Another week full of business. This week, just like the last week, was so productive for me.
I took some time to step back and took a close look at my business to learn that I’m not doing so well for the past couple of months.
Both in terms of earnings and in terms of keeping up with producing valuable content.
I was able to identify a few potential bottlenecks. And, I’m happy I did this analysis on my business.
It has been a long time since I shot a video - whoo! I’m planning to do some soon.
On my list are the following major stuff:
1. The series (half baked as of now :)). The title is “Create Killer Content For Your Blog” and it’ll be up in about a couple of weeks. The series is 10 posts long!
2. The blogging course I mentioned a while ago. I must put my fingers on the keyboard.
3. Shoot some videos.
OK, now on to this week’s reading list…..

Thanks for your encouragement !

You’re very welcome Okto!
I have read some of your mentioned posts and It’s great you shared them in your page too. Well, your blog is always informative and is truly commendable.
I am not a big fan of getting traffic from YouTube but after recent Pengiun update my blog traffic is decreased and now i am starting to thin about YouTube videos.
Jane,
Great list here! Thanks for including me in it. A few I have read already (and know they are good!) But I will be checking out the rest!

I found your site through Steve Scott and this article was a great intro to your content. A lot happens on the web every single day so having a resource like this with “the best of the best” is really valuable.
Thanks for putting it together - keep up the great work.

The most common mistake for everyone is to think of the link building first and then the quality of the content or website. Thinking this way ain’t going to bring good results.
John
Thank you for providing a list of links that lead us to incredible articles!
I have some reading to do and it is amazing that from this point, you start the killer content series
Hi jane,
Thanks for giving the links and articles. They were truly informative and I also learned a lot from them. Plus what you said about creating time for your work, Well! It is true. We really need to find ways and means of doing it.
Lets be honest you tube is just to get bigger in googles eyes as they are one and the same. The same will go with google+ so we have to embrace and make the most of what they have to offer.
Thanks lee
