cougarmark: Random Thoughts and a new game

I spend quite a while every day reading up on all aspects of online marketing. I feel it is very beneficial and keeps me in the loop on what is going on all around us.

Amit Mehta is my new favorite blogger – he is very up front and just says it how it is. Today he wrote a great blog to which I responded.

Dilemas
So here are a few dilemmas I have when blogging.
There is just too much to talk about! I can’t stick to just marketing – there is so much more to life than just this little niche. Fun, exciting yes, but there’s more.

So forgive me if I am not just an online marketing blogging type of guy. I have more to say than that.

Anyway – here are some random thoughts.

Don’t be a thin affiliate – create something you really care about.
I did just that the other day with two new blogs – one about Smart Cars – I think they are great but they certainly have their issues. But – at least they are an attempt to get back at the money hungry big oil execs…..don’t believe the lies about the prices – sure the price of oil is high – but the gas price is much too high for us here in the US – only 20 years ago we were paying a buck. Over the past 5 years or so the oil execs have played a game on us – it looks like this – and the media have played into it!

The Oil Game - Bounce
The media are great – I have had some good experiences with them – but they are forgetful for some reason.

They can only see so far in the past.

How come the media can't do a real story which combines all of the facts. Oil execs huge bonuses, Price of gas going up and NOT coming back down, and the rest of the story. Every spring the stories are the same - gas going up - new blend - every fall same - gas going done - regular blend - but! the prices don't go down - to where they were. They are playing with us - and it ain't tricking me!

Hey oil dudes - Meet my new goal - getting rid of you completly!
