Michelle, ATLIEN of StraightfromtheA.com, took to Youtube on Wednesday to educate her followers about professional blogging, after struggle blogger Funky Dineva declared blogging is dead.
Michelle discussed why some bloggers are successful and why some people choose to work for others rather than for themselves.
Dineva, who was unceremoniously fired from the Sister Circle daytime talk show, claimed blogging was dead after he failed to monetize his own blog, funkydineva.com.
Michelle also discussed popular Instagram bloggers who have millions of ‘likes’ but no traffic to their own blogs, which makes it difficult for them to monetize their platform.
“if you’re dependent upon Instagram to pay your rent, tomorrow it may be gone,” she said.
Watch the video below.
Got to 0:27, still ain’t said shyt and laughing…bye, I ain’t got the time!
SUCH SHADE!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Instagram is monetized but I’m not finishing the story on any blog … lol
I only do this blog cause I’ve been here for years! When y’all was hating outside the club …
Haven’t seen the video because I’m at work.
BUT I am here for Michelle’s monogram necklace ????? Cute!
Can’t eem get in the club! SMH ?????
LOL
HE still wearing that FUNKY ARSE WIG????
Khia ate this chick up on YouTube one night..?????. She wild
? ? ? ? ?
well…dang….I used to actually go to Dineva’s blog page for a minute…but then the posts because far and few….until the page was down….but I thought his blog was tee-hee…but I always go to ATlien page (straight from the A) to get the Atlanta news….but I wish she would post more frequently….cause I really like her blog….but it is what it is….
She is still obsessed with this dude?? Ok he was a horrible tenant, Michelle evicted him. After a long period of time she finally got paid moniesshe sued him for. I would think the case would be closed by now but the only reason she can give for continually discussing him is “I talk about it because I can .” Personally I wouldn’t want anything to do with him he’d be dead to me at this point.
Sandra your blog survives (because) you speak (your) truth ….. even though the trends are there for you to get info from …. you don’t hold back your opinion and Regardless of the backlash ….. Is it right always right ? Well (my) opinion Naw !!!!!! But because it’s your honesty and your intention I honor that ……. most bloggers roll with the clique type (followers) just saying …. if you follow a group a mindset (lack expansion) You the blogger allow dependency (didn’t your write about that down yonder downstairs?) no shade ….. but much love …….Stick to ya Craft ….. and that’s you!!!! That’s why this bog still stands ….. roll with ain’t shyts get drug like da ain’t shyts IJS!!!!!! Stay original …. All this shyt is messy and not a damn competition …. Stand in your space Sandra and own that Btych !!!!! but this cat fighting passively can miss me … and Sandra I’m taking care …. much care and much love ….
Sandra Rose lies a lot!
Not anymore he stopped along with the makeup.
Well I saw his video about it and this aint what he said…but whatever
Exactly.
I dont have an hour for Michelle. Sorry not sorry. Opened it and it said 54 minutes.
When he co-hosts on the Queen’s Court youtube thingy, he dresses up with makeup and wig.
Now he didnt. He still wears his wigs and he still does the TS Madison’s show from time to time where he is in full make up an wigs
yeah me neither….attention span ain’t what it used to be…especially for rambling….sooo…..lol
I’m listening now. I’m interested in what she’s saying as she is one of the few bloggers still left from days of old, along with Sandra Rose, of course
jinx LOL said that, too.
most bloggers roll with the clique type (followers) just saying

