Thoughts on Getting More Blog Traffic

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008
  1. Convince people to link to you by a) making viral content (something crazy that they just HAVE to show someone) b) post content that blatantly helps ME be better c) friendship d) force.
  2. Post helpful comments on other people’s blogs. Leave behind a link to your site. Everybody wins.
  3. List your blog on every massive blog list you can find.
  4. Make a list of your nerds friends. Ask each one for their opinion on your site. They’ll bookmark you in their “Friends” folder, at a minimum, and revisit when they’re lonely. Don’t expect honest criticism, but if you get it cool. When they make a friends or links page for their own nerd website, try to get on it.
  5. Post post post. Then post again. Expose the &*%$ out of yourself. If you’re honest people will start trusting you and loyalty can’t be bad.
  6. Have a stack of business cards ready at your next pool party.

Everything worth having takes time and blog hits are no different.  So, uh, bookmark this and come back when you’re lonely, or whenever. :)   Good luck!

Unjustified mental obstacles

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Learn Powerpoint. It is easy. Or learn something else. I don’t care. Everything is learnable, or else people wouldn’t be able to learn it. That reality is less clear than you might think.

Sometimes there is a higher barrier to entry, time, but this is rare. Got time? Then you’re back to not having barriers again.

If you’re alive you may as well do something. Join the rest of us who are fighting laziness to the death.

An idle mind is the devil’s workshop. At least with a busy mind you have a chance.

It is impossible to sit and do nothing and be having fun. The mind starts up in the wrong direction every time. You’ll be too busy to realize you’re having fun when you are.

Fun is what we notice looking back. It’s not worth looking back on an hour. But looking back on a month is great.

Learn Powerpoint.
