Here’s a tip for all you bloggers out there: Work more on the content of your blog and less on the appearance of it.
I’ll bet I’m not the only blogger out there who gets so caught up in looking at new blogging “themes” or templates, that I spend a lot of time on the appearance of the site and should instead be working on solid content.

The “Ultimate Key Finder” could be a real problem solver for many of us. Okay, I don’t actually do much affiliate marketing in such a direct manner from this blog, but “The Ultimate Key Finder” is such a nifty little gadget, I had to share it with you. Do with this info what you wish: |

The various developments in publishing technology has changed just about everything for freelance writers.
In a world where consumers would rather enjoy everything from home theatre seating to very wide screen television to home theatre lighting instead of going to traditional theatres to watch movies, we can expect consumers who want their news, fiction, how-to articles/books, etc., NOW — not a day late in traditional newspapers.

Why is it so hard for people to understand affiliate marketing? By “people” in that sentence, I mean affiliate marketers, merchants, and shoppers — pretty much the whole range of consumers. For some reason, what I always thought was pretty simple becomes difficult, sometimes even for the people who are successful (that’s a VERY relative term) affiliate marketers.

I highly recommend that you take a look at this “Audie L. Murphy Memorial Website,” for a full account of this remarkable man.
As a follow-up on my last post, I felt compelled to direct you to a wealth of information about this remarkable man, who was not just one of my personal favorites in movies I saw as a kid, but more importantly was a true American hero. Personally, I am “anti-war” almost to the point of being a pacifist — ALMOST. But you cannot ignore the atrocities of World War II and the gallantry of this incredible man and the role he played in that war.

Have you ever thought about what “day jobs,” i.e., full-time work and/or careers, produce the best conditions for writers?
If you look at best-selling fiction writers, you’ll easily see that several of the most successful novelists are/were lawyers, doctors and others in health care jobs, teachers, and a few journalists.

I’m reading a well-written adventure novel right now by Stephen Hunter and want to share some thoughts about fictionalizing real-life characters. One of the characters he created in the book made me think about the matter.

I’m aware that many of my readers are involved in affiliate marketing — many of them of the product kind, rather than the “information” kind of affiliate marketing. (I hang out at a major forum for folks who market “real” products and merchandise through their affiliate sites, NOT “how to get rich” stuff.) I, like many of them, are working hard right now to put winter behind us and start stocking our “virtual store shelves” with outdoor and home and garden products.

I was reminded again today of the major problem many freelancers face regarding insurance. I’m a case in point, as I probably mentioned before. Although my wife has decent health insurance coverage as part of an early retirement package she took some years back, I do NOT have any health insurance coverage, and because of a little snafu on our part, I cannot get on my wife’s policy.

For those of you who are affiliate marketers — do people understand what you do? How do you explain your business to friends and family?
Those of you who hang around here from time to time know that I’ve been working to create a successful affiliate marketing business in recent years and I write about it here from time to time. And among my affiliate marketing friends, I find that many have given up on trying to explain their business to those who ask about it.

I enjoy reading — and have tried my hand at writing — historical novels. For many years, as those of you know who’ve been around this site much, I fiddled with a couple of novels set in the American West of the 1800s. I’ve not yet finished one, but I have three that I’ve started and tucked away in virtual file cabinets over the years.

I just finished reading a very good novel (in my opinion) that illustrated the value of doing solid research. The writer is Stephen Hunter and the book is “Havana : an Earl Swagger Novel.” If you read adventure/mystery/suspense novels much you may have read it, or at least read others by Hunter involving Earl Swagger and his son, Bob Lee Swagger. (I highly recommend any novel by Stephen Hunter.)
