Why I Won’t Represent Kim Kardashian
Dec 1st
As you know, I am a celebrity pr consultant. I handle their reputation management, and not only advise them on how to stay out of trouble, but how to repair it after they’ve gotten into it.
You may think that with her recent fraud of a marriage, that she would be the perfect candidate for my consulting services. This may be true, but I will never take her on as a client. My reasoning is this… She did this to herself.
Every time Kim Kardashian’s name pops up on Yahoo! News, there are thousands of comments saying the same thing; “When will she More >
Are Your Excerpts Catchy Enough?
Jan 21st
Excerpts are popular on blogs. Many blogs only show excerpts on the homepage and categories pages. Because excerpts are designed to be small paragraphs introducing readers to an article, they have to be packed with information that makes the reader want to check out the entire article.
Consider this… Many people decide what articles they will read on a blog by skimming the excerpts. This means that behind titles, excerpts are the 2nd most important part of an article. Throw something catchy into them, and you have better chances of those articles being read.
Many bloggers don’t consider their excerpts when writing More >
Ideas for Maximum Creativity
Jan 10th
I wanted to make this a list post, but then quickly decided that I have no idea what all I will come up with. Most likely, it will be more than the number I would have listed. The funny thing is that I came up with the title and post idea in a split second. I never think my posts through and then decide to write. I go to the post-new page, and then an idea comes to me. Strange I know.
Anyway, I write this as I listen to the Rock station on music.yahoo.com radio page. As a matter of fact, More >
Are You Ready to Get Rich in 2011?
Jan 5th
It’s the beginning of the year, and I wanted to write something meaningful. Not only meaningful, but inspiring and hopefully life changing. I want you to be as inspired as I was when I was homeless and reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad at the library. After you read this article, your entire way of thinking should be changed. If you feel that this has helped your mindset into the right place, please share it as much as possible so that someone else can also be inspired.
I want to give you all a little background. I have not always been a successful More >
Popular Blogging Topics for 2011
Jan 1st
In early 2010, I wrote an article on the popular blogging topics for the year. I wanted to start 2011 off right with a new list of blogging topics that will be very popular this year.
To kick this off, let’s start with the ultimate controversy. In 2010, Wikileaks was a major development and a huge test for freedom of speech. Any blogger that can pull of some major controversy like that will blog up instantly. I know this will be a tough one. Especially seeing that my wonderful United States Government is falsifying evidence and calling for people to be assassinated More >
Do You Truly Sacrifice for Change?
Dec 23rd
When I was a kid, I would fantasize about being rich. I even knew that it would happen before I became an adult (that didn’t happen). As a matter of fact, it took years beyond turning 18 before I made a significant amount of money on my own.
As time went by, I realized the harsh reality that it was far from easy to get rich. It isn’t the actual “getting rich” that is hard, but finding the leverage to make it happen. If you are homeless for instance, you can’t just come up with an idea and have it developed. More >
Are You Following Inexperienced Advice?
Dec 19th
An article I read today rehashed an issue I argued against on another blog a couple months ago. That issue being that content is not king. I instantly get into these debates because I find that the person writing about them is promoting disinformation which goes against everything I teach on this blog. What upsets me more is the amount of people who comment on those articles thanking the writers for “sharing the truth”.
My argument that content is king is that without content, you have nothing. But it isn’t as simple as that, and people need to stop making these generalizations More >
My Crazy Lotto Experiment
Dec 14th
Ok, now people are really going to think I’m nuts, but I really wanted to try something new and strange. That’s why I created a new blog on blogger (yeah I know it’s not self-hosted) and utilize the blog to provide free graphics and graphical templates for my readers.
The idea is to get readers to donate anything ($1, $500, $1,000, etc) and their entire donation will be applied to the next Mega Millions or Powerball game on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
It doesn’t matter how much you donate. It will ALL be applied to the next game

Your Marketing Plan Template
Dec 4th
During my research for popular search terms, I found that “marketing plan template” was on the rise. I decided to take advantage by writing a post about it. The research that provided this data was performed using Google Insights, which is a tool that I use regularly. Using this along with Google Trends, and you have yourself an excellent tool for finding out what hot topics will bring your blog some traffic.
Marketing Plan TemplateYour marketing plan template should include solid research to determine what would bring in the maximum amount of traffic with the least effort. The good thing is that More >
TSA Stories Anyone?
Nov 26th
Over the past month, I have been watching constant news stories pop up on Yahoo! which happens to be my homepage, about travelers who have felt violated or molested by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). In addition, their backscatter xray machine which is supposed to not be able to take photos of travelers, is indeed capable of doing so as it was leaked that the agents were keeping a huge amount of snapshots of the nude pictures.
Because of all of this stuff, Alex and I thought it necessary to open up a forum of sorts where travelers can tell their More >
