Blog For Profit Newsletter

Oct 15, 2008

In order to continue to build the Blog For Profit community, I am thrilled to announce a way for our readers to become even more involved in the blog and that is by subscribing to our FREE members only newsletter.

The newsletter will start out as a bimonthly event and may go to a weekly. Best of all, other then giving you a brief update on the most popular posts for the last two weeks, the content will be new and fresh. It will be content only the newsletter subscribers will get. We will also include links to other blogs and even products we feel you will be interested in. And yes, when we highlight products, we may just have an affiliate with that product. But we never recommend anything we do not or would not use ourselves.

There will be special features of the newsletter, including a “Featured” blogger for each edition. Which is why we ask that you submit by email to me at grant@g2webmedia.com who you would like to nominate to be included. And yes, you can nominate yourself. Just make sure you include your email address and blog’s URL.

Submit your name and email address in the below form to be added to the newsletter community. Your privacy will be valued and your email address will not be used for any other purpose than to send this newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time.

On submitting your email here you will be sent an email asking you to confirm your subscription. Please let me know if you have any problems with our subscription process.

While you are there, subscribe to Blog For Profit to keep up to date on new post.

The Power of Blogging and Twitter

Oct 09, 2008

This has been a busy week for me as far as having a chance to both guest post and have a recorded interview too.

Guest Post

MIchael Martine offered a chance to be part of a series on “Blogger Biographies” and I jumped at the chance. I love Michael’s blog Remarkablogger. And Michael is a pretty cool guy too. And getting to know Michael is another one of those benefits you get from blogging and even using twitter. Because twitter is where I really got to know Michael.

My Blogger Biography was published by Michael yesterday. And I was humbled to say the least by the great comments people left. Thank you to all of you who did.

I enjoyed writing the guest post and it was wonderful to have a chance to be even a small part of such a great blog as Remarkablogger. I subscribe to Michael’s blog and read it everyday. If you don’t,you should.

Podcast Guest

If there is one thing George & Mary-Lynn over at BIGG success now know, I love talking about working from a home office and about blogging. A few weeks ago Mary-Lynn contacted me to ask if I would be interested in do a spot on their wonderful blog BIGG success. It took me all of 2 seconds to decide of course.

I have come to know George & Mary-Lynn through their blog, through email exchanges over the last few months and even by having conversations on twitter. Just one more example of the power of using social media and then following up with an in person phone call.

The three of us had a great conversation a week or so ago and you can listen to the podcast and read part of the interview by visiting TIps to Manage More than One Business from Home.

George & Mary-Lynn are wonderful people and while the podcast is only so long, we had a great conversation which I know could have lasted hours. I plan to visit Chicago in the very near future and they are certainly on my list of must see people.

And while you are there listening to the interview, click that little orange button in the browser address bar and subscribe to their blog. If you are in business, you owe it to yourself to read and listen to BIGG success.

Alltop- What is it?

Apr 20, 2008

I have been watching and looking at Alltop for a few weeks now. And I have really been trying to figure it out. Thanks to chrisbrogan.com for putting up his post, Alltop - Encouraging the Mainstream today. I am including the main points of Chris’ post for you to read below. I think he sums it up better than I could.

What Is It

Alltop is an Internet magazine rack, fed by blogs. It is a site that aggregates summary content from multiple blogs into categories of interest. The source blogs feed information into Alltop by way of their RSS feed, but all of this plumbing is hidden away under the covers so that Alltop users don’t have to think about it.

Who Uses It

Alltop isn’t for you or me. It’s for friends and family and coworkers who aren’t yet surfing at the speed of light with Google Reader, or adding meta commentary via FriendFeed. It’s for our neighbor who still logs into AOL, or people who want to read a sampling of information without a lot of customization.

Why Should You Care

First, check out the various categories at Alltop. Is your blog a great representative of one of the categories? You might contact Guy and ask to be listed in that category. Second, this is another way to get people comfortable with using blogs as sources of information. Remember, you and I are IN this world. We forget that others still question the credibility of blogs.
