Leslie,
I log in here regularly but didn’t check my own profile to see that I had unaccepted friend requests. I have lots of requests out there that haven’t been accepted so now, thanks to your post, I know that they aren’t just ignoring me but that like me, they haven’t spent the time required to figure out that friend requests are posted on…[Read more]

Jan,
I’ve been with Hostgator for years with nothing but great results, so can’t help from experience. But I have heard really good things about BlueHost so Leslie’s recommendation might be a good one. Good luck in your future hosing and sorry about any bad experience you had with Hostgator. I have actually heard nothing but good and had…[Read more]

Bruce- Like Sean said…you have some great insights. But I want to add another point. Marketers by nature tend to do what they do to benefit themselves instead of who they are supposed to be ‘serving’ and as you’ve noted the changes in algorithms is attempting to change that (and is actually doing a fair job at it). But you’re also right that…[Read more]

Tell it like it is Sean. Then let’s face it and get things done!

It really isn’t hard things we do (try digging ditches), it is just hard to do those things consistently and with interruptions when you may not always (actually pretty seldom) have a clear road to success laid out for you.

Just do it!

I have a cold, then do it
The rent is due,…[Read more]

About three years ago, I bought a van in Bowling Green KY. I spent the night with my oldest son and his wife there. We went out to eat with his inlaws (one of which has since died), picked up the van, spent the night, went to revival meeting the next day at my home town Church nearby.

At that time I was still drinking Pepsi.

He had bought a six…[Read more]

I first read this on my phone and didn’t see the 90 days part and assumed it was a month, which added to the What??? factor.

Still, 90 days seems like a tall order, but I think it is great to ask these “what if” questions, they often lead to breakthroughs.

If the average independent marketer could do this and the subscribers be in alignment with…[Read more]

Great insights from Both Bruce and Sean! There is one thing that probably could be said here for those reading it all… Launching a product at a lower price is better than not having anything out there at all because you’re working on getting it worthy of charging more. Sean is right that it makes a great buyer lead. It also helps eliminate…[Read more]

Yvonne,
Very good post…something we all need to remember. What you’ve said would be like a motivational speaker or a preacher deciding not to deliver his/her message because someone else just did something similar. Nobody EVER is the same. We are all totally different people, with different things to say and from a completely different…[Read more]

Very helpful, Julia, especially because you offer a specific getting-started (or starting-over) plan. Also appreciate your reminder about the “social” aspects of Facebook – so easy to get caught up in the marketing and lead-generating that it’s easy to forget the importance of socializing – even more important with FB’s upcoming changes.

Thanks Julia, I’m watching for when you add more. Looks like a great approach to the ‘social’ scene.

Bruce- You’ve got a lot of good advice in this thread but something nobody has mentioned is your email subject lines. If people don’t open your emails to read them because your subject line doesn’t get them to want to see what you’re going to say, the whole email is worthless. If you spend as much time figuring out exactly who your audience is,…[Read more]

I like the idea of minimalism, just not much of it.

-The Comic Relief Department

What really is Minimalism? I think it means some very different things to different people.

There is this movement that says to be a Minimalist you have to own 100 things or less. To me that sounds more like a game than a lifestyle. What 100 things? It is a bit…[Read more]

I agree with the concept of minimalism as Julia defines it here. But I’m way ahead of the curve in this regard.
My first wife died of cancer a few years back and when that long ugly ordeal occurred, it became very obvious that we had way too much stuff for our kids to have to deal with if I was to follow in her footsteps any time soon. So a few…[Read more]

Robert,
I feel for you. I guess I am out about a half million now because a man decided to start drinking before he took his step children to school and hit my wife and daughter. They are much more valuable than the money, but if I had not had the money they would have got the best care charity could have provided. That is far from the best care…[Read more]

Just walking out the door, I will check for your email.

I don’t get the flow. I think I need a flow chart on how facebook works and how things are connected. How do you get 50 likes from India when you aren’t even advertising?

I see things pop up on my page and before I can read them they disappear. What is that about?

I did advertise for…[Read more]
