I’ve talked about The Redwood Strategy many times. It is my personal approach to blogging. In short… Instead of cranking out new stuff all the time, you slow the heck down. You begin circling back and updating old posts and making more of what you have. There’s more to it, of course. And you can…
Every time Facebook makes a little noise, marketers everywhere do the “freak out” dance. I find it funny every time it happens. For awhile now, marketers have lamented the decline of organic reach on Facebook. In other words, when you post something to your page, less and less of your people will actually see it….
The other day I was talking with my wife. See, we homeschool our kids. Not for any religious reasons or anything… just because we think our school system sorta blows (but that’s another topic for another day, perhaps). And we were talking about ways to improve the homeschooling time. And I proposed something. Something that…
Most people make blogging take too long. Me? I’ve been blogging for 20 years now. Been making my living at it for most of that time. And I’ll be the first to tell ya… I’m a lazy blogger. 🙂 Not lazy as a person (altho I have my moments like we all do), but just…
Just because you have a blog doesn’t mean you’re blogging. … because if you’re trying to build a real business, then you really shouldn’t be blogging. You should be doing content marketing, tho. What’s the difference? People kind of use the words interchangeably, but there’s a distinct difference of approach between them. And you need…
As I said in yesterday’s email, it is easy to choke on ideas. And my job is to help my students with their business. But, it can be frustrating as hell. Because the amount of distractions is off the charts. And you know what doesn’t help? Crap like this… There’s a common idea that part…
It is easy to choke on ideas. Especially if you read alot. Blogs, books, etc. (oohh… I need to say something about that. Tomorrow. 🙂 ) It is so easy to read all this stuff and get so many ideas that the result is…. paralysis. Nothing happens, despite you kinda knowing what you need to be…
The Lab Community forum is a pretty cool (and active) place, but I was going in there this morning to answer questions and I noticed something. A decent chunk of the threads being started over the last few weeks have to do with TOOLS. People asking for thoughts on membership platforms, email services, themes, yada…
Sometimes, I change my mind. Like, this weekend, I set out to buff/polish the motorhome and remove oxidation off the fiberglass. I got into it about 45 minutes and realized…. I should just pay somebody to do this. 😉 But, I change things on my website all the time, too. To try things out. For…
You ever looked for an item you want to buy on Craigslist? Or Facebook Marketplace? Or, try to sell something on there? We’ve been selling some old stuff lately. So, it’s been on the brain. 🙂 But, both platforms make heavy use of imagery. In fact, on Craigslist, there’s that option to use Gallery view…
One thing about The Daily is that I want it to be applicable and relevant to you. While not EVERY issue is going to get a rise out of ya, my goal is that you take the ones that ARE relevant to you and APPLY them. After all, if you’re a connoisseur of blogs about blogging, then well……
If you’ve been with me for awhile, you know I’m a bit of an RV nerd. RV traveling is kind of a thing for me. 😉 So, I subscribe to a few RV blogs just to see what they’re doing. And, as I sit here and look at some of these post headlines in Feedly,…
