Where To Go When The Posts Run Dry

This article is guest posted by StandOutBlogger.

Everyone has those times when blogging just seems to get so much harder. The posts are not coming as easily as they used too, in fact they are not really coming at all. You just seem to have no inspiration at all.

I know exactly what this feels like. You will be going along fine, getting blog post ideas from the most random situations - they just seem to come out of nowher, and you don’t even have to worry about where the next post will come from, cause you have so many ideas. Then suddenly it all comes to a grinding halt. The well of inspiration dries up and you are left with a blog that is slowly dying away.

Ok, maybe a bit too much over dramatization but here are 5 ways to break your blogging drought.

I Don’t Wanna Grow Up

For those who still don’t know yet - I’m already 15. Wow! I’ve grown 2 years older since I started this blog - man, it’s a breathless ride!

Like last year, I celebrated my birthday with a contest. Instead of you giving me gifts, it’s me who’s giving back. But my close friend Charles, who is doing the sponsored reviews for me didn’t pass up the chance to give something - he sent me this cool tee from SnorgTees…

Fits like a charm! Thanks again Charles. I think the ball blends well with the shirt so I snugged it beside me, heh.

Of course, I’m always open for gifts. If you are feeling generous too, contact me and I’ll give you the details you need ;-)

How I’ve Improved My Life By Creating 3 Simple Habits

This article is guest posted by James Blogger.

I define thought habits, a.k.a. mental habits, as being thought trails that you regularly (as in habitually) travel down. An example of a thought habit you might have may be accidentally leaving it too late to indicate while driving, or interrupting others’ conversations. Annoying thought habits can be accidentally developed through our lives, but we can also purposefully develop habits that can benefit us and improve our lives.

In these past few months, I’ve concentrated on building up three major thought habits:

1. I have as much right as everybody else

I used to be a pushover. Not in your regular, considerate way, but more your “oh, it’s ok if my living is somehow harming you; I’ll just go kill myself” way. Believe me, it was not a great way to be. So I started to consciously continually follow three simple steps in my life to…

Your Blog And Your Brand

This article is guest posted by Melvin.

I know many people are blogging for the sake of money. But many people are blogging too just for the sake of sharing what they want to. In short, they do blogging because this already a part of them, a part of you. But it’s really sad how people forget to brand their blog. Many people just put up a blog, get a free theme, make posts and publish. They don’t care if their template is the same with someone or they’re blog is not unique. This is the truth that people should understand. Blogs represent themselves and every part of it is all about you, yes YOU!

That’s why Carl ordered a custom theme and logo. It’s about how you will make yourself stand out from others. It’s not really about making your’s making better than theirs but its more of being unique. People…

Are Domain Names Still A Money Maker?

This article is guest posted by Christopher Johnson.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is a bit more complicated. Used to be, you could just register any old name and someone would come along and buy it from you for ridiculous amounts of money, especially if you were squatting on a copy written domain name. But that was before. Now they have laws that protect intellectual property from being used like that, and many of the good names have been taken. So what to do? Here are some useful ideas and tips on how to monetize your domain portfolio:

1. First thing’s first.

Choose your domain name. This should be done by researching a niche market, and finding a name that is either still available, or about to expire, be careful to check that the name isn’t copy written first. i say niche market, and many of you are probably going,…

Making One Hundred Dollars A Day As An Affiliate Marketer

This article is guest posted by Scott Riefler.

Maybe the idea of making one hundred dollars a day appeals to you if you’re nine to five it every day. Makes me think about all the people taking that morning train from Hoboken to New York for the daily grind and then back home again on the path. Does the idea of not having to work like a dog appeal do you?

I started internet marketing about ten years ago selling an eBook I bought online with resale rights. I would send out thousands of emails every night and watch my hit counter slowly move on my mini site. If I wanted more traffic, I would send out more emails until my ESP shut me down for spam mailing. These were leads I paid good money for but, these emails were considered spam.

Today, affiliate marketing has evolved. Now the tools of internet affiliate…
