Blog Writing Tips

Wayne John presents Make Blogging Easier with Windows Live Writer posted at Wayne John, saying, “Tired of logging in to a web based interface to write a post or manage your existing posts? You can make your blogging experience easier by using Windows Live Writer. I highly recommend this tool to every blogger who uses a web-based interface to construct their post”

Scott Mahler presents Tips for Creating a Successful Blog posted at JBerry Marketing Consultants, saying, “Blogging has been around for a while, but a lot of people still think of it as something people do to spout off random thoughts. Surf around the internet a bit, and you will see how wrong that thought is. Just about every business I know has either added a blog as a companion to their website, or they are in the process of doing it. But, many of them don’t know how to go about starting it, or helping it grow.”

General Tips

Brian Terry presents How To Profit Online Without Selling Or Referring? posted at Big Marketing Secrets Blog, saying, “A big question about internet marketing is ”how can one make a significant amount of money without buying or selling or doing anything concerning referals, etc””

Diane Corriette presents Want an easy and low cost way to make money online? Get yourself a blog posted at Online business building with blogs, podcasts and membership sites, saying, “If you are looking for an easy and low cost way to make money online then a blog is one of the easiest ways to get started. Relatively low cost to get started (all you need is a good hosting provider and a domain name) and easy to set up/maintain running your own blog is definitely low investment costs and high potential return”

Social Bookmarking

Scott Mahler presents What is Social Media posted at JBerry Marketing Consultants, saying, “What is social media? If you are somebody who blogs a lot, loves reading blogs or has a website, you probably already know the answer to this question. But, as I’ve recently discovered, there are many businesses that are in the dark when it comes to this phenomenon. In fact, several friends of mine have told me that the high-powered companies they work for are beginning to ak what a “tweet” is.”

Dr Martin Russell presents Swap & Drop – A Million-Making Networking Tip posted at Word of Mouth Marketing, saying, “One of the key rules of success has to be ‘copy what works’ – “Swap & Drop” is a little known, face-to-face networking method that actually works.”

Wayne John presents Using Images For Your Social Links On Blogger Posts posted at Wayne John, saying, “You’ve more than likely seen images used as well as text links for social bookmark links on many different blogs and web sites. Using images for your social links will add a little more flair to your Blogger posts. Not only that, using images will save a little more space than the textual name of each service will, in most cases using images will also be more pleasing to the eyes.”
