Blogs are everywhere. Some of them are great and some of them are worthless. With more than a billion different websites and blogs on the internet today, you can see how it’s easy to get lost in the mix, while also understanding how quick and simple it can be to start a blog of your own. However, there are a select few that will actually provide value to individuals on the internet and not only […]

I recall having an absolute temper tantrums whenever I checked my email and saw nothing much. I felt depressed because I did not see any business-related email. No clients. No customers. But then I used to judge the low volume of emails I received in negative fashion. Why did I receive a few emails when other established, professional bloggers got more emails daily? I finally woke up by visualizing my dreams. Seeing my dreams in […]

A few moments ago, I emailed my list. I simply linked to my blog post. Within the blog post, I linked to one of my eBooks via link and embed. Both being associated with my Amazon Associates affiliate account, I make money through 2 channels. One, my KDP royalty payment as an Amazon self-published author. Two, my Amazon Associates payment, as an affiliate. Entrepreneurs think about and act on ideas that benefit readers aka customers, […]

One of the key aspects of launching successful marketing campaigns is to conduct market research beforehand. This is no different when marketing on the internet. Digital marketing research is crucial to successful digital marketing, and without it, one can quickly blow through their budget without seeing any type of ROI at all.

Back in 2007 I was asked a question: “If you could only write one type of content on your blogs forever, what would it be?” My answer then is the same as my answer now: evergreen content. What is Evergreen Content, and Why is it Important? Evergreen content is content that stays fresh for your readers. It doesn’t become dated, and is just as relevant […]

I’ll lay out two scenarios for relaunching a blog, and then give you 11 things to consider during a relaunch. Last week a ProBlogger reader asked for advice on how to relaunch their blog, which had been dormant for the past year. […]

This post is based on episode 84 of the ProBlogger podcast. In last week’s post I talked about the different types of writer’s block I’ve suffered from over the years, such as: having no ideas to write about having too many ideas to write about continually being distracted starting posts, but never finishing them. This week’s post is all about conquering that first one: having no ideas to write about. I’m going to show you how […]

This post is based on episode 130 of the ProBlogger podcast. When I started blogging (back in 2005, when RSS feeds were really big), I paid a lot of attention to when I published my posts because it seemed to affect how many people saw them. These days their visibility seems to be affected more by the timing of my social media posts and emails than of the posts themselves. Still, here are a few things […]
