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]

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]

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 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]

Great thread to start Yvonne. Thanks.
What I do for planning is a simple to-do list I built in a Word document that I cut and paste prioritized things to the top. I added a quote at the top that says, “Sloppy Success is Better Than Perfect Mediocrity” to help keep me on track and moving. I add a ‘ONE THING’ line for each day of the week at the…[Read more]

Great advice, Yvonne, and a great story I’m glad you shared to remind us all to get out from behind our screens. It is way too easy to even allow our mindset to keep us isolated which is obviously not good. Thanks again.

And let me add one more thing…

I’m sure Sean has taken a LOT more effort on making this group what it can be than many in here give him credit for. The fact that the 20% post more than the other 80% isn’t a new phenomenon…but pretty normal. I, for one, am extremely grateful for all his efforts. I think it would be great for more people to…[Read more]

Scott,
I imagine you’re right. I used to type faster than I could read. So you suggesting that the long posts aren’t something you have to slave over is, I imagine, true. But for ME, things are a little different. I just read your entire post in the Members Tutorial section about how much of our brain we use. That whole question is not only…[Read more]
