What good are 10,000 followers if they’re not your target market?
From the beginning, I’ve had my doubts abut Twitter. No matter how I looked at it, the Twitter promise seemed false.
The promise, as I see it, is this: Increased exposure with minimal* effort.
*Minimal effort is a term with many meanings in Twitterland. Services abound [...]
Using the BAR Approach To Market Your Book
I’ve been a fan of Jonathan Fields for some time. His book Career Renegade: How To Make a Living Doing What You Love is a must have for those of us wanting to live and work according to our own dream-map as well as by our own rules.

But do it the right way, OK?
For nearly ten years, I’ve been a subscriber to Terri Lonier’s Working Solo Newsletter. Terri’s focus has always been helping Solo Entrepreneurs succeed.

What’s holding you back?
I read Dave Navarro’s blog post today about how to become a bigger player in life, business, whatever.
If you don’t know Dave, he writes two blogs, The Launch Coach and Rock Your Day.
Did I mention there’s a FREE WORKBOOK that accompanies Dave’s blog post?
Simply put, Dave suggests the following 7 steps [...]
Being Yourself: A Wise Blogging Strategy
We all tend to think that our blog posts have to be something special. In the sense that they should teach your reader something they didn’t know or remind them of something worth recalling, I agree wholeheartedly.

“I’m outside and I don’t have my keys.”
For the first time in three years, my son called me to tell me this on Tuesday.
Not bad…13 years old and he’s never lost his keys. Technically, his keys weren’t lost and he told me as much.
“They’re on my nightstand,” he said when I asked him about their [...]
Not into selling toilets? OK, I get that.
There’s the obligatory showroom, the painfully embarrassing demonstrations…not to mention the maintenance plans.
Then there are the accessories…toilet brushes, cleaning solutions, even knitted toilet covers! Heck, you might even build a whole blog around toilets like the guys over at Downtown Toilet.
OK, I might be kidding a bit. But the point [...]

My son Jeremy was 14 years old. He needed shoes…badly. We walked in a Big 5 Sporting Goods store and froze in our tracks. The wall of shoes was overwhelming. Every make and model of running shoes ever made was displayed on this running-shoe-hall-of-fame. We walked [...]
I’d really like your comments on this post for reasons that will become clear.
Your favorite A-List blogger recommends another A-Lister’s new product launch.
Soon, every A-List blogger is jumping on the bandwagon to promote the launch.
Each A-List blogger who helps promote the launch gets a piece of the affiliate commission pie.
It’s kind of how the blogging [...]
“Who Else Wants to Earn a Gazillion Dollars While They Sleep?”
You’ve heard offers like this, right? I have, too.
And no, this is not a post about how to make bank while you dream.
Instead it’s the second post (consecutively) that I’ll be recommending Marko Saric’s blog. No, it’s not link-baiting but rather [...]
