5 Things Blogging Doesn’t Teach You About Running a Real Online Business
If you’ve been into blogging for any amount of time, you know that blogging alone doesn’t guarantee an income stream.
You may have all the comments and community in the world, but it doesn’t automatically translate into a real online business.
It just means you have a blog.
The Geeky Gear I Use To Run My Online Business
There is one thing that all internet entrepreneurs have in common: we ALL use a computer to do what we do.
Not only that, but our computer and the gear that goes along with it ends up being a central part of our lives.
Over the years, I’ve gone through a lot of equipment. There may be people that think I buy things which are too expensive (i.e. buying a Mac when a cheaper Windows machine would do), but the way I look at it is like this…
Why Story-Telling Is The Super Glue For Your Blog
Why is it that you can give the best information in the world on your site, and yet barely hear a peep from your readers?
No comments, no retweets, no shares. Its like being in the woods in the dark of night – crickets.
Yet… somebody’s shitty blog with hardly any real useful content seems to get all the activity.
Are they just lucky? What’s the missing X-factor?
The 5 Rules of Six-Figure Blogging
A lot of bloggers out there want to make money doing it, but the way it is being approached just isn’t going to work.
I’ve said it about 2 billion times by now (I’ve lost count), but a blog is not a business. It never will be.
Yet, I see a lot of bloggers that, when they sit down and work, all they focus on is writing that next blog post. Really? How’s THAT going to make a business for you?
So, I thought I’d sit down and create a simple list of problogging TRUTHS. Understand these – APPLY it – and you’ll be further ahead.
7 Reasons Why You Might Be Struggling To Build A List
This is a guest post by Richard Adams.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock then you’ve no doubt heard the phrase “the money is in the list” over and over again. And yet if you’re reading this post right now it’s also likely that you’re struggling to build your list either because you haven’t yet got started or, almost as bad, because you followed all the advice of the “gurus” and you’re still barely seeing a single subscriber joining your list each day.
4 Reasons Your Site Isn’t Ranking
When I first started working online, I didn’t have much faith in SEO. I was misled, misinformed, and misguided. Nothing I tried seemed to work – the highest I ever got in the search results was on the 6 or 7th page.
After a LOT of studying, and some fortunate connections (mainly, my business partner Tom), that is no longer an issue. We are frequently able to rank sites within 2-4 weeks in competitive niches – and SEO now comes easy to us.
7 Ways To Get Endless Ideas For Your Blog Posts
You know you should write about something. You haven’t posted to your blog in days. You’re not too proud of that fact. But, what do you write about?
So, you rack your brain. You come up with a few ideas, but perhaps you stall because you’ve kinda written about it before, or you’re not sure anybody but you will even care.
You might look at other bloggers and wonder, “How the hell do they keep getting all those great ideas for posts?”
Well, I don’t know. But, I’ll tell you how I go about it…

How To Find and Hire Writers For Your Blog (The Complete Guide)
One of the big bottlenecks for blogging is, ironically, the actual blogging.
It can be pretty time intensive creating all your own content. So, depending on your business model and your intentions, there are times when hiring other writers is the best way to go. It is what I do over on PCMech and, were it not for them, PCMech wouldn’t exist. I simply don’t have time to keep up with that site and this one all by myself.
Replying To Blog Comments – Do You Do It?
When somebody comments on your blog, do you make a point to reply to it?
There are two sides to this coin, and my thoughts on the matter have adjusted somewhat. In fact, long-time readers of this blog may recall a video I made where I jumped into a debate started on somebody else’s blog complaining that many pro bloggers don’t reply to their own comments. At the time, I argued that replying to every comment could actually hurt your blogging.
Today, I’m going to modify my position. Because, it has changed.
Hey, I'm David. Dont' know where to start? No worries. Let me help you get started.
