To Blog Or Not To Blog

What a great post... it is old and I see that Blog is no longer to be found.... (should not of had a blog for your business on a Blogger blog anyway) Excellent comments as well

I had to dig through 10 pages of nothing but copy and paste crap to get to this one...
Glad I found it Roosevelt. I would love to see what your working on now

Blogging is my passion, and I understand is a hard job to maintain it, a blog is an amazing tool to build your business. Your Blog has the key to succeed; unique quality content. Cheers!

In my case, I am building my biz around 3 things: 1) helping online marketers 2) self-improvement 3) work-life balance. This gives me plenty of margin of maneuver.

Hi Roosevelt, I am faced with the same problem but my main dilemma is finding what I will not get tired of down the road and decide on a new direction. This has been an on going issue for me for years. I have been contemplating incorporating all that interests me so I can jump back and forth.

cool, Roosevelt :)

Thanks for all the comments. Becasue of this dialogue I now have an idea of a blog format that will be fun for me to maintain and useful to my blog readers. Stay tuned for more! LOL!

All great ideas!
Cheers!

Anil, I have a question for you. How do you spend your time in online marketing ?

Maintaining a blog can be tedious and time consuming.Don't know how bloggers do this.

One tool you would love to use is Windows Live Writer. It was highly recommended to me, so I installed it last year. It's free. You write your posts on your PC, instead of on the WordPress or Blogger dashboard. When you're finished, you click "publish", it adds it to your blog. You made a mistake? No problem. You correct it in WLW, then publish again, it replaces the former post with the corrected one. I have a video on how to use Windows Live Writer if you're interested.

Elizabeth, I had never thought of auto-post of my own APSense content to my blog. Maybe for articles and RevPages? Although the tags we put in articles and revPages are not for search engines, but for branding ourselves. It's an idea to consider for sure. Some marketers might say it's preferable to not have identical content on 2 sites, but I'm not sure about that.

Roosevelt, there are different things you can do to add content. For example, when I see a great blog post from someone else, I r

Thanks, Elizabeth. You and Philippe are really motivating me to keep at maintaining my own blog.

I don't think he is being bombarded with comments from what I can see. He just needs more people to engage and comment. I don't know how you would do that with blogger. I have one blog left on blogger and I never even go there lately. But there are certain sites, social sites, that post to them automatically. I'd have to check to see which ones there are. Maybe we could get Wincer to add that app to Apsense. Then everytime we post here, it would automatically post to blogger, or wordpress. I thi

Lovely blog Roosevelt. Looks to me like all you need is more followers! Advertise, advertise, advertise....!

30 blogs...I had 6 or 7 a few months ago, I abandoned a few, no time to maintain them. They say we should one product one blog, but I haven't chosen that route, I hope I never have to. As for akismet, it's very efficient, does it exist for blogger too? Cause I think Roosevelt's blog is on blogger. And it doesn't solve the problem mentioned by Roosevelt, i.e. adding content, although I agree it's frustrating to have to go through tons of spam comments and akismet solves that problem. :)

I think it was called "onlywire" but it was through tribepro...I don't know much about it, I just set it up for him....He likes it....I used to have 30 blogs at one time...they do take a lot of time. But once they are set up and you get your 'askimet' set up to filter the spam, you shouldn't have too much time involved in the upkeep...

Cheers!
Hope everyone is having a great evening...:)

I stay away from auto-blogging, Elizabeth, I prefer to control content, but that's me, unless you talk about something else ?

That's an idea, Liz! Thanks!

There are a lot of different programs out there that will post to your blog and send commentators to it. My friend has something of that nature and it keeps his social train moving!
Cheers!

LOL I neglect too many other things :)
