by 23 Comments

email-newsletter_mod

If you’re a blog owner who’s regularly putting up fresh content and has been doing it for some time, you probably have a base of regular readers that visit your site all the time and even comment frequently.

Because of this, maybe you've also been thinking of collecting a more solidly established group of fans by turning some of your site readers into email subscribers that get your best content right to their inboxes on a periodic basis.

Luckily, doing this isn't very hard and if your blog’s niche happens to be related to a sales or business oriented niche instead of something that’s pure entertainment - though an email campaign can work fine with either - then you can also eventually create sales offers and [Read more...]

“Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”

~ Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors of all times.

Why do you want to blog comment?

Some people do it to gain (more) “back-links”, hoping to influence their Google SERP rankings…

Others are commenting for direct traffic, opt-ins and (brand) exposure. What I noticed after 2 years of prestigious blog commenting though is that none of these folks have a specific strategy … [Read more...]

Optimizing-Your-Site-For-Mobile-Friendliness1

The mobile Internet is becoming an ever larger slice of the entire web use pie and as of 2012, over 1 billion of the world’s 4 billion phones are web capable smart phones, either connected to 3G or 4G networks or able to access the web through a Wi Fi connection when it’s available.

Great Productivity Lessons For Bloggers From Self-Help Books: Lessons From Five Self-Help Books In Five Minutes

by 22 Comments

I have a great self-help book called How to Save an Hour Every Day. It has lots of little productivity tips and a ton of great advice, but there's one amusing irony - reading the book itself takes a few hours meaning that a simple way to save time would be to skip reading it entirely.

The same can be said for many self-help books, and useful though many of them are, they do tend to be a bit self-indulgent and ramble on. What makes this dangerous is that many people seem to be under the illusion that reading them is the same as actually improving themselves.

It's not: if you really want to improve yourself then it's no good to just read self-improvement - you need to live it. Thus, to help you benefit from the lessons in those self-help books that apply directly to productivity for bloggers, while … [Read more...]
