Below you’ll find some more of my thoughts on content creation, as promised in the previous issue, but I’m saving the Pinterest piece I mentioned until the next issue, because I’ve been busy doing something entirely different. Continue reading
Well so much for getting a newsletter out every week. This one’s been 11 days.
I’ve got an excuse though. I’m one of those two finger typists and I sliced one of them open with a carving knife while I was cutting up some fillet steak for the cat. (not his usual food, but after buying it I’d accidentally left it in my car for a day, in the Australian summer heat, when I brought the other groceries into the house)
Have you ever tried 2-finger typing using your middle finger? Slow is not the word for it, especially when there’s a great big bandage in the way.
Now on to the important stuff, words are at a premium today rather than rambling on the way I usually do. Continue reading
Thought I’d try a different day for mailing this out. So instead of Saturday here it is today. And here’s what’s in this issue:
1. Premise lives up to its promise
2. Why you need to improve your content
3. Dumb subscriber abuse
4. A quick mention of something you dont seem to like
I hope you find at least one thing interesting, or useful here. Let me know by commenting. You’ll also get yourself a do-follow link.
ok, let’s get on with it. Continue reading
Because I’m itching to get back into full productivity, and get more done in less time, I bought this book “Blogwise: How to do more with less”, released a just a few days ago.
It’s a look inside the heads of nine successful bloggers including Leo Babauta of Zen Habits fame, Brian Clark from Copyblogger, Darren Rowse from Problogger, and Gretchen Rubin the author of The Happiness Project and a Psychology Today magazine expert.
Blogwise is inspiring and had me scribbling lots of notes in the margins of the copy I printed out. And I should imagine it’s going to do the same for you too.
The added bonus is good. It’s a pdf covering 21 common productivity problems bloggers face, with some quick answers from the interviewed bloggers to get you on the right track.
Well it’s obviously worked for me because here’s the second Letter from Phil in a week instead of the one a year I’ve managed for the past couple of years.
It will probably boost the amount of work that you can do in a week too. Recommended. Continue reading
Ok, I’m coming alive again.
# Getting back in action.
# Feeling the urge to create.
# Feeling the desire to help you with your online business challenges.
I’d write “getting back in the saddle” but that seems to have sexual connotations, so I’d better not breathe a word on that subject here.
Most of all I want to have some fun, and making money out of nothing IS fun. So I’d like to take you along for the ride. Definitely no sexual connotations there, and if you think there is you’ve got a dirtier mind than me.
Note: This section is all about me, rather than about YOU.
Normally when you’re writing stuff get the word ‘you’ in it lots of times. People (you) connect with it much better.
But bear with me. I’m just explaining where things are at, and what I’ll be doing this year to help you achieve your dreams.
Right, back to me. Continue reading
