That was the best comments, stories, tips, and coverage.
Gary,
Laser Tag was found after experiencing paintball (probably about a year after I started playing regularly) and was immediately dismissed as a pale, dull and "too easy" version of the same thing.
My teammates and I had thought it might be a good alternative for practice during the winter months (laser tag were all inside at that time) and found that he was not only inappropriate, but he taught lessons that have been bad for a good paintballer learn.
Game-wise, it was not as sophisticated as paintball, shooting someone shot their gun off for a specified period (ten seconds?) And the main points have been marked by the firing of the target Main - you were only allowed to take 3x points. The first game that my boyfriend and I have played, we easily ran to the goal, we won 300 points each, and then took a relatively hidden position where we have pot-shot opponents.
Later we learned that you could use the barricades to block your sensors so you can shoot others with impunity.
Mentally / emotionally, they are two very different breeds. Laser Tag is non-physical consequences of being shot is a buzzer in your ear. Shooting the gun emits an electronic sound different. As we said at the time "Whoop De Doo."
Paintball is very physical and there's a big difference between a sound in the ear and a projectile flying through the air at 300 feet per second and an impact on you - or almost impact you. (A real assault to have dozens of bullets per second flying right past your head.)
In the early days, paintball was much the "perfect mix" of mental health, psychological and physical. Fields 40 + acres in size in the woods, one hour games, 15 players in a team. Natural enough that people who play really hard and suffered serious injuries, I ripped the top of my head and separated a shoulder, with many other less serious injuries.I crawled over 100 yards in the mud, back-patted by a mountain stream, jumped from a cliff into a pit of sand (the decrease was estimated at over 30 feet) and made other crazy things because I was mentally "in the game."...
Although I am here to teach people how to make money with their own blog, it seems mostly all I do is show blog marketing tactics. There is actually a very good reason for that. The reason is because its easy to set up a website, but getting people to visit it is a whole different matter. Imagine opening a store but having no customers to sell products to. Big bummer. Blog marketing is the biggest part of owning a blog as a source of income.
Today I am going to talk about something different though. Today I want to start talking to you about how to turn the traffic you have generated through blog marketing into cash and profits. In order to do this you have to understand the traffic of the internet.
There are basically three types of people on the internet. There are people who are online to socialize, meet people, and make friends. There are people who are online to learn about topics and be educated about things. Then there are people who are online because they want to make money. This means the vast majority of traffic you get from your blog marketing are people not looking to spend money!
These are key facts for a blogger to know. This is why blogging is so successful. First your blog adheres to the people who like to socialize. People can come to your blog and they can comment back and forth with other people who share similar interests with them. They can also get to know you, the author of the blog, who they already know shares an interest. The interest of course is whatever your blog is about.
These people rarely want to shop online and cheap impulse buying is what they do best. Products and software that are cheap and/or free are the easiest things to advertise to these people. They are not looking for anything but friendship, so unless something really catches there eye and says “buy me now” they are not likely to spend money.
Next if you paid attention to my very first articles you will no that I believe you need an actual topic to focus your blog on. This topic can be anything from paintball to pets or from cars to dating. The point is your articles or blog posts should be teaching people something. Perhaps the newest and greatest in paintball gaming news, perhaps you are teaching how to sew, or perhaps you are teaching the latest video games cheats. The fact is you are teaching something in each of your posts.
