I am still writing by hand. Not as much as I used to, but once in a while, I am using a pen and a paper to take notes and to write blog posts. I am also using my iPhone and iPad to write. And I am using 10 different tools on my computer. What [...]

  I am a strong believer in building relationships online as part of my marketing strategy. And that’s exactly what I’m teaching my clients. I’m telling them about the time the pizza delivery guy gave me a ride home and that most of the time people won’t buy your products unless you have some social proof. [...]

I have been using FeedBurner for a very long time. I believe I have used FeedBurner more or less since the day I launched my blog. It’s been how I’ve delivered my content to my readers via RSS and via email for many years. It’s been a good relationship, but… The relationship has ended. I [...]

I have been using WordPress (the self-hosted version) for a long time, and to me, it’s the natural choice when it comes to blogging. It has more or less always been like that. But, I have tested several other blogging platforms, and I’m not going to say anything bad about the competition, but I’m telling [...]

I have described how I read blog posts. I am using RSS feeds, and I’m combining Google Reader and a software called Reeder. But, what I didn’t realize at the time I wrote the article was that It’s actually possible to customize the content inside my feed, a lot better than what Feedburner lets me do. [...]

I am hearing the sound of the walls moving. Her hair is dark and beautiful, she’s sitting on the couch and can’t touch anything. But still, she makes the house shake, just by using her mind. A man is walking down the stairs, he’s eyes are black. Another man is in the kitchen, he looks [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve written about how I read blog posts. The reason I write about it is because I have my own technique, and I read many posts each day, sometimes as many as several hundred posts. To me, reading blog posts is very important, it’s part of how I learn, and [...]

I’ve decided to get new subscribers to my newsletter the way Barack Obama and The White House are doing it. This is what you get the first time you visit The White House online The first time you visit my blog, you’ll see a welcome page (a splash page) that tells you about my free [...]

This is a guest post by the awesome Jason “J-Ryze” Fonceca. Imagine the pain of struggling and failing and despairing. Imagine creating 8 businesses, based around things you love to do, and still failing, closing them down one after the other. Imagine a collection of ebooks, and studying every marketing and entrepreneurial blogging tip you [...]

I have been away, living in a tent for a few days, thinking about life and business, and writing on a short story. When I’m offline, thinking about what I should be doing online, I always end up doing some changes. It’s like when I’m bored and I become creative. This time I’ve added two [...]

Google search is by far my best traffic resource. I don’t want to go into details, but most of my traffic comes from people who are using Google to find my content. And, that’s why I have been focusing on understanding Google in my marketing business and for my blog. Understanding how Google works is [...]

This is a guest post from Rachel Walker: During the course of blogging events it seems that everyone began to believe that the best way to blog is by posting as often as possible. I often see blog posts where the blogger shamelessly admits to forcing themselves to write something to post that day. I [...]

I have just talked to a person about a security threat to my windows server. He called me at my home, using the home number. He said my name, and he told me that I should get on the computer and log on to a website. He would show me the security threat. I told [...]
