BLOGGERS...On Your Mark...GO...!!!

 

Via Fran 'The Title Man' Gaspari Title Insurance-PA & NJ (Patriot Land Transfer, Inc.):

I have been blogging, observing blogging, commenting, learning about SEO, appreciating the ART of BLOGGING, and analyzing blogging for about a year and a half now!!! Do I consider myself an expert? Heck no!!!

Do I love blogging? What do you think???  

Some would argue that, with a blog, CONTENT IS KING...true...however...  

It's not all about content!  

Others might say, it's the ability to attract comments...perhaps...but...  

You can be a great blogger and not attract a lot of comments, particularly if your posts are simple to understand, have universal (but not necessarily politically correct) appeal, and are short and to the point...  

So, if CONTENT IS KING, and attracting commenters is right next to king in the hierarchy of importance, then what makes a good blogger???  

To me, the mark of a good blogger is exhibited by the blogger's ability to communicate with the subscribers and readers of the blog...especially those who take the time and comment on the post...!!! In days gone by, this would have been considered common courtesy, but in today's fast paced world common courtesy has gone the way of T-REX...and that's not the decking company...!!!  

If you want an example of a GOOD BLOGGER...go to Lenn Harley's blog...Lenn answers every commenter...and what's even more special about Lenn is...her answers illuminate her LISTENING ABILITY...her responses to comments make the commenter feel as though they are sitting right across the breakfast table with Lenn...and when I feel that comfortable...I'm in the presence of a GOOD LISTENER...  

And that, my friends, LISTENING ABILITY, in my opinion, is not only the key to becoming a successful blogger, but the key to becoming successful in any business!!!

saving money lake norman

  1. Limit my Starbucks consumption to 1 drink per week. Savings = $25 per week!
  2. Try to limit my grocery and errand running to once per week to save gas. Savings = $30 (one tank of gas) per month!
  3. Get my Oil Change at Wal-mart. Savings = $60 (4 oil changes per year) I can also do my shopping while I wait.
  4. Buy clothes ONLY on Sale. Savings = $???
  5. Limit Birthday, Anniversary, and Closing Gifts to $25 or less. Savings = $400+ per year!
  6. Use Free Contact Management Software (like Outlook) instead of Top Producer. Savings = $34.99 per month!
  7. Wash & Clip my own dog instead of taking her to the groomers. Savings = $50 every month!
  8. Only eat out about 2 times a month for dinner. Savings = $100 per month. It will make it more fun to plan for just the 2 times anyway. Make it special!
  9. Use Dryel for my clothes instead of taking them to the dry cleaners and ironing them myself. Savings = $65 per month!
  10. Use the Brita Water Pitcher for water instead of buying tons of water bottles. Savings = $20 per month (4 cases)


I will save over $450 each month!

Do you have any more tips to share?
