I started off being so impressed with Seth Godin’s blog. Now I’m not so keen. Firstly, his blog about the ‘new’ marketing – first find ten people, then they will spread the word and do it all for you. Hmm.! Haven’t small businesses been doing that for some time, along with other marketing methods? And then – finding ten people who will spread the word about you. Ten? Who will go out and get you ten more people each?? That’s a lot. So, less impressed now. And he’s a bit boysy. And there’s no way of commenting on his blogs.

Obviously, Seth himself has been roped into that kind of marketing for this Chris Guillebeau person. Seemed quite interesting at first , and claimed to be unconventional. But isn’t. He seems a nice young man( I can say that nowadays), writes well and is very very very enthusiastic about how you can make money and be just like him (only not so successful, as he’s so very very enthusiastic). That’s not supposed to be the point of his blog, newsletter and website, but it is.

So I’m unsubscribing now.

NB. I say enthusiastic, he says passionate.
