Gary — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:16:05 +0000

Here are a few tips to help you write titles and articles for content on your website or blog: 1. Write a title that’s a “grabber,” and that contains your keyword(s). A good title will catch the reader’s attention and contain — preferably as the first words in the title — the keywords you wish [...]

Question for bloggers: How much research do you do for a post?

Gary — Wed, 26 May 2010 13:45:24 +0000

This question is aimed at bloggers, but certainly I would appreciate comments from any of you who do online writing of any sort: How much research do you do for a post on your blog? Your answer may range from none to hours. Or you may immediately think, “Research? For a blog post? What’s research??” [...]

Do you blog? Would you like to? Here are some ideas to get you started

Gary — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 17:49:37 +0000

I have a question for all you bloggers out there: How do you decide what you’re going to write about? I’ve known many people in the last few years who have started blogging. Many of them really don’t know what they want to write about, but they’ve decided it would be a good thing to [...]

When is a blog not a blog? Is a blog the same as a website?

Gary — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:59:51 +0000

The questions I’ve asked in the title to this blog post are not rhetorical. They are real questions an online pal of mine asked me recently. This person, who is very shy so I won’t give away any personal information, has been doing affiliate marketing and writing copy for “non-blogging” websites for a number of [...]

Any of you writers using netbooks? Any you’d recommend?

Gary — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:50:02 +0000

I’ve come into a tiny bit of extra money recently and I’m about to take the plunge and buy a “netbook,” a strange breed of writing tools that didn’t even exist a few years ago. Netbooks, as probably everyone be me already knows, are extra-small, extra-light laptop computers. They generally have enough bells and whistles [...]

Tip about blogging: Don’t sp*m comments; most blogs ‘nofollow’ comments

Gary — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:38:21 +0000

Here’s a little tip for bloggers, mostly for those who post comments on blogs; SPECIFICALLY for those of you who try to sp*m this and other blogs with idiotic comments just to get a link back to your money-making scheme or cr*p-filled website. Don’t waste your time: Most blogs run on WordPress software, which automatically [...]

Have I mentioned ‘The Keyword Academy’ for making money writing online?

Gary — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:47:07 +0000

It occurs to me that I may never have mentioned The Keyword Academy to my faithful followers here as a terrific site to learn about making money by writing website and blog content. (You’ll find the same link in that last sentence that you’ll find at the top of the right-hand column [sidebar] of each [...]

Internet blurs line between written word, video

Gary — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:43:51 +0000

I’m discovering daily at how the Internet continues to “blur” the line between plain written words and video, in everything from off line publications to online design and content of websites. Many years ago I had a position as news editor for a large (circulation approximately 250,000) weekly religious magazine. The magazine was an official [...]

How are ‘smartphones’ changing your life as a writer?

Gary — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 18:27:23 +0000

How are “smartphones” changing your life as a writer? Or are they? I confess that I’m sort of a “Luddite” when it comes to cutting edge high-tech (if you’ve been around here often, you probably already figured that out), partly by nature and mostly because of budgetary constraints, should we say? I have a nearly [...]

Ho Ho Ho — How about some sp*m for the holidays?

Gary — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:52:01 +0000

I’ve been doing this blog for several years now. Sometimes, I confess, I don’t get around as often as I’d like, and I haven’t that much to say related directly to writing and writing tips. Then sometimes, when I come here, I see all sorts of “housekeeping” issues to deal with — and it seems [...]
