spun, respun, and the content had been copy/pasted into a lens. Plus I found the original article... and it was quite good.
What the person did was steal content and put a slang-type spin on the intro to make it his/her own and then he/she re-spun the hell out of it and NEVER checked it. It was LOADED with misspellings and grammatical errors. I don't mean innocent newbie mistakes or things that we all do when we're talking (writing) like we speak. No. This was a blast-out of content that was not his/hers - and I'm wondering now if the whole thing was outsourced and nobody checked the work. Not to mention the ridiculous comment at the end that was added by the plagiarizer... "not sure if I would even spend the money on this but maybe you would".
Seriously?
Again, we are all trying to succeed... And if any one of my fellow IMers, WA or not, had his/her content stolen, I would feel just as bad as I would if it were my own.. because someone has stolen my content recently and it sux.
No newbie or veteran bashing from me, ever. I am venting about someone who is trying to beat the system by taking advantage of your hard work...or mine.
Take it for what it was meant to be... a warning to all who work hard to make a buck... there are vulchers out there.
That's all folks....
Oh and by the way... I thought I'd try outsourcing and see what kind of quality came back. I got scammed. It only cost a few bucks but I never got anything back for it. Live and learn.
