Building successful online business
Let me keep this short and sweet. After more than a year of posting here, more than 150 posts later, I think it is time to pack it all up... in a nice book and offer it to all the readers that want to have a whole blog at their disposal, at any time. After several days of really hard work, I finally managed to convert the whole blog to an e-book. It is 440 pages of blogging information. All … [Read more...]
I started a new project yesterday. It kinda happened spontaneously. I wanted to write about it a long time ago. I already had a site on the same topic. I am a trainer. I am fit as I've ever been and I know a lot of my friends need motivation and help. So I started the Fit Chick Café. Let's see how it all happened and what is to become of it... Old fitness site(s) I already had a … [Read more...]
I've been using and recommending Site Build It! for as long as I can remember and the main reason is that building a successful business was always easy with them. Heck, I built my first site with them before even knowing what HTML was. However, there have been many discussions over what is better - a website or a blog.

This week I have two related posts for you. Both are revolving around the same subject and that is what NOT to do while trying to make it as a blogger. I was reading a post on a blog and wanted to vote for it on Blog Engage. I click the voting button and, as you know, get BE to open in another tab. So I voted for the post and all in all, it took about 10 seconds to do it. And there I see a chat … [Read more...]
How often are you commenting on blogs? I took a little break last few weeks, because I was too busy, but I am back to blog hopping as much as I can. So I noticed stuff that I don't really like. And I want to make just a few observations and see what you think about it. Commenting systems Most bloggers don't recommend using commenting systems like Disqus and Livefyre. People need to register for … [Read more...]
Let's Laugh At Some Dumb Blog Comment Spam
Time to have some laughs at all the blog comment spam I receive here. I don't receive that many though, since I am using GASP as spam protection. It is by far the best spam killer I know of. Akismet is definitely way behind it. All images are clickable so you can see what they actually say. Let's hit it Wow, I would not know that about Paper.li, if you didn't tell me.
