Pro-Blogger Project: Recommended Plugins

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for some time but never got around to it.  After reading about the Top 10 WordPress Plugins on Alvin Phang’s blog recently, I was reminded that I hadn’t completed this yet. One of the main reasons why I love using the wordpress platform is because of the availability [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: Lesson 3

Continuing on with the lessons from BlogMastermind, we’re on to lesson three which is all about RSS, social proof and plugins.  Lesson three is still focused on blog design and structure with the main aims being to optimise it for the search engines and to promote RSS subscriptions.  If you’re not sure what RSS is, [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: Permission to Succeed

Since we parted at the end of lesson two, I’ve been busy working on traffic building with a combination of comment marketing and blog carnival submissions. Submissions to blog carnivals are actually pretty easy. If you already have good content on your blog that you want to promote, then it is simply a matter of [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: WordPress Blogging Software

If there is one thing I learned early on when I began the quest to make a replacement income through blogging, it is that it is essential to have a self-hosted blog using WordPress Blogging Software. Why? Because you can get a lot of widgets with a WordPress Platform that you can’t get with other [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: Update

Firstly, I have to apologise for the lack of updates on my case study.  I’ve been down under for two weeks spending Christmas and New Year with my parents.  Despite being so technology savvy, I don’t know why my Dad never got himself a broadband connection – he’s got everything else…  Even though he does [...]

Pro-blogger Project: Part 3

Okay, so I’m a little behind on this project.  I was supposed to start looking at lesson two at the start of the week, but here I am with week two almost over and I’ve only just re-read lesson two.  Thankfully, lesson two doesn’t involve too much – at least not for me since I’ve [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: Part 2

Progress report for Week One: I wrote 5 blog posts last week: Signing Time Promotes Earlier Speech Development Receiving Adequate Hours of Sleep is Critical for Anyone Under 21 How Effective are Flash Cards in Early Childhood Education? How Much Should Your Toddler be Eating? Precocious Kids Although there isn’t really a write or wrong [...]

Pro-Blogger Project: Part 1

My first step towards becoming a professional blogger is to go through my BlogMastermind lessons again.  This time I’m going to make sure I spend more time studying them and applying them rather than what I did in my first round which was probably more knowledge acquisition rather than action-oriented. The Blog Mastermind program focusses on [...]

Project: Becoming a Pro-Blogger

I’ve decided to start a new project with this blog.  A couple of days back, I read the following excerpt from a newsletter from marketingtips.com and it reminded me so much of me that I felt it was time to do things differently.  Here it is: Dear Derek, I put up my first website a year [...]
