Recycle Your Old Blog Posts If Get Stuck For An Idea
Posted by: | Comments
Reading about Jane Fonda’s new workout DVD made me think about how you can recycle your old blog posts. Just as Jane has given a new twist to her original best selling exercise videos you can give a new twist to your old blog posts.
By the way this post came about from one of My 5 Top Tips For Getting Ideas For Blog Posts which I wrote a post about not long ago.
I am talking here about recycling your old blog posts by re-posting them on your blog. There are other ways of recycling old blog posts by posting them elsewhere but that will have to be a subject for another blog post.
My 5 Top Tips For Getting Ideas For Blog Posts
Posted by: | Comments
From what I read on internet marketing and making money online forums bloggers often have a hard time coming up with ideas for blog posts.
Ever since my last blog post I have been thinking about what I should write for my next blog post. I was hoping to maybe get some inspiration from something that I saw or read or from someone I met over the weekend. In the end my idea for this blog post came not from any of those things but from just wondering what to write.
I Have Claimed My Blog On Technorati!
Posted by: | CommentsOne if the things I read recently about SEO and getting traffic to my blog was that I should submit my blog to Technorati. They call it “claiming” your blog which you have to do with a claim code that looks like this 3JFEU6AJR6JY. Something I had completely overlooked until now.
Technorati, if you don’t already know, is a search engine for searching blogs. It’s a big and important blog directory. By adding your blog you can get another valuable backlink to your blog. Technorati has a page rank of 8.
Get Your Avatar If You Want To Get Noticed

I just watched a short video about having an avatar to get peoples attention so I thought I would write this quick post about it.
If you want to be successful at internet marketing it’s essential to have an avatar to get peoples’ attention. Although the word avatar has other meanings, on the internet an avatar is a graphic that represents the user. It can be a real-life digital photo of yourself or a cartoon image.
If you are serious about branding yourself and making money on the internet there are good reasons why you should not use a cartoon image which I will explain further on.
When you register on a number of different sites you are often asked to upload a photo of yourself when you create your profile. This is your avatar.
My Lucky Escape With BlogPressSEO WordPress Plugin
Posted by: | Comments
I have had a lucky escape with the BlogPressSEO WordPress Plugin. I have just found out it was malware! I had it installed on 3 blogs too.
I installed this plugin about a year ago. I can’t remember exactly how I came by it but I must have been convinced that it was going to help my blogs with SEO. There was a free version and a paid version but I had the free version.
Just recently I started having some problems with the text captcha plugin on this blog and I also noticed that I was getting this error text at the bottom of my blog posts.
I Am Getting Mobile
Posted by: | CommentsI have just spent the last 3 weeks on holiday in Spain, soaking up the fantastic hot sunny weather. It was a bit of a shock arriving back to this cold weather here I can tell you. While I was there I noticed an article in one of the free English newspapers about how to make a website mobile friendly.
It seems that nearly everyone except me has a smart phone these days so I had not thought about this before. Although it’s possible to view a website on a mobile device space is short and not everything that you would normally see on your laptop or PC will fit on the mobile screen easily.
Creating My Free Training Page
Posted by: | CommentsOne tip I learned from Marc about another way of getting subscribers to opt-in to my list was to create a “Free Training” page on my blog. The idea is to use it as another way to get people to my squeeze page for my free report lead magnet.
To do this I had to create a new page by going into Pages in my WordPress dashboard and creating a page with the title Free Training. This should have added another tab to the navigation bar at the top of my blog but it didn’t!
I’ve Added Thank Me Later Plugin To My Blog
Posted by: Sandy | Comments (11)I noticed that when I comment on some blogs I sometimes get an email message a few days later thanking me for it. I thought this was a really nice touch so started to investigate how I could do it too. According to several internet marketers I asked, the best WordPress plugin for this is the Thank Me Later Plugin.
The plugin is completely free from the WordPress Plugin Directory and works on WordPress versions 3.1 or higher. So, I thought I would give it a go. After all, what have I got to lose? It’s another chance to keep my name out there.
