Healthy Blogging: Feeling Good Can Make You Blog Better
Jul 21st
Are you fat like me?
I know… not very nice. But I am allowed to talk about something that I can relate to. I am 5’8″ and weigh 250 pounds. This means I have a BMI (body mass index) of over 38%, You aren’t supposed to have a BMI over 25%.
I am considered obese right now. Not only that, but I am very much out of shape and can’t do a lot physically without getting tired. I will not be letting this problem continue however. Tomorrow, I am buying a juicer and will only be having one regular food meal More >
Making the Most of Your Blogging Career
Jun 6th
Did I say career? Yes I did. You may have gone into the world of blogging with the idea that you would be the 1 blogger that didn’t care about money. We all do that at some point in our lives when we take blogging seriously. But if you are human, you will most likely come to the conclusion that money can be, and should be made with your blog.
This article isn’t the usual junk about why blogging is good for making money, or any type of motivation article. This article simply talks about how you can make the most More >
5 Mistakes NOT to Make With Your Blog
Apr 4th
This is a guest post by Mandy Allen @ http://learn-to-blog.org
One of the most difficult process for newcomers when they start building blogs is to find a niche that will become popular and bring in some income. Most, but not all, new bloggers make serious mistakes when they first start blogging by thinking about their blog as a fun project and not a distinct business.
The abundance of free WordPress blog templates, free plug-ins that will do almost anything you can think of and free hosting can blur the importance of adopting a business mind-set when all you initially need can be downloaded for More >
The Trick Behind Guest Posting
Jan 12th
Over the course of my blogging career, I have guest posted on many blogs big to small. What I learned was that there is a downfall to guest posting. Do not let this steer you away from guest posting, as it is still one of the biggest sources of traffic that you will ever receive. It’s just that you need to learn how you can make a mistake doing guest articles.
The mistake is not direct really. It’s not something bad like posting sub-par content. Chances are, a blogger will not let you post crap on their blog anyway, so that’s More >
Neglected Blog Items That Will Bring You More Traffic if Fixed
Jan 7th
Today, I spent a lot of time replying to lots of comments left on my blog over the past two weeks. I am still not done responding to everyone, but I’m working on it. When I was done with my current round of replies, I suddenly realized that this could be used as something to talk about. What made me realize that was my belief that comments should never be closed.
I have discussed this idea in the past, but I have a different (yet similar) spin on it this time. My whole reasoning behind closing comments are two key points.

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 >
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 >
When OCD Meets Blogging
Dec 14th
For years, I have had a major problem with being social. As a matter of fact, I quit working for other companies because I always felt that the customer was never right. Because of this, retail was out for me. I am also the kind of person who you simply don’t talk to when I first wake up. You wait until I speak to you first, or you are likely to get some attitude. That’s pretty much why morning factory work was out too, and I started to work from home.

Have You Read My Ebooks?
Nov 27th
I was reading some articles today, and thinking about my strategy for selling my new ebook currently in the works. This bad boy is packed full of ways to generate website traffic. What I realized was that I never actively promoted the fact that my ebooks were available here as a download when you signed up for my newsletter (no longer available with the newsletter, but I have other goodies for you to download.), are also on Amazon. Because of that, I haven’t been able to get any reviews on Amazon originally for these ebooks.
I would like to ask you now as a favor, More >
5 Things to Consider Before Blogging
Nov 23rd
This is a guest post by William, from http://Gettingtothapaper.com.
Countless people under estimate everything it takes to make a living blogging. I had no clue what I was getting into the first time I stated a blog. Like so many others, I thought it would be a breeze. For some irrational reason there were many things I didn’t consider. This is why I am back again, because I don’t believe in quitting. You’re a loser if you’re a quitter, plain and simple. Who wants to be a failure right? I certainly know you don’t. I don’t know everything about blogging and More >
