What bloggers world of Warcraft should learn!
Oh, what a strange article title. ;-)
What has to do world of Warcraft with bloggers?
But once you read the article, you will know where I’m headed.
WoW the top dog
If you are not so familiar in the area of the MMORPG, so the online role-playing can start of Warcraft (WoW) perhaps not so much with world.
It is the by far most successful online role-playing Blizzard brings the operator in the year, more than one billion euros.
Currently approximately 11 million people play this game and paid monthly between 12 and 14 euro.
But what has to do WoW now with bloggers? It is of course the topic of money on the Internet. And since one can learn a lot from WoW and its competitors.
Market power and unrealistic expectations
The situation on the Internet is similar to the situation with WoW and its competitors.
WoW is by far the most successful. Other online role playing can be very happy when they reach a million paid players.
Lately some games manufacturers have tried with other online gambling imitate the success of WoW and failed.
This is an important lesson for bloggers who want to make money with their blog.
Because the Internet is not only one, but relatively few very successful blogs. Overall, people like John Chow are the exception.
But unfortunately there are many bloggers who take exactly such bloggers as a model and then wonder if they do not succeed.
Why you should become less like WoW
No one will complain if he eventually make money what John Chow brings home.
But this is not realistic. Some comments on my blog be surprised as well. There is spoken on the subject Blogeinnahmen either peanuts or “be rich”. For some bloggers, there seems to be even no “of live”.
And these bloggers try simply copy a successful blog and earn as much money with the same approaches. And here again WoW’s competitors in the game. They have also tried that to copy successful concept of WoW.
Unfortunately you have except perhaps the picture hardly something better, but rather much worse made. And therefore most failed.
Instead, new online role-playing and new blogs a niche search and hypocrite quite differently than the hunters. Then the chances are much better than if it is only a further WoW John Chow – clone.
The early bird…
buy your tickets, it says.
Another lesson can be drawn from the WoW success.
The more you start more shortcomings and problems be forgiven. WoW was immature at the beginning also and had some problems. But the role play there for 4 years now and during this time have been improved so much and so many content has come to new role-playing games have it very hard.
Even if it today at its launch are better, than WoW 4 years ago.
This means for bloggers prefer something rather start a new blog and ahead of the competition to be online. Then you can gain experience and build a large article root.
Lessons for bloggers
You can draw the following lessons from the success of WoW:
- Not only at the “Reich will” think. You must have the same success as the market leader to be successful. An achievable and realistic goal is to live well of them.
- No successful concepts copy. Should instead learn from successful blogs and make it better in your own niche.
- Quick start. The competition is still not so great, you have it easier to establish the own blog. Then comes the competition, you have an important advantage.
Conclusion
You can learn also from online role-playing and I finally had the possibility of my hobby WoW in an article at bring. :-)
