If you are in any sort of business at all (and I am guessing you are if you’re reading this blog) you understand just how important branding can be. Whether it’s a corporate brand such as Nike or a personal brand such as GaryVee, or a even small business brand such as your local clothing boutique… branding is a critical component when it comes to raising awareness about your company and gaining...
Hey BGB’ers! OK, today is the big day! The results of my first ever Blog Carnival, run by Miz Joella at BlogsWithWings and hosted by yours truly. First I want to thank everyone who participated; it was fun to read everyone’s views on monetizing a blog without ticking your readers off and making a general fat mess of it. J We actually got a ton of spam submissions as well, which was extremely...
So, in the spirit of the #customerlove movement started by David and perpetuated by LaVonne and now Holly (And because it’s the Sunday night before Labor Day and Sunday nights such as this are supposed to be fun!) I decided to share 5 things about yours truly (meaning moi for you slow folks that are already getting your holiday weekend party on… 😉 ) that you might not know. (And by...
Often, you’ll find many freelancers are a creative lot. They are drawn to freelancing because the idea of making a living on their own terms appeals, so they can free up more of their time for creative pursuits. I know… I’m a pretty creative chick myself. However, creative doesn’t always do the job of paying the bills. Sure it’s fun to take on that job that challenges your creativity and makes...
Hey BGB’ers… I’m actually writing this post because originally I prepared a great little guide as a giveaway to my newsletter subscribers. (OK fine, let’s call it like it is shall we, it’s a reward. Or a treat. Or a freakin’ cookie, how’s that?) But… it was intended to be sung from the rooftops via pop-up. Any hoo, I scrapped that because I...
It’s come to my attention after my first stint on ProBlogger that I’m NOT the only writer on the planet that likes to write naked and eat lots of ice cream and chocolate. And by write naked I mean fully clothed but like… totally vulnerable and authentic. HA! You thought I really meant naked didn’t you. Dirty. Really though, I’ve decided a writers club is in order. “The Naked Writers Generation...
This is a guest post by James Adams, on just why transparency is such a big “deal” these days, and why it can be good for your business. As someone who strives to be pretty transparent myself, I felt as a BGB reader you’d likely appreciate the post and perhaps even have some insight yourself on how transparency has helped you in your own entrepreneurial journey. If so...
I used to be just like my neighbor. He gets up every day, gets dressed, and goes through the motions of his daily morning routine. Then he grabs his keys and heads out the door, off on his commute to wherever it is in this world he happens to work. You know… his J.O.B. And yes, that is a mild sound of disgust you hear (read?) when I say that! See I used to work a J.O.B. too. A hard and...
OK, maybe not quite like Aerosmith. They’re pretty much Kings of the whole rockin’ it thang. But you can make every day count even when it feels like you can’t. I don’t know about you but I’ve been feeling like “work” is a bit slow lately. I find myself with not as much “vital I need to get this done to get paid shit” and more of the “less vital I need to get this done because I really want to...
