Jane says
These are valuable … and timely. Having just read this on Savvy Online Business Builder “Did you know: Every minute, 684,500 pieces of content are shared on Facebook, 100,000 tweets are sent on Twitter, and 48 hours worth of new video is uploaded to YouTube.” now I know why it’s so hard to get noticed. It’s impossible to keep up with even the most captivating and interesting blogs. Looks like I now have at least 10 more instructional pieces to try out.

Thanks for connecting Jane! The social media data is very interesting. The key is focusing on what you have that no one else can offer the way you do. Have a great day!

Hi Michael – I’m sorry I’m slow to get over here, but I just want to thank you for including my link in your round up. This is a great resource and I’m thrilled to be included among folks that I admire, such as Michael Hyatt, Jeff Goins, Brian Clark, etc. This is a great resource for anyone working to improve their blogging efforts!
Michael Nichols says
You are welcome. Thanks for connecting!

Bookmarked! I bought #8 on building a better blog some time ago and it made a big difference for me. It is great that there are so many (mostly FREE) resources out there.
Michael Nichols says
Yep – so many unselfish bloggers!

Loved it, Michael. I enjoyed the headline information. I have a good source for headlines but saw some ideas that caught my eye. If you have time, take a quick peek at my new blog I just began the 1st of January and give me some quick feedback. I would sure appreciate it. How long has this blog been up?

Sorry if I wasn’t supposed to leave my blog link. I didn’t make a link so I assume links are off. I apologize.
Michael Nichols says
It seems your link did not show up because you ended it with .con rather than .com. You should be able to edit it.

Thanks, Michael!
Michael Nichols says
Love your tip – write every day. I’ve heard of David Garfinkel’s book, Headlines that Make You Rich, but have not read it. Thanks for the ideas!
Michael Nichols says
Good stuff!
Zach Malott says
Hyatt says if you write daily the blog begins to catch on faster and builds platform quicker. I think it’s fine if you have a plan like blogging a book and can write pertinent posts. That often. I just love to write, even if it does cost me sleep! Lol
Michael Nichols says
I’m the same way – most of the time.
Michael Nichols says
The same is true for me, David. In fact it’s one of the reasons I started this blog. I wrote about it in my post 3 Reasons I Started This Blog – http://www.michaelnichols.org/3-reasons-i-started-a-blog.
