OK, I’ve established that blogging is NOT dead. Basically because it’s a way to explain how you can help your audience. That is called getting your foot in the door. Remember the rest is up to you. You need a product that people want to pay for. And you need to be able to deliver […]

There are two types of people writing blog posts: Bloggers People who have a blog because someone (like me) told them they need one for their business I’m a blogger, and I’m writing this post for those who fit into the second type. It’s not a bad thing to be a non-blogger with a blog. […]

This is going to be a quick post since blogging is dead. At least that’s what Brian Clark over at CopyBlogger.com says. Or is he? He’s got a point about content marketing that I’m not sure I get. And I don’t think he wants me to get it – yet. This seems to be the […]

Can you guess where I was Friday? Let me describe the scene. I sat at a table with about six other people. We had a few conversations. Some were about business. Some were about holiday shopping.