I watched his video talking abour why he quit blogging and I actually agreed with him. Blogging like SM has evolved where people want to see the tea not just read about it. Hence why Instagram blogs are so popular. I disagree about those Instagram blogs not making money. The more subscribers one has the more companies are willing to pay to advertise. Look at Angelica Nwandu/owner of The Shade Room. Forbes estimated her net worth to be about 23 million in 2018.
I agree with why he stopped too. Bloggers used to just make up lies and shyt. Bloggers now have to be held more accountable for the stuff they say. That’s why the game has changed. You can’t just make up shyt about people anymore…
trout mouf michelle
I didn’t give AF and I was still here ……… got drug myself by several psychopaths . on here ….. yes ….. but we (I’m) still here …… cut the shyt !!!!!! I never got da clique simply cause I don’t roll with cliques …. I come on here to shoot the shyt in all honesty …. sorry you felt that way …… but roses look out for roses ….. but if ya nasty ….. etc a e-fight breaks out …. (Been there) …. done that …… pointless now …. cat fighting …. it be helpful info on Sandra blog …. in some of her write ups and in the comments ….. Grown women round here ….. with the ain’t shyts in da mix .. trolling ….. still is insane … gotta learn to tune folks out …. Block city round this bytch… I ain’t got time https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c1425c997ed3319b16098cad0d4bebaabde80cd22860d557863b4ff2c949aed9.gif ….
I have the attention span. I even can play it in the background and keep running my reports. Its the 1st of da monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnffff…so monthly reports are due. But I aint got an hour for MICHELLE. *snort*
FAM BAM. Hey how you is?
I read and enjoy both STFA as well as Sandra Rose. They’re the only two blogs that I access daily, and you have to respect both of these ladies hustle. I didn’t know of Sandra’s site until STFA sent me here a couple of years back. There’s a tremendous amount of work that goes into what they do, and I appreciate them both for their contributions. As for Funky Dineva, he’s a bit more of a free spirit who seems to reject weighted responsibly, but he’s very talented at what he does. I think FD has been his own worst enemy in a lot of ways, but he’s sharply intuitive and witty.

He never said blogging was dead…. he said it wasn’t for him. He said there a lot of grunt work involved, and a lot of distrust between bloggers and celebs/reality stars and trying to rush to put someone on blast before the next blogger just didn’t sit right with him. So he went back to doing YouTube videos because it was faster money, and a quicker process. Also he no long had to be responsible for leaking people info before the next blogger did and have to feel shunned by people because they were worried what Q was going to put in his blog

Yep. She always directly or indirectly talking about Funky Dineva and he always pays her dust. It makes Michelle look panini pressed.

She needs to worry and stay in her lane worried about someone else. Funky still has his YouTube going meanwhile Michelle’s latest claim to fame has been feuding with Khia and Maddy ? thought she had a friend in khia girl a seat immediately I have never visited her blog first time me hearing of her was online twitter fanga banging that was going’s in between her and the Kweens court. Bye Michelle
Are they STILL going at it?
You would think it would be over. SMH
And her blog traffic doesn’t seem the same. She has 1.5K views on this video. But yet FD has 25,000 in about 6 hrs. Their are different lanes for a reason.
Man!
Right
God, she is quite irritating with that annoying laugh.
Not they, SHE is, he’s ignoring Gary Coleman
She is so jealous of him. People that don’t matter to you, you don’t discuss. She has to mention his name to get attention. Sit down Gary Coleman in a cheap azz wig
I was here when it was the wild, wild, west. E-banging at it’s worst. Fighting over one male rose and er’thang…chileee I shudder at the memories lol
I dislike her so freaking much!!
She’s speaking like her blog is doing great…why is she still beefing with him..when he never say her name or anything about her,
Chile me too … I remember …. a damn mess

