A Compact Disc of Blogs
I read a comment a few moments ago. Someone promoted their business via the spam comment. The individual claimed to publish a useful comment because comments serve their purpose as useful conversation starters, being 100% related to the blog post. But the comment promoted a business. The business seemed to be related to an off-color …
Open-minded bloggers prosper. Close-minded bloggers struggle. I intend to be as open-minded as humanly possible. Being open-minded lets me seize and use opportunities to prosper by helping human beings. Sazzadul invited me to guest post on his rocking blog. I gobbled up the opportunity immediately. I also ran with it, publishing 100’s of guest posts …
One aspect of my blogging campaign confuses bloggers. I spend ample time in quiet. Bloggers wonder where I find time to publish content at a decent clip. I do not find time. We have 24 hours today; all of us. Time does not need to be found. Time is already there. We choose to spend …

Blogging is not terribly difficult to understand. Create helpful content. Build strong connections with people who enjoy your blog and with fellow bloggers in your niche. Of …
Some bloggers feel awkward monetizing their blogs. Put it off until tomorrow. Put it off until next year. Put it off….forever. Resistance to monetizing your blog – if you intend to eventually go pro – signals one thing: fear. Bloggers fear monetizing their blogs for one or many reasons. Awkwardness suggests resistance to adding blogging …
