Blogging

Ironic because Jon Olson just decided to ditch Aweber completely, and here I am going wow this is great! He's got a beef with Aweber that goes back far, me on the other hand, I still like it. They updated their Aweber WordPress Plugin to allow users who comment on your post to subscribe to [...]

I get in trouble all the time, because I still talk about building your list. And then Jon and Justin will make statements like TimTech isn't really into list building, it's into social. Well the big aha moment is this: My list is my blog. My blog is a social tool. I'm trying to communicate [...]

I'm only doing this blog post because I have to. Otherwise all of you will come crashing down on me about how I say to use a calendar to mark your progress. And how I said I wanted to post to the blog every day in the new year. Or maybe I didn't say that [...]

OK Folks so Larry won't stop talking about winning this referral contest, so I figured I'd tell you guys so he can stop talking about it to me. I mean c'mon I've already joined the site I can't help him. He's actually doing a pretty good job too. He setup a video, he made a [...]

I've updated my site's look to be more consistent with my new orange branding. The last theme I really just opened the files up and colored orange over the blue. It wasn't terrible, but it looked a bit faked (at least to me). This wasn't planned, but I was surfing Sweeva and this page came [...]

One of the biggest mistake blog owners make when advertising their blog, is sticking their blogs right into a traffic exchange. They get the instant surge of traffic, a few comments, and get excited. But then reality sinks in and they realize they have to surf a whole lot *every day* just to get a [...]

I'm looking for feedback from you my readers. You subscribed so really you get to dictate where I go with the blog, because if I go where you don't want me to go, essentially you'll unsubscribe. And that, is not the way to run a successful blog. SO, do you care if I post about [...]
