Having entered into my second year of blogging in the MMO niche (make money online niche) I have seen a lot of old faces leave and new faces enter into the MMO arena. I have seen claimed successful bloggers bite the dust and sentence their blogs to death while I have seen noobies climb the ladder and become small yet volatile leaders within the niche despite being clueless. Accountability lies not only in others but also myself.

MMO niche is a very diverse group, but one of the most common things I see in the majority of the people who follow, publish and socialize within this niche is the fact that many are simply leaderless followers who want to cling to people who do the best job of shoe shining their worshiping idol.

I am serious. It’s out with the old and in with the new. But the only problem is that the new is just a recirculation of the same things the old has already talked about. The only difference is that the blog (e.g. the worshiping idol) gets shinier and flashier everyday, yet the content remains the same.

The majority of the MMO niche consists of three classes of people:

1. Class One MMO Blogger: The people who want to learn how to make money.
2. Class Two MMO Blogger: The people who don’t make a lot of money online but act as leader and teacher in the niche.
3. Class Three MMO Blogger: The people who create bogus products and services and make money online.

Now with that being said, lets talk about some trends in people within the MMO niche.

The people who want to make money online (class one mmo bloggers) are naive and end up buying affiliate promoted products from the people who don’t make a lot of money online (class two mmo blogger) but act as leaders and teachers within the industry whom are enabling the people who create the bogus products and services (class three mmo blogger) to make the money.

That is really all it boils down to. As noobies wise up and start to see the common trend of how most people are making money online, soon they upgrade their status from being a class one mmo blogger to a class two mmo blogger and almost over night they launch the next MMO blog and sail off into the blogosphere, running at flank speed to catch up to the other class two MMO vessels.

From that point on, the newly promoted class two mmo blogger gets a small taste of money after having sent thousands of class one mmo bloggers to affiliate based products being promoted under their referral ID. Soon after the class two mmo blogger comes to the realization that marketing someone else’s bogus product can be duplicated, they take it upon themselves to create their own bogus product. At that point in time, the class two mmo blogger now officially becomes a class three mmo blogger and the life cycle is refreshed and soon comes a new generation of class one mmo bloggers.

The newly promoted class three mmo bloggers can then promote their newly produced bogus mmo products down to the newly promoted class two mmo bloggers and also to the existing class two bloggers who were slow to learn and stayed at their current rank, all of which will then over saturate the market, selling to the next generation class one mmo bloggers.

During this whole chain or life cycle of the MMO blogger, the same content, the same tactical strategies and the same information is simply getting washed, recycled and recirculated on the blogs of the class two mmo bloggers.

The end result is the fact that as new mmo bloggers are born into the system, new blogs are created, new blog designs are developed, new mailing lists are established, and yet one thing always remains the same… and that is the fundamental content and business model that pumps life into the MMO niche remains the same.

This is the everlasting gobstopper, this is the ironic yet real paradox of the MMO niche, this is ultimately the nuclear fusion that splits the atom and produces an endless life of energy and circulation while dumping waste into the minds of thousands.

For those who just laced up your shoes and stepped into the mmo arena, I welcome you; however, you should have brought roller skates, because there are hundreds if not thousands of people who will be taking you for a ride. The paradox of the make money online niche, it’s bitter sweet symphony.

The Verve

Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics
‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You’re a slave to money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

No change, I can’t change
I can’t change, I can’t change
But I’m here in my mind
I am here in my mind
But I’m a million different people
from one day to the next
I can’t change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no,no,no,no,no(fading away)

Well I never pray
But tonight I’m on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there’s nobody singing to me now

No change, I can’t change
I can’t change, I can’t change
But I’m here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I’m a million different people
from one day to the next
I can’t change my mind
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can’t change
I can’t change it

‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
Trying to find some money then you die
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah

You know I can’t change, I can’t change
I can’t change, I can’t change
But I’m here in my mind
I am here in my mind
And I’m a million different people
from one day to the next
I can’t change my mind
No, no, no, no, no

I can’t change my mind
no, no, no, no, no,
I can’t change
Can’t change my body,
no, no, no

I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
I’ll take you down the only road I’ve ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
That you’ve ever been down
That you’ve ever been down
