As you know, I credit social media for a good chunk of my success. Thanks to various social media tools I’ve managed to grow my business and my client base. I know this interests you because many of you write to me to ask me about social media and social media networking and marketing. I also know that many of you would like to attend some of the blogging and social media conferences but can’t because of obligations at home. That’s why I’m pleased to tell you about the 2o10 Social Media Success Summit. What is the Social Media Success [Read more…]

March 18, 2010. 1 Comment
Actually I don’t think Chris Garrett sucks. In fact, I was just telling Deb today that while I browse other blogs about blogging daily, his is the one I usually stop at and read. That said, Chris has an excellent post up – Why I Sucked at SXSW So You Don’t Have to (ha).

Ok. You know me. I don’t spam. I don’t sell. I don’t do a heck of a lot of product reviews here. I don’t even pimp my ebook much. The reason for this is because there aren’t enough products or services I believe in enough to dedicate a whole blog post. Sure, I’ll put banners in the side bar for a more subtle approach, but in your face selling isn’t my style. I like to think that’s the reason you like us here so much. I have a sales pitch for you today, one that will lead to an affiliate [Read more…]

Lately I’ve been reading a lot about how it’s more profitable to blog for yourself rather than to accept a low paying blogging opportunity that will take up most of your time. While I’m proof that there are high paying blogging gigs to be had, I also know you can earn a decent living by creating your own blog and keeping all the profits. If you’re confused about whether or not you should blog for someone else, or how to get started with your own blog, maybe today we can answer your questions. Chris Garrett and David Peralty are my [Read more…]
