I Empower Myself

Are Droppers Systems Bad? A big NO!!!

Working Smart is Better than Working Hard:  We only have 24 hours per day so it is better to manage time effectively

I am a believer of working smart rather than working hard and of effective time management.   If I could shorten the time doing a process, task or activity I’ll find a way.  Time is very valuable…more important than money in a sense that money can be earned if lost while time when passed is lost and cannot be earned back.  Hence, there are needs for tools or resources which must be used for a person to accomplish something in a shorter time.

But of course, care and diligence must be implemented when we use tools and/or resources.  Say, there is a tool called “knife”.  When the knife is used to harm or kill people, the user is in bad faith or the knife is used wrongly. When the knife is used to prepare foods for cooking meals for loved ones, the user of the knife is in good faith and the knife is used for goodness.  So, the goodness or badness of the tool depends with how the user intends to use the tool. Likewise, when we are gifted with intelligence and we use that to cause damage or harm others, the intelligent person is in bad faith while the person who uses his intelligence to bring betterment or improvement, this person is in good faith or is an enlarger of people. So, the goodness or badness of the resources (in this case, the intelligence) being used depends with the intention of the doer/user.

I am an Entrecard member, the requirement of the network is to visit a site and drop on the widget in order to gain/earn EC credits.

When I was new to the EC system I did the visit and drop in a conventional way. Fulfilling the requirements this way eats so much of my precious time.  Because I prefer to work smart rather than work hard, I created various dropping tools.   I want to accomplish things in a shorter time so I can allocate more time in other whatever it is that needs to be done for the day.

Are dropper systems bad? A big NO.

Entrecard is a good blog advertising network.  As much as Entrecard desires to serve its members better, at the time being, they are still in the work in progress stage and cannot release enhancements maybe because of factors beyond their control. Yes! I believe Entrecard wants to have a perfect system but we know for a fact that there is no perfect system out there.   What is important is Entrecard serve their purpose which is to help members have visitors. And they are good at it.  By clicking on their drop boxes we have visitor/s, though a not 1:1 reciprocity but still they bring/send us visitors.

Blogging has its activities: visit or be visited…read or be read…comment or be commented on…review or be reviewed…etc…

Those in the blogging community–the blogger, the reader/visitor, the blog advertiser, etc– have their own roles to play.

Blogging mainstreams: building traffic and building readership base.

Blog Advertising companies, Entrecard included, their purpose or role to play is to bring traffic to the blog, thus, the visit or be visited—the traffic building is served/attained.

Building of readership base is the responsibility of the owner of the blog.  In other words, I think we should not pass on this building of our readership base responsibility to the blog advertising companies.  As I read posts or comments, I saw proposals for what a blog advertising company should do…it looks as if they also want the company to build the readership base for them…

Back to Entrecard. Yes! I believe Entrecard is good at building traffic to our blogs. In my opinion, they are brewing/working on for something better to their members, just that they do not want to pre-empt them.

Since we are living in the here and now and while waiting for the enhancements/improvements to come out, an interim process must be put in place.  Otherwise, we will continuously suffer from issues and constraints which may result to more complaints, more negativity, more hurt feelings…this is unhealthy!

Current constraints or issues boil down to …

…taking care of physical and mental health (conventional clicking of 300 drops requires more time infront of computer and not mind stimulating, thus a threat to health)

…damages to computers/laptops caused by infected sites (which at most are unknown to the blog owner… hey, not all are computer savvy)

…not-so productive use of time (seriously, do you want to trade off 2 to 4 hours of your time clicking/dropping than use them to spend with your loved ones or do some philanthropic activities or just do something to develop yourself more?)

…members who put the widgets to the areas which are not very visible (spice up!  let’s play hide & seek)

…of course there are many other reasons

So what are we going to do? How can we help each other? How can we help Entrecard so their minds will become relax and come out with a better solution instead of bombarding them with complaints? Negativity kills creativity.  How can we help other members? What can we contribute for the betterment of all?

The interim process that I could think of is creation of something that will mediate/remedy the current issues and constraints. In my mind, Dropper Systems are one of the solutions while waiting for the developments/enhancements of Entrecard.  However, others see them as cheats or gaming the system.

I understand there are people who thought or were taught following rules are good and when you follow them especially by the book, you are a good person and not a cheater.  We are talking of man’s rules not God’s. These man’s rules may become superseded, revised or updated anytime when the objective of its creation has already served its purpose or is no longer relevant at the current time.  These rules were created at the time when problems do not present itself. There are rules which become obsolete overtime and will not be helpful in today’s time. (And in my opinion, rules should be updated or revised when problems arose or no longer serve its purpose or becomes irrelevant.)