Here for the comments.
Sit down Gary Coleman in a cheap azz wig
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate when heffas with wide manly jawlines wear a center part. It’s not for you Sir. Gary needs to sit down and focus on being one the last few bloggers. Funky Dineva is good luv, enjoy. She’s mad that he’s traveling with the Queen’s court.
Has she ever addressed the fact she looks like Gary’s TWIN?I’m dying to know what her response was/is? If you know, do tell please…lol
She is trash! She sat up with khia saying negative things about gay people when in fact dineva used to be her best friend. Now all of a sudden all gay people bad because you fell off with one? Dineva career is doing better than hers. Yes people dont do her website no more. SHE CAN JUMP OFF A BRIDGE WITH CEMENT BOOTS AND I WILL NOT MOURN!
Not the one male rose! LMAO I dare not say his name. But it was A MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he does still do it on the SQC when I commented I was only thinking about his recent YouTube videos on his channel
She acts like a scorned ex who still wants him back
Right she was his friend when they were talking about other celebs together now she on YouTube trying to get her subs and views up just like him..
Dineva over this blotted neck @$$ bih
I’m like you set this shyt up bc you had something to say…get to it!
I didn’t even click it. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
LOL Not Gary Coleman!
She needs to find a tread mill and super glue ass to it instead of running her ? all the time
Apparently so are the people who USED to visit her site.
No she has not, she should address with a plastic surgeon, but I heard she has more pressing issues to tend to #tunaTARTARE
+10000000
Oooo please say when because I had to let them go after the queen court meltdown….i tried watching her by herself but didnt make it past 1 or 2 lives in her den
Scrolling up agiain to see if she had center part ????

Scrolling up to see if she looks like Gary Coleman ????

It’s all personal opinion. I think she is hilarious
??
This McDouble neck lady always bothering this boy. I told her last time to go mentor some kids, get a hobby, volunteer at a church or hospital or go get some good old fashioned dyck. Thanks management.
Im sorry but, what does her look have to do with her explaining anything? I swear, human are the worst.
Why does she stay keeping his name in her mouth? She has his videos taken down of him speaking about her.
Agree. She is mad because she expected everyone to hate him after she aired their dirty laundry. And Auntie Sandra is being used. She will see it one day.
Go type Fish Factory on her blog comments. LOL ?
ROFL!!!! Not cement boots!
Y’all google Michelle Brown straightfromthea I can’t. This weight loss stuff comes up
First of all this is not done in mean spiritedness , so zip it. She is a public figure trying to drop knowledge and she needs a makeover . First impressions are everything and you are judged before you even open your mouth. There are several affordable lace fronts that are more stylish than that and she can get an out fit from Torrid, Lane Bryant, or the Avenue that would look 100 % better than what she has on. Then she needs to stop with her goggling…. maybe somebody would take her serious.
Back to my regularly scheduled program! I come here to have a little fun . I have a chronic illness and I don’t have time to fool with you! Thanks Rose Garden for bringing me joy!!!
Mr. Drummond please come get Arnold and tell him to STFU!
Ugh I can smell that ? ? from here. Like Girrrrr.. Kill it… She is pressure cooker pressed. She is still bothered over the Dineva beef and I just found a new reason to finally unfollow her. You sound mad lonely ass bad built bitter blog lady. Pepe’ la Puss
He did but of course she flagged the video and got it removed. Said she left Rico Chapelle’s ottoman smelling like sushi. Rico has a video saying he threw it out.
Is this a biological man or woman?
He already dragged her ass to the gates of hell before. She must not have been humiliated enough. She needs to get her a man, some kids or something to keep her occupied.
Yep! The number’s speak for themselves. She can say what she wants. with her lil dried up blog. hell she ought to be shutting hers down.
this chic is OBSESSED with Dineva. maybe you can talk her into getting some counseling Sandra? I don’t know what he ever did to her. maybe when he ended their friendship. but she’s messed up in the head bad.
Auntie, both you and Michelle need to go on somewhere. Dineva created a video where he stated he wasn’t making any money so he stuck with YouTube. It wasn’t that serious nor did he state that blogging was dead. He said it wasn’t for him.
Not smelling like a nasty dish rag…they way she always got her nose were it doesn’t belong. She’s a hater I stopped reading her blog years ago….
All good here! It’s a Tuesday and I’m still trying to recover from weekend GHOE shenanigans that I know my ass was waaaaay too old to participating in. How are you and yours?
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! you got me cracking up at my desk!!! Fool!!!
