What a BIG question.  Has anyone else thought the same thing in their life?  Is it better to continue doing something just for the sake of it and feel as though you are not putting everything into it or do you give up and feel a failure?  Either way you are not being true to yourself.

I am a student of John Thornhill’s Marketing Masterclass.  I love John’s course, without it I would not be writing this.  With John help, guidance and instruction I have learnt how to create a blog plus all the other ’bits’ that go with the creation of a blog.    The way that John structures his course makes it very easy to learn how to create an internet marketing business.

Everyone has different ideas about what is and what isn’t an effective blogging tip.  We all know that any individual can upload or open a blog online for the world to read and see. However, this may not be as easy as it sounds.

Maintaining a blog in the long run can be a bit difficult, especially if you want to have a successful one. You can actually find blogging platforms for free online and most of the platforms are simple to use. Even a technophobic writer can use such blogging platforms but it is difficult to find qualities like originality, enthusiasm, creativity, patience and spare time.

Many people have tried writing blogs and initially have high passion for blogging but after some time, they neglected their blogs until it finally died. There are only a few bloggers who maintain weekly posts for a large number of subscribers. If you want to know the secrets to maintaining successful blogs for many years, please just read on.

Hi everybody, well hasn’t the last month been busy?  I have been taking part in the 100 Comments Challenge that Jacinta Dean and Steve King (both fellow students of John Thornhill’s Marketing Masterclass) has instigated.  The idea of the challenge is to get 100 people to submit their blog post as part of the challenge, then for all the contributors to go to each of the blogs and leave a comment.  At the end of the challenge (it is running for the month of August), everyone should have at least 100 individual comments on their blog post. To help get the most out of the challenge of receiving and giving blog comments, a few plugins are recommended to be installed.  The plugins help with websites traffic, page ranking as well as keyword rankings.

Do you love getting freebies or finding useful products that don’t cost you an arm and a leg?

This is a blog post by Mike Clough at http://www.bestbizpractices.org I thought it was very interesting, I hope Mike doesn’t mind me ‘re blogging’ his post.

What kind of a question is that? Of course it is a blog. What else could it possibly be? Well, a blog has a completely different function than a website. However, when a blog is used for website functions it looses it value as a blog and in fact becomes just another website.

To better illustrate my point, let’s take a look at the differences between a blog and a website. I will borrow a table from a friend of mine, Tom Pick, who blogs over at Webbiquity:

As I am going through a bit of a ‘downer’ at the moment, suffering from ‘brain freeze’ and losing my motivation to write my eBook, I found these helpful tips to help me and hopefully help you if you ever feel the same way.  They are practical suggestions but they may shift the brain into a more positive thinking pattern:

1. Take Good Care of Yourself

It’s much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For

Stresses and challenges don’t seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.

3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions
