I’m fresh back from the Type A Parent conference in Asheville, NC. Though the conference is always one of my favorites to attend each year, with top notch content and speakers relevant to serious bloggers, even those of us who aren’t parent bloggers, I’m going to disagree a bit with the monetization power panel that [...]

As I write this, I have three ebook projects on the back burner. Part of the reason they’re not complete is because I’m busy with my job and, now, a book deal. The other reason is because I want them to be worthy of your investment. I’ve become a little jaded about ebooks – mine [...]

Yesterday I wondered if bloggers were the new Internet marketers because now everyone has something to sell, and plenty of bloggers have a push for all occasions.There’s nothing wrong with having something to sell, but when everything is a sales pitch I begin to doubt the sincerity of the blog.

And though I love browsing through bookstores, I appreciate receiving books immediately via Kindle when I don’t have [...]

I regret to report that passive income is something I didn’t even think of until only a few years ago. Being technically challenged has kept from earning to my true potential. I used to think that heavily monetizing a blog with ads was the way to go. It wasn’t until I saw all my favorite [...]

A common mistake made among bloggers is in not exploring alternative publishing options for their blogs. Your blog could explode beyond that of a web page if you’d only take the time to check out the choices available. As much as we’d like to think we have a loyal community who visits our blogs each [...]

When I first began blogging, whether or not to monetize a blog was a controversial topic. Only sellouts and greedy money grubbers or Internet marketers put up ads. Then folks like Darren Rowse and John Chow proved that there was serious money to be made via blogging and all of a sudden it wasn’t such [...]
