 Hi, I'm Mitch Mitchell. I got a haircut, but I need a shave. I'll get to that at some point maybe tomorrow I don't know anyhow today. I'm going to add to a video I did a couple of weeks ago talking about pop-ups because I just need to at the same time that I did the video I did an article about pop-ups and talked about why I hate them so much Mainly because a lot of the sites you visit have these things pop up as soon as you get there You can't read anything now on my blog I basically have one guy who came in Questioning how come I hated pop-up so much and I'm thinking wait I pretty much told you why I hated it, but he made an assumption based on something I said But it was an assumption because I didn't say it just didn't say it in the blog post I did say it in the video, but he didn't watch the video He couldn't have got it from there And it was still a speculative thing that I mentioned just off the cuff that I wouldn't do Necessarily to put it out there and well, so I may do it for myself because I keep any kind of records Anyhow one of the things he said was no one has ever complained to me about the pop-ups And my thought was of course they haven't complained because most of the people who don't like it get there See a pop-up and leave now his pop-up didn't show up until you got close to the end So, you know, okay, that's not a big deal And if someone had rickle they would have seen that basically Mike Wright is having these things mess with you as soon as you get there and You know not being able to read anything and it's really a mess when you're on mobile When you go to a site and these things pop up and you can't delete them There's just nothing you can do with them and that's really irksome so my friend Brian Decided he was going to write a tongue-in-cheek rebuttal against me And that was interesting and it was fun and he was trying to say people need to lighten up about pop-ups and whatever but Later on he thought about it and he actually acquiesced both in a comment on my blog Comments on his own because he understood my point once again, which are those Intrusive things that just get in the way yet most of the people who commented on his blog decided to promote these things and Basically say hey, we're trying to make money We're trying to do business pop-ups are part of our business people sign up for these things And we should have the right to use them Which is fine one guy in particular who a lot of folks like you know, he's okay I don't have a big problem with him, but he pretty much has said I'm not in business for charity I'm not doing this for charity. This is all for business if you don't care about my content And that's your problem to which my response is well You got a point there if we don't care about your content But the other side of that is that people don't get a chance to read your content and you're just blasting them with something before They see it that how did they know they want to work with you? Curse, you know He's also stated, you know at other times and if you think that you can do stuff on your own Then you're not his type of client anyway, so you know, then he that's real true business But you know, I'm gonna roll this over from just talking about pop-ups to talking about social media and Marketing and social media marketing and whatever in general, you know, I am not against anyone trying to make money online I'm trying to do it indirectly. I mean, I'm trying to put this out there to show what my competency is That's why I have a business channel because I'm trying to show my competency So people may hire me to consult with them or to do work for them Or to come speak to them and pay me because I want to be paid But you know, it's also supposed to be about engagement It's supposed to be about talking to people and what I notice is there's a lot of people putting stuff out me me me My product my product my product, but they're not really engaging anybody unless that person is a potential business Client or customer for them. They don't care about anyone else and you know, I'm sorry But I just I don't agree with that thought I put out these videos for the most part because I'm trying to you know engage people in conversation I don't monetize most of my videos if it gets to a certain number then I'll usually monetize them But I don't usually just start off monetizing and I've been told by a lot of people I should monetize every single post I put out there or every single one of these I put out there I just don't do that. I don't capture email addresses on any of my blogs. I probably should I may do that But having pop-ups, I'm not gonna ever do that. I may have the you know the Email capture thing in the side to do it I mean I still capture it for feeds because I use feed burner So if you decide to subscribe to the blog you put it there I can go see it, but I don't consider that a mailing list That's you know, anyone giving me permission to start sending them all kind of stuff I may do that, but it's gonna be in a sidebar. It's not gonna be intrusive It's not gonna pop up anything and you know, I See this on Google plus and I see it now on LinkedIn and you never used to see that on LinkedIn and You see it on Facebook, but most of the time you see it in a Facebook page or group and that's okay I mean, you know, it's not in the general course of everything But whatever happened to this idea of engagement, you know Just because you want to make money does that mean it that you don't get to show any personality whatsoever I'm sorry, but I don't trust people who don't give me some kind of idea their personality now Maybe they're jerks and they know it and they don't want to show any personality. That's on them But you know for me, I like to talk to people I mean I'd love to talk to more people on On YouTube and on a couple of my videos. I've talked to a lot of people I'd like to talk to people on Twitter. I talk to people all the time on Twitter Facebook and you know what Facebook is mainly for people that I know or get to know I don't just have a lot of conversations there I write people and I've been written to by people on LinkedIn and that's kind of cool Google plus in its own way is kind of like Facebook, but still there are these Possibilities for engagement, you know, that's why they call it social media the idea is to be social now Maybe I'm wrong about all of this, you know, maybe that's why I'm not a millionaire yet Because I have this vision of trying to be social as well as trying to be You know make money online or be this Entertainer so to speak or this consultant or whatever you want to call me today because I don't really know but you know Let's talk about it. This is engagement after all. Let's see what y'all think Anyhow, I'm Mitch Mitchell. Y'all have a great day. Let me know what you think. Oh and subscribe I'm supposed to tell people to like and subscribe and I never do so like and subscribe. Thank you. Bye