All of us want to follow rules because we want to be good people.  And rules should bring goodness to all.  But we have to stop sometimes and think if the rules we follow makes us a good person or bring goodness to us.   We evaluate and assess.  If the rules we follow bring us more harm than good then it is not good or worth following the rules.  I have nothing against Entrecard. I believe they wish no harm to their members just that their systems were designed the way it is now and it is not easy to change a system, it will entail a lot of work, tools, money, time, processes, infrastructure and resources.

It is a good thing there are volunteers who offered their help and resources for free to provide for an interim process.  There are people who create dropper systems or dropping tools for free. And it is good that there are many of them and in various forms and methodologies.

Again, there is no perfect system out there. Dropper Systems have its strengths and weaknesses.  What matters is the visit and drop requirements are complied (regardless how much time you spend in visiting and dropping.)

I have various dropping tools.  One of them is the quick dropper.  This dropper tool makes members drop 300 in just a matter of minutes. So for people who insist on telling quick drop pages exist, they do! Again, it is the intention of its use.

Again, I prefer to manage my time and work smart.  I systematized my way of visiting, dropping, commenting and reviewing blogs.

Quick drop page is for dropping.  Visits can be compensated in other ways and can be done thru Adgitize by clicking its ad views; or by directly visiting the site and concentrate on reading the contents of the site and when possible or appropriate leave some comments or review the blog; or use another dropper to open sites which is also equivalent to visiting—it is like you have a dropper for dropping and a dropper for site opening/visiting. Look at your recent viewers/visitors blogcatalog/mybloglog widgets so you know who visits you for real.  Whatever manner I visit and drop is my choice.  What is important is both the visit and the drop requirements are fulfilled/complied.

I choose to manage my time and I choose to work smart. I do not know how others do their visiting and dropping.  If they do their visiting and dropping the long or conventional or time-consuming ways it is their choice. And I respect that.

In my opinion, visiting and dropping should be done very quickly (and separately from reading) then go back to the sites which we think worth reading so we can grasp what the blogger wants to convey…I’m sure many bloggers have a lot to share and we can learn a lot from them.   If we combine visit and drop and at the same time read we will achieve nothing. We will be in a hurry so we can drop and run from one to the next.  And if in case a post title of a blog catch our attention, we stop for a while and read the first few sentences and do not finish reading it fully because we need to visit and drop on other blogs.

Droppers Systems are not bad.

======from here down below is meant only for one person…

To you, you know who you are…

Your apology is not enough!

When I read your defamatory post and I saw my badges there, I prayed hard that your mind be enlightened and your heart be cleansed. I prayed that HE gift me with peace, love and calmness so that I may not use my tongue and mind for revenge and  harm you back. I prayed that HE avenge me because if I will do it myself things may just become more sour and uglier. God answered my prayers.

How I wish you just emailed or contacted me so doubts in your mind are cleared and things did not turned out like this…you hurt souls…you hurt the blogging community…you cause people harm. You get what you give…you give/inflicted harm to others and you get it back, it boomerang back to you. Hope you learn from this.  You are an intelligent person.  I wish you use your intelligence on enlarging others.

Remember the time you bluntly called i-e-m club as an illusion (remember EZ 300EC dropper / i-e-m club?) and I should better use dropaholics as a dropping tool…remember my post “style of earnings management” you offended me in my post thru your insulting/negating comment… I appear as one of your top droppers but I do not comment on you… you want a comment from me? …you want a comment from a person whom you offended in her own site…you were like attacking me in my own home…and still you want a comment from me?…I should not included you in my droppers…I should not visited and dropped on you…but your blogpal gave me a big amount of EC credits as his gift/token of my review of his quality blog because you inform him of it and for that as my way of saying thank you I let what you did pass and I included you in my droppers so you will be belong to those I will be visiting and dropping on…after all people makes mistakes…but now, what you did is unforgivable. You want to catch me.  I am the one you are after and catch.  You want to nail me based on your prima facie evidences…You condemned me, slandered me, defamed me and humiliated me publicly…you offended me many times over and over again…you are hurting me…you are destroying me…you are inflicting harm on me… let’s  exchange places…and tell me, is your apology enough?

God avenged me from you. I will forgive you but I do not have to like you and befriend you. May God bless you with peace of mind and kindness in your heart.  I release you emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Stay away from me and my sites.  I end it here.
