(Honestly, my central beef with a lot of the suddenly-emerging criticism of the SSC community and its relationship with neoreactionaries is that it appears to issue from time travelers from around 6 years ago and bears little resemblence to what the overall vibe here has been for years. I'm reminded of how I once commented here quite a long time ago about how I never really heard about neoreactionaries anymore or even saw their ideology referred to -- I'm guessing this was around 2017 and distinctly remember writing it although for some reason can't find the post to link to. I only inhabit certain rationalist spaces and not others though, e.g. reddit.)

Anyway, this evening I'm kind of shaken after seeing a link to a certain Twitter post which appears to have been since deleted (the Twitter post, not the post linking to it, which in turn I definitely don't want to link to but, well, it'll be visible in reblog chains involving at least one very popular Tumblr user, so...). The choice to screenshot something Scott told the screenshotter in confidence seven years ago is supposedly justified as being a Big Reveal about Scott's true relationship to neoreactionaries, but... it doesn't really reveal anything that wasn't already apparent to me? That is, the fact that Scott (we're talking back in early 2014 here) liked some neoreactionaries personally and thought that a good bit of nrx ideas were garbage but others contained interesting nuggets of insight worth at least engaging with? He straight-up said this on one of his SSC posts at the time (I think this was the Anti-Neoreactionary FAQ?), for crying out loud!

This is a great question because I have come to learn, since starting my online business, that all over the world everyone is looking for the same thing, a genuine work from home job or business. There are many opportunities out there, some are scams but I strongly believe in the age-old rule … if it is too good to be true then, it is too good to be true! If you ask one of these people promoting personal development products, telling you that your annual income will become your monthly income, ask them if they are making their annual income every month, they ‘always’ reply well, no, but I know someone who is … These systems rely on people who are keen to change their lives and become motivated very quickly by the idea of a better financial life. After all, we all want that don’t we? Needless to say, I have trialed a lot of systems just to see for myself if they are a scam or not … more often than not they are a scam. But things like surveys and mystery shoppers are quite genuine, however, I never personally made any money out of them, surveys usually have a minimum withdrawal amount and interchange commission with reward points, etc. so it ends up being quite hard to earn much money if any. The typing ads or filling in forms is my favorite scam, because not only do you wear the cost of the Google ads you are typing you also pay them for the privilege of doing so ???. Also if you don’t know anything about Google Adwords and pay per click advertising then it can cost you a lot more money than you ever planned. It is much like playing the pokies, addictive, and expensive. Please note those scams have nothing to do with Google other than the scammers using Google as their vehicle. Finding a work from home job is hard work, I know! I made a business out of doing that. But they are out there and the key to success is flexibility. You are not always going to find the ideal job, but if you are prepared to do outbound or inbound tele sales, internet researching, etc. then some jobs will enable you to work from home, or even during school hours. Increasingly there are more services like mine that help mothers find work from home jobs on the internet, or you can approach local businesses directly and let them know you are available. As I mentioned above the main thing people all over the world have been looking for is a genuine work from home job or business. This was the driving force for me to build and launch my new online business. It has been set up to help all find a unique business idea and set up an online business of their own. When I had the idea for this project, it cost me a total of $0.00 to get started, so I want to show other people how to start an online business that is creative, fun, and most importantly rewarding. My goal is to help 100 people start an online business in 2021.

There are plenty of people offering business ideas or systems, but you have to pay before you even get to see what you might be getting into. So it is up to you to use your best judgment when assessing opportunities, and trusting their systems and you will be on the right track.

The main one of these, which I’d been consuming on pretty much a daily basis for some four years, is The Young Turks (as evidenced by the fact that I’ve mentioned them quite a few times in posts here). I like and admire a lot of things about how the oldest continuously-operating channel on YouTube is run and on some level felt a personal connection to its main hosts (who, whatever their many flaws, I find fairly genuine), but eventually their content began to feel too toxic to be beneficial to me on the net. I came to realize that what I liked best of their content was thrashing Trump and keeping up with his many scandals, but that they are insufferable pretty much all the rest of the time, both in their railings against mainstream Democrats and their hero-worshipping of figures like Bernie Sanders and AOC. I figured that with Trump (mostly) out of the picture, their insufferable side would fully take over, so I decided that a happy little video of theirs just after the inauguration about Bernie Sanders in his mittens would be the very last TYT video I would watch. (Let them “go out” smiling adoringly at Bernie.) I’d write a post mortem post about my time keeping up with TYT and the basic issues I have with Cenk and Ana and the others, but I’m not sure I’ll ever find the energy.

Some culture war channels I’m keeping, particularly Bloggingheads, because I still feel like on the net their content enlightens me and keeps me happy, although I feel burned out on hashing and rehashing of pure politics and am cutting down on my frequency of listening to certain of their conversationalists.

