This one of the ground breaking posts I have ever made on this blog. Ground breaking because I had been working on this project for over 10 months now. Ground breaking because I have not seen anyone on the internet talk about this even though most of the marketers are trying this in bits & pieces.
If you have known me for sometime you know how deep I’m into blogging. Over the years I have tried all kinds of models, platforms and technologies in the blogging realm. I have conducted several seminars, workshops on Blogging. Moreover I’m just wrapping up a book that I have written on blogging which will be available on Amazon shortly.
Coming back to the subject of Blogging…
..No matter which way you look at it, blogging is a difficult business. Thanks to all the technological advancements, blogs have now become true sales collateral of marketers, provisioning platforms of creators and lead generation machines of business owners. Of-course the usages are many.
Despite of all this blogging is a difficult business when you measure your success with direct money you generate from it. For example most of the money I generate from this blog is from the initial goodwill and subsequent consulting or speaking engagements.
Because of the difficulties of traditional blogging, I explored Niche blogging a while ago. While the opportunity was huge soon I found myself spending countless hours in updating plug-ins, changing themes, coding affiliate offers etc & etc. While money was there, what is the point of making that kind of money when you don’t have time or energy to relish it.
About 10 months ago I decide on experimenting with what I now call “R-Blogging”
What is R-Blogging?
The letter “R” doesn’t stand for “Rated”, instead it means “Reverse”. Why Reverse? Well in this mode of blogging you will do everything in the opposite.
-
Traditional Blogs are content intensive. R-Blogs are NOT content intensive.
Traditional Blogs are about design & graphics. R-Blogs are NOT about design or graphics
Traditional Blogs are about Content. R-Blogs are about Superior Content.
Traditional Blogs are not Marketer Friendly. R-Blogs are extremely marketer friendly
Traditional Blogs are all about WORK. R-Blogs are all about Life Style.
…
…
Imagine blogging and yet not blogging. Imagine creating content and yet not creating content. Imagine calling yourself a blogger and yet you are not a blogger but a marketer. Most bloggers don’t make enough money but all R-Bloggers I know make money a ton of money.
I’ll share the exact operational model of a R-Blog in a later post. But all I can tell you know is, its a revolutionary way of delivering your content to your readers. Pretty powerful.
I’ll share an example of a “R-Blog” in an upcoming post. I’m still experimenting with it and will have the results soon.
To Your Success!

Hey Srini,
This post caught my attention and have some meat in it. I am really curious to see your operational and business aspect of this R- Blogging concept.
Talk Soon

Hey Gaj,
You bet, but both those aspects come at a cost :)- Not a lot but a small.
Cheers!

Hey Saripalli,
I can really relate to this post because, I see my growing my blog(it’s in the infant stage)as fun…..it never feels like work, and I’ve always envisioned it as you said “marker friendly”.
I’m a giver by nature, and sometimes a bit of a perfectionist…so I enjoy giving away as much value as possible to anyone who needs it….and ensure it’s quality is high.
I know this will build my following–in the future.
Thanks
Hey Srini,
Susan here again. I have 11 blogs that are supposes to be more hands off and e-commerce focused. I can’t wait until I see what it is you mean by R-blogging. I don’t know if these would fit the bill but I would be willing to do some tweaking if it is all about lifestyle. That’s what I’m interested in!
