SimplyBlog is Powered By Thesis Theme

by Miguel Wickert

in Affiliate, Wordpress

Let’s get to it. NO, Thesis Theme isn’t for everybody. If you’re only interested in blogging or growing your business without having to worry about the design details than you’re expecting me to say… go elsewhere.

Rockable Personal Branding (Review)

by Miguel Wickert

in 31 Days to Building a Better Blog, Personal Branding

If you’ve ever wanted a balanced, structured outline on taking your blog to another level, this post may be for you. Building a better blog doesn’t happen overnight. I recommend 31 Days BBB, especially to those new bloggers and folks that need structure and community support to get going in the right direction.

31 Days to Building a Better Blog (BBB) was a smashing success. A thorough month of practical blogging tips, plenty of takeaways (intended to become part of your daily routine) and measurable results. Completing the remaining steps is on my “to do list” while school continues to zap my mind and time. Learning another language is both demanding and exciting.

In between classes, driving and while even running, I try to think of topics to write on and bloggers to dialogue with (directly and indirectly). I find ideas by listening (and reading) to the questions people ask and topics they discuss at coffee shops, on Twitter or even in blog comment sections. Why? We have to know the questions before we can present a possible answer; look to answer their questions, if you’re still struggling with this task, try to recall and record your questions and hardships when you first started blogging, freelancing and using social media tools. This should give you fresh ideas to write about. Always be aware of your surroundings. A rule I live by.
