In 2007 I decided my blog was due for a new look, but it was not just about a cosmetic face-lift. I wanted to improve usability, clarity and most importantly, highlight a very important aspect of my business – the Blog Profits Blueprint/Blog Tips newsletter email opt-in.
I’ve worked with a good designer friend… Read the rest of this entry »
I was writing an article the other day and I needed a reference to what is good blog content. I realized despite being (I think) the blogger to coin the phrase “Pillar Article” I’ve never actually published a definition of it to my blog. Time for that to change.

I was reading a post over at DoshDosh where Maki notes his RSS readership broke the 10,000 subscriber mark and what he did (or really, what he didn’t do) to realize that result. Here’s his post -

This just goes to show that anyone with a computer can… Read the rest of this entry »
There are basically two types of bloggers in the world – reporters and experts – and some people perform both roles (usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts, but it’s easy for experts to report).
If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard about the… Read the rest of this entry »
I woke up early this morning – well early for me – to catch a group coaching call with Rich Schefren. I wanted to ask him some specific questions regarding the future of my business and get his input on how to craft a blogging product offer.

Well if this isn’t the most talked about topic in the blogosphere I don’t know what is! Every blogger is raving or complaining about how good or bad BlogRush is so I thought I should do a little follow up to my original post – BlogRush – Will It Increase Your Blog Traffic? – and throw in my… Read the rest of this entry »
The students who joined Blog Mastermind right at the beginning have just entered the traffic building and marketing phase of their training with me (lesson 11 onwards).

I recently completed reading Naked Conversations by A-List ex-Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble and Shel Israel. It’s a fresh book (2006) covering business blogging.
The new vBulletin powered forums are back!
Yaro’s Internet Business & Blogging Forums
I’m still getting used to the new forum system but I think vBulletin is going to impress me. With all the plug-ins available it reminds me a lot of WordPress, which is awesome (all the great free WordPress plug-ins being a major reason why) and although vBulletin… Read the rest of this entry »

June was a unique month for me in terms of blogging and business. A roller-coaster ride would be an apt description. Traffic growth at all my sites has been fantastic and in the last few weeks I have enjoyed a few consecutive days of 3000+ uniques here at Entrepreneur’s Journey. While that’s less than many other blogs out there I… Read the rest of this entry »
