Wordpress design, guided blog transfers, & blog writing tips
A couple of months ago, Darren Rowse of Problogger wrote something on Google+ about blogging that caught my attention.
It was from a G+ post titled “Traits of Successful Bloggers #6 – Communicators.”
It caught my attention because it contradicted a belief I had about blogging.
Here’s the quote: [Read more...]
Everyone wants a beautiful blog design.
A design that stands out from the crowd.
But custom designs are super expensive.
They cost at least a few thousand dollars.

Blogging is mainly about two things—writing and marketing.
Since such a large part of blogging success comes from quality writing that stands out in the crowd of mediocre articles, it behooves blog writers to become better at writing. That’s why the first two books on this list are about writing.
But blogging isn’t only about written content. It’s also about promoting the great posts that get written. No matter how awesome an article is, if no one knows it exists, it won’t get read. That’s where marketing comes in, and that’s why book number three is about marketing.

What is guest blogging anyway?
Guest blogging is when you spend time and effort crafting a well thought out post, but, instead of publishing it on your own blog, you give it to a friend to publish for free (just like I’m doing right now for Joseph).
But why would you do such a preposterous thing? Is it just because you like Joseph and his blog? That may be true, but shouldn’t you be working on your own website? Shouldn’t you spend the time it’s taking to write the post and use it on your own site?

If you’re like me, you’re doing your best to keep up with the latest posts, but it’s difficult with the sheer number of articles published each month.
Shouldn’t there be a list of the top posts so that you don’t have to wade through them all to find the good stuff?
To help with that, I’ve compiled a list of five of the most valuable posts for bloggers from the month of August. Each article has a lot to teach about writing, marketing, and blogging.
I’ve also included links to two posts that I wrote for major blogs this month. They’re listed below the five excellent posts from August.
Enjoy! [Read more...]