Here is a bit of what I humorously imagined to be their final episode (which in real life turned out to be as dry as usual and not so much of a "goodbye episode").

Educate - This ties in directly to the Value above - people's time is precious and therefore you need to really teach them something. Spend some time thinking about what you want them to learn or take away from the video after they're done watching it and tell them about it at the beginning of the video.

Direct - Take some time in your video to share with people what you'd like them to do with the information. If it's for entertainment then that's easy - Laughter; however, if you're trying to educate someone or inspire them to ACT in order to change their life then you need to tell them to do that.

Blogging SUCCESS Is About Strategy 

That's right, procedure. 

Regardless of what you do, the most ideal approach to blog is deliberately – however what does that truly mean? 

Indeed, it implies before you ever choose to manufacture another blog that gets no traffic and put a huge amount of time into composing articles that will never get found – you have to IDENTIFY subjects that may yield achievement.

An enormous measure of your capacity to succeed is needy whereupon subjects you decide to blog about. This is on the grounds that a few themes are RIDICULOUSLY over-soaked with data over the web. For example, the odds of you positioning a blog about 'Skateboarding' isn't especially high. 

Presently, if you somehow happened to decide to blog about something somewhat less secured on the web (like 'drift fishing') you may have significantly more achievement. 

"However, in what manner can distinguish a decent subject to blog about?" … I thought you'd never inquire! Presently, hold tight only a second and I'll let you know.

Presently, onto thinking of a blogging system that will get you traffic and permit you to adapt your sites.

This article shares some of the best blogging techniques that you can use in promoting your internet home based business. Blog Commenting One good way to find targeted quality readers for your blog, is through blog commenting on other similar niche blogs. If you focused on similar niche topic on other blogs, the readers will be very interested in what you have written as well as your valued opinion.

However as there are no two marketers who have the same approach in providing profitable solutions on their online business opportunities or ideas in promoting an internet home based business, the continuous interaction among bloggers would always be welcomed by all. You may not see immediate traffic growth, but if you make commenting on blogs a daily practice, you will over time, see quite a big number of bloggers of similar niches, visiting your blog. Frequent Blog Posts Now that you have learned that Blog Commenting will over time, bring targeted traffic to your blog, you really need to ensure that you always have good, unique and informative contents to offer your readers. Place yourself as the one looking for useful information or brilliant ideas to make money for your own internet home based business. You would like to see creative and unique contents that you think is vital to your business growth or your new online business opportunity. You should aim to write at least two such blog posts in a week. Title tags are what comes up at the top of the browser when viewing a page and shows up in search engine results as the title of your post. It is also the only information available to the surfer after he puts his query in the search engine box, so it is important to put your best effort here. Your title tag description should include your keywords you are targeting for your internet home based business. It must therefore describe your contents not only accurately but convey a well-written message to entice the reader to want to click further to read up the information that you offer for your online business opportunity. The keywords in your title tag may or may not be necessarily found in your website content page. Get Feedback From Your Readers Have you ever felt like impossible to write fresh, unique content for your blog? Sometimes you also felt like you have reached a stage where you dont have any new developments to update on your internet home based business. How are you expected to satisfy your readers demands? Well, one very good way is to obtain a feedback from your readers. You can easily put a feedback section on your blog and customize some simple questions to obtain such feedback that will give you more ideas to write about. However do ensure that you have sufficient people participating in the feedback before you arrived at the results. Guest Blogging Guest blogging really means you write a blog post at someone elses blog or someone else writes and publishes a post on yours. One of the benefits of doing this is provide your readers with fresh articles to read or showing a different aspect of the topic. It also provides better exposure for you and your internet home based business which you are promoting. Depending on how high the page rank of the blog, you may enjoy higher traffic on your blog posts and more importantly to your main webpage. One of the benefits of guest blogging is that you are no longer bound by rules governed by article directories, allowing you more links in your post, or anchor text pointing to your website. Guest blogging therefore helps to generate more traffic for your online business opportunity besides helping to establish your name in the niche market and lets you reach out to a wider audience to promote your internet home based business. Google's freshness update has created a surge in business website blogging. The update has affected a large percentage of search results, giving companies a real reason to integrate their blog page into their main website. The update has meant that the first few pages of search results are usually populated with blogs and articles that relate to that specific term; more so than business websites (not including long-tail keyword or local searches). As an example, if you were interested in buying an iPhone and searched for an exact term 'iPhone' (short-term keyword), the first page of results will be filled with blogs, reviews, news articles and message forum posts relating to that topic. Conversely, if a search is made for 'buying an iPhone' (long-tail keyword) or 'mobile phone shops in London' (local keyword), the result pages will be populated with business websites. This article will cover two related topics: how to improve your website's SEO with blogging and how to improve your blog's SEO.
