Five Ways to Tell You Need a Blog Consultant
It happens all too easily: we’re just too close to our own shit. We thrash around in our own mud puddle like we’re drowning in a bottomless swamp. We get caught in endlessly repeating closed loops of thought we can’t break out of alone. We need an extra brain. Somone who’s “been there, done that.” You are…
Two Worlds, New Worlds
Thousands of people are losing their jobs, and they don’t have the faintest idea how they’re going to get by.

What’s the Difference between Blog Coaching and Blog Consulting?
My business has changed over time. When I first started, I regarded what I did as blog consulting. I used the word consulting as a catch-all to describe a range of work. I did blog design, installation, maintenance, and other tasks. Part of that was advising people. That was the part I loved. Yes, I…

Who is Your Blogging Mentor?
In the movies, at the part where things are the toughest and the heroine is just about ready to give up, she does not have a meltdown and check out for an extended mental vacation. Nor does she sit down and stuff Doritos into her face until the Bad Things go away. No. She grits…
The Recession Post
It had to happen. Yes, it’s the inevitable post about the recession and the economy and business and ZOMG what WILL we ever do? I’ve seen a lot of marketers lately preying on your fears that you will lose what you’ve worked so hard to build if the economy worsens. To help you get some…

We all need a little help one in a while. Sometimes we have questions and we’re tired of not getting anywhere with search.

Time is Running Out – Possibly Only 1 Client Spot Left
The other day I announced I am pulling my design and installation services off the market in order to focus on some new and exciting projects. To give those who were interested but hadn’t yet committed to hiring me a last chance, I offered a grace period: I’ll take 3 more clients only until the…
Hiring Help for Your Blog – Why a Generalist is the Way to Go
Jack of all trades, master of none: we’re all familiar with that one. Guess what? It’s bullshit. Yes, there are people who know way more about CSS and SEO than me, but I still know more about them than 99% of the population, and so far, that’s been plenty good enough. The Problem with Specialists…

An Internet Marketer, a Marketing Professional, and a Blog Consultant Walk into a Bar
They’re the only guys in a bar on a Sunday morning. The bartender tries to make some conversation with them. He asks the Internet marketer what he does for a living.

How to Add a Blog to a Web Site
Adding a blog to a website isn’t as easy as you might think. If you’re not a web designer, you don’t even know where to begin. I wrote this original article to help with that, but over time it’s become clear there needs to be more. In all the work I’ve done with my blog…
No Longer Available: Blog Wrangler Package
UPDATE: it was a worthy experiment, but it seems there’s not enough interest in this thing to keep it alive. Many people are either too busy or are not technical enough to perform the regular tasks required to maintain a blog beyond writing posts. The Blog Wrangler is a combined maintenance, backup, and traffic analysis…
Blogs Don’t Fix Problems
I was approached by a prospective client recently for help with their blog. Problem was, their problem wasn’t their blog — it was their sales process and their products & services. They were getting hurt on price because they couldn’t reach the decision-makers until their message had already been weakened by gatekeepers so that it…
