What Makes a Successful Blogger

Yesterday, I was reading a post on ProBlogger.net titled, “Why Most Bloggers will Fail, No Matter How Hard They Try“. I like the content so much, I sent a link to the post to a young future blogger. After I pressed the send button, I had second thoughts. I was afraid the title would discourage they were going to get discourage. The title gave a dim view of success. Failure was going to happen regardless of how much work is put into the blog.

I thought about rewriting it, but that would not be fair to the author. Then I decided to get out of my bed and put together seven things what I consider will make a blogger, writer, or just any person a success. Continue reading

Content is King

Over the years, I have read and heard different marketing; supposed experts talk about what makes a good website or blog. At one time it was just the right domain name. Then it was SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Now everyone has admitted that it is not the fancy hype that attracts people and keeps them coming back. It is CONTENT!

While on vacation this past summer, we stopped in Baker, Oregon. It was there the local library was having a book sale. As strange as it may sound, my family would rather go to where a library is selling off books than to a parade. Anyway it was at that book sale I picked up a book for 10 cents. It was titled Soft Selling in a Hard World, by Jerry Vass. Continue reading

Shop Cussins Enterprises.com

Today, I want to announce the starting of a shopping cart and product management for all those budding business people who have products and/or service they want to get out on the internet.

I realize some of the greatest ideas don’t have much money behind them. They is why we have created this shopping cart for people to link to on their blog and we the care of the rest for them.

The first group of products are eBooks from Moody Publishing Co., Mozy – online back up, with more to follow.

This is all about helping people getting their passion on the internet and helping them make a couple dollars at the same time.

PBI for The Shopping Nazi

Yesterday I wrote about our plans for 2010.  Today I am going to explain what we are going to do one of our blogs, TheShoppingNazi.com. Businesses in Boise Idaho are going to have a great opportunity to be a part of PBI (Promote by Investment) for TheShoppingNazi.com.

Promoting by Investing is not a new idea. What is new and exciting is how we will be doing it for TheShoppingNazi.

We will be using three power low cost medias. The internet has proven itself as a valuable means for spreading information about almost anything. Direct mail has long been proven as one of the most powerful of marketing tools. It can be used to reach new customers and stay in touch with existing customers. Social networking has become the backbone for many businesses rely on it to stay in touch with their customers.

Give Me Your Passion

One of the things that make the holidays so powerful is emotions. Emotions can be focused into a passion. This passion is what sparks the interest in men, women, and children, alike.

If this passion is held inside oneself, it can become a destructive force. Now take that same passion. Communicate it with others. Motivate other to action, then you have a positive force moving forward.

Some time back I was watching on the History Channel about FDR and the New Deal. It was not an overwhelming success over night. It had a lot of failures, and several restarts. That is the way it is with life. Restarts or a Doug Murren likes to call it, “Second Chances”.

In the coming year, 2010, we are going to be working toward helping people express their passion over the World Wide Web. In helping them express their passion, we expect dramatic positive growth.

The success of that dramatic positive growth will be measured in how that passion is brought to a reality. It is going to take work. We are he to give you the tools, and guide you.

Do you have a passion?

Together Everyone Achieves More

We can only do marginal things on our own. We need each other. Even the greats in history had teams, armies, and countries behind them. How much more do we need people behind us to accomplish our goals. 

Cussins Enterprises brings to the table people. These people working together achieve so much more. You might say we are a TEAM.
