Being a ‘finisher’ is important in every area of life. Doing what you say you will is just as important. You can have reasons or results. My latest 30 day power blogging challenge once again proved that more people will take on a challenge than ever finish it, making it easier for those of us [...]

I teach technology, so I wanted to share with you just how easy it is to set up a WordPress blog. You must first purchase a domain name. I recommend GoDaddy for this, unless you are already buying your domains elsewhere. You then need hosting, and I recommend Blue Host Solutions (my affiliate link) for [...]

With everything that is written about getting started online with an internet business, it turns out that a few simple steps are all you need to get started. I have referred to this since 2007 as the 5 pronged approach, and it is still valid today. In fact, these five prongs have helped me to [...]

Darren Rowse, founder of the ProBlogger blog since 2002, blogged today about blogger’s block. I have written about writer’s block in the past, so this post was of interest to me. I know my students need to have tips on writing every day as well. It turns out that being able to write quickly will [...]

Recently I overheard someone saying they couldn’t do anything with their online business because they were waiting for their webmaster to set up something for them. To that I say ‘Poppycock!’ You must keep moving, no matter what anyone else is doing.

They say hindsight is 20/20, meaning that it is easier to see what you could have done after the time has passed. I believe this is true. This makes it much easier for me to teach my students how to make money online faster and easier than it was for me.
Every day someone will write [...]

Ask just about anyone about how to build an online business and the first thing they will recommend is blogging. I started blogging in 2005, just to get started online and to refine my niche. As time went on my blog posts became more specific to my topic and readers began to comment.

I don’t write or speak about this topic very often, but writing articles and blogging for small businesses accounts for about 20% of my income. You can do the same thing and get paid while you learn more about building your own business.

I had a scare this week. After more than two years of posting to this site, my blog crashed on Monday afternoon. It was all my fault. Instead of changing over to the hosting company I teach my students to use, I left my hosting with the company I buy my domains from. This was [...]
