By now you should have a solid idea for your ebook, the table of contents (or outline if you want to call it that), and the research all completed. The next step is to actually start writing. Depending on the situation, I ue two basic approaches. The one I choose will depend on how long […]

Finding ideas for blog posts is an art, especially if you post at least once a day. Someone on my friends list indicated that they were trolling the internet looking for information on how to come up with ideas. It got me thinking about how I come up with my own ideas, and I thought […]

After several months, this blog still is listed as being “unranked”, meaning it has no page rank! I’ve decided today that my pet project will be to devise a strategy that will get my page rank climbing. I think now that I have a wordpress theme that I am happy with, I can take promoting […]

You may notice that when I talk about blogging, I never bring up the “Get Paid To Blog” programs. This is because I’ve stopped using them.
