Blogging Tips

How Dare You?

Guess what?  Writers are not perfect.  You see proof of this fact every day if you read enough blogs, books, newspapers or magazines.  The best writers in the world make mistakes, misspell words, use poor grammar at times and punctuate incorrectly.  Why?  Because writers are human and humans make mistakes.  Sometimes humans make mistakes several times before they learn the lesson. Sometimes they never learn.

All writers’ have their pet peeves too, things they notice immediately that may go unnoticed by another writer.  A few of my pet peeves are the use (or misuse) of then and than and obvious misspellings of common words.  Writers will often point out these fallacies in material they find on the web, in the newspaper or in novels.  When this happens, the writer’s own shortcomings are subject to being scrutinized and pointed out by yet another writer who has different pet peeves.  Often the second …

Winners Circle – Exclusive Internet Marketing Case Studies

A few weeks ago I spoke about Gyutae Parks ebook release ‘The Winning Way – Ultimate Marketing Checklist‘. The ebook contained a huge amount of tips and ideas and is well worth downloading.

Gyutae is moving onto bigger and better things with today being the launch of his new member site Winners Circle. Unlike other member sites which try and explain how you can build up a successful website from start, Winners Circle teaches members through interviews and case studies.

Don’t Take Advantage of Celebrity Deaths on Twitter

Sadly, several celebrities have died in the past week. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mayes. Social media has nearly taken the Internet down, breaking news, sharing personal stories and spreading their own thoughts and feelings regarding these tragedies. So why would someone take advantage of the morbid trend by hacking into a celebrity Twitter account and reporting that they too have passed away?

In light of the untimely deaths of so many celebrities in such a short period of time, it’s just creepy and unnecessary for a hacker to break into Brittney Spears’ Twitter account and spread rumors that she is dead. The hacker even went so far as to us the pop singer’s twitpic account for effect. While Spears has since updated her Twitter account and Twitter itself says it’s working on the particular vulnerability that allowed the twitpic hack, one has to wonder at the thought process behind such a hack.

Suffering Society

The children of the world aren’t the only ones suffering when it comes to grammar errors. Many people believe that the kids nowadays are just lazy and don’t really care. Some people say that it’s the parents’ fault for not making sure their children are getting top marks in their studies. There seems to be a whole generation of children who are terrible spellers and don’t understand the function of grammar.

Could cell phones and texting be behind the errors that run rampant on the web and in blogs, or could it come from somewhere we least expect it?

I seriously hope that the educators of the nation’s schools aren’t as ignorant grammar wise as at the school where I substitute teach. There are …

Backlinks Move A Blog Forward

Anyone who has ever gone to the trouble of setting up a blog knows that without some kind of internet advertising there’s little chance that the creation will get much exposure other than through the word of mouth that family and friends can supply. And let’s face the facts. Whether your new blog is about the all the great uses you know of for sunflower seeds or the latest software that you’re selling as an affiliate, a push is what’s needed to get people to notice you.

Remember that if you want your blog to well you need to have a good ranking and that means you need to get noticed by the search engines. And all the experts agree that getting good backlinks is an important part of the process.  And the number of these is important as well. You’ll need …
