As a thank you to those that visit and contribute to my blog, I’ve wanted to do some sort of giveaway for awhile, but wanted it to be somewhat relevant to what I do and write about. My blog certainly doesn’t generate crazy amounts of traffic or revenue, so I couldn’t exactly get too crazy, but I think I’ve come up with something pretty cool. So what’s the prize package you ask? To one lucky reader I will be giving away the following social media book package: Socialnomics by Erik ...
What I’ve Learned About Blogging Based On A Year’s Worth Of Data
I didn't really get serious about blogging until the past year, and even then, I haven't written as much as I would like. Like many bloggers, I've gone in and out of writing, and that doesn't help with maintaining a consistent flow of traffic to your blog. At the end of the day, driving eyeballs to my blog isn't really the ultimate goal, writing useful and appreciated content is. But I like anyone loves to see people visit. So I decided to dive deep into the analytics of ...

Not having to worry about carrying a portable hard drive, thumb drive, or the right device is extremely liberating. And no one does ...
Dear Twitter: Please Add Auto DM Blocking
It’s no secret that Twitter’s schedule of feature enhancements is fairly lacking and infrequent. I suppose when you grow as quickly and as large as they have, and you’re a free service, you don’t necessarily have to do too much. But if there was one stinking feature I so desperately wish they would add is a way to block Auto DMs. I’m not entirely sure if this is even possible, or how it would be done, but I’ve got to believe there would be a relatively easy way to do this. ...
5 Steps To A Professional Grade Blog On A Budget
While there are quite a few “free” options when it comes to starting a blog, sometimes you want a little more then what they can offer, especially if you are wanting to get serious about building a professional grade blog. The great news is that these days, even a great looking, unique blog doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Wordpress has changed the game and opened up the door giving the potential for anyone to create and publish great content and possibly earn a few bucks in the ...
