Healthy Energy Drink Club Interviews Jack Humphrey about Blogging

Here at Healthy Energy Drink Club we had the privilege of interviewing Jack Humphrey of the Friday Traffic Report and also the membership site Blog Success.

Jack takes the time to answer questions on what he would do if he was just starting a new business. It is not like it was a few years back when you had to have your URL with the exact keywords of choice, it really is not that critical anymore. Obviously it does not hurt if you do, but don’t think that if you cannot get the exact URL that you will not still find success. That simply is not true.

It has a lot to do with your content and using your keywords in the posts of your blogs, it is not even a deal breaker if you are not using the WordPress platform for your blog. What is important is that you are blogging, on WordPress, Blogger TypePad or some platform. We hear so much today about Twitter but the fact according to recent statistics is that at least 50% of people who signup for a Twitter account quit tweeting after 30 days. How amazing is that. It is kind of the mentality of I will try it, I might like it. I am from the old school that believes it is not in the trying but in the doing that gets the job done. Why? Because trying means that if everything does not go the way you want it you will quit, wrong mindset. Doing on the other hand is I am going to start and do what it takes to make it happen, right mindset.

There are a lot of abandoned properties on the Internet, whether it is WordPress blogs, Blogger blogs, Twitter accounts, Squidoo lenses or Digg accounts. Why? Because a lot of people do not realize that success does not come from just signing up for one of these accounts. It seems that is the consensus though, sign up and it will happen in some magical way, but when reality settles in they forsake it and therefore you have all of these abandoned Web 2.0 properties, just sitting there with no activity.

Jack Humphrey and I totally agree it is not about starting but about staying the course, being in and at it for the long haul. You have to be committed and stay the course, rejoice if you find quick success but don’t quit if you don’t. Stay at it and just keep moving in the direction that you want to go.
