A Compact Disc of Blogs
New bloggers often have no idea how to comment not only effectively, but properly. You and I sometimes make way too many assumptions about newbies. I know. I just came across someone on Quora who asked about advertising affiliate links in comments. Ouch. He wanted to know if it is an effective strategy for increasing …
I wrote this eBook: How to Retire to a Life of Island Hopping (Part 2) from an energy of release. I had to surrender the eBook. The thing is, I spent a good chunk of time writing this eBook years prior but never felt clear on the sucker. I was in Bali during the first …
