Assuming we use the word Blogger as a ‘verb’ which describes it literally to be ‘one who blogs’, calling oneself a ‘Blogger’ may give someone else a false impression of what you REALLY are doing.
Ok, lets try and say that again :). You could collect many different individuals who BLOG, and some may be offended by the freedom with which someone else allows themselves to attach themselves to this line of ‘work’, or perhaps ‘pleasure’.
Â
Sometimes I make no sense no matter how many times I try :).
Â
For example… Pat Conroy may take offense that Danielle Steel calls herself a novelist…. and many serious bloggers may take offense that others who just Blog to make a buck and create cheap trashy sites spitting out RSS content and plaster them with Google Adsense (I said PLASTERED people - nothing wrong with me trying to pay for my chocolate habit) .
Â
I am straddling the fence since I am really peddling a business here, but refuse to blog without trying to add my own personal flair, style and believe it or not - my own written words! Dont let that surprise you. Many marketers such as myself get ahead by buying the rights to use public label rights (PLR) content that someone else has created. In fact I have such a membership where I receive monthly material all related to marketing. Yet every time I look through the list of articles, searching for a good blog post, I see lots of great information, but its like HO HUM.. if I cant get through it, why would I expect you to?? Good news - gonna save myself $12.95 a month now!
Â
This makes my professional life a little complicated since I admire that which this was not set out to be, yet I fully intend to keep delivering. Therefore the rules will just have to keep changing to what Suits me best, and I guess that really what Blogging is all about.
Â
I added a few categories which I think I will enjoy writing and I hope you will enjoy reading..
Â
1) Personal Baby Steps… posts like this, when I make a decision, when I grow in business
Â
2) Things I learned today Series - When I have a busy surfing day and feel like sharing the goods whether it be personal or business related… I can see where you could confuse this with category above, but I wont
Â
3) Idea of the week - Many of my readers are work at home moms (or aspiring), so I hope to offer a weekly review of a job that can be done from home, with or without the need for the computer! Guest entries welcome!
Â
So this way I can continue to have my BLOG and eat it too…

It’s time to see the GEEKS GO WILD. Throwing computer languages at each other, rolling around in the proverbial world wide web, and one upping each other on altruism.  In case you do not know of what I refer, it is none other than the Continue reading Internet Marketing Gets UGLY!!!

1) When you ask for critiscm, you are bound to receive it.
Â
2) You may think you are super woman / mom, but your posts prove otherwise - you write ‘it’s’ when it should be ‘its’ you write ‘Squiddo’ when it should be ‘Squidoo’, and your family has NO clue what this whole site is about - AFTER visiting! I mean what does a video of a birth of an Island have to do with anything else on this site???
Â
3) The more I speak with family and friends about sites that they work for, or sites of their friends, the more I realize how many simple SIMPLE tools small businesses overlook that could really skyrocket their business. I realize that I should jump with 2 feet into almost ANY niche market and have advantages over my competition…
Â
4) Eat Bananas Daily - Apparently they are good for like every part of your body.
Â
The bottom Line = This site will be referred to as my MUSINGS on how to Earn Online. I like to babble nonsense way to often to be responsible for something overly focused…..
Â
Plus, I think that will draw in more readers
Â
And earn me more money
Â
So..

There are times you work, and there are times you surf the web while on the job. Of course if you are like me and you WORK FROM HOME, you dont get PAID to surf (like sooo many of my friends), and then you could have a very unproductive day.
Â
However, if you choose to glean something from EVERY website that you visit, and as a result help improve your business, then you may be pleasantly surprised with the end results.Here is what I learned today:

1) Most important for you visitors, so I will start HERE:

Introducing My FIRST VIDEO
Please Wait for it to download. Otherwise you will just hear a really great Coldplay song.
There is no such education as actually doing. This was so simple and fun.
Tell me if you liked it…
I am interrupting my current series due to an inability to continue without sharing this great news. Am I struggling to make money online?? It is hard to say. I definitely belong in the rare category of someone who can talk the talk.. but have a hard time walking the walk.. meaning I possess more knowledge than most, but have not really been able to profit from it much.
Most people are somewhere along the path of just beginning to understand, putting the pieces together, or actually profiting. The reason I dont really belong to any of those 3 is because of a revelation I was told that really took me aback.
Its not that I didn’t know this about myself. Its that I refused to believe that It was true. Wanna know what it was?
