DISQUS

Travis et al,

I found out that you have to host your own domain to use this cool tool. I am using Typepad for my Internet Real Estate, and this tool won't work with it.

I am going to keep promoting it though,as I feel it is the best list building tool around.

Thank you for my prompt refund, Travis..

Also, Graham in Tech support was totally professional and helpful during this frustrating time.

Great job on this article.
Jim Kukral also had a tip, a while back. He suggested that we should all spice up,our "About" pages, too. He said that we should "tell a story."

Chris, Thank you for linking to that video!
{I write about franchising on the OPEN site, and never even watched Seth's answer to the Social Marketing question. question.

I'd like to respond to Keith's comment, up above.

Keith, Seth is right. Hanging out on Twitter, Facebook and the other Soc. Networking sites can be a huge waste of valuable business time. Sometimes, it does turn into a "I have more FB friends than you," or, "I am getting close to 2,000 followers-WOW!" kind of stuff. And?

We all like to feel that we are doing something constructive as we sit in front of our computer monitors "interacting" with others online.

The real question is whether or not we can connect with enough people who we can start a mutually beneficial relationship with. Even though Chris Brogans philosophy of giving and you shall receive sounds warm and fuzzy, and quite frankly IS warm and fuzzy, at the end of our crazed online days, unless we have something to show for all of this Social Networking stuff we are doing, then it IS a huge waste of time.

Interacting just to interact is an exercise in futility.

Seth is right on the money. What are we doing with our connections?

Because of things like Twitter, there are several people that I could call, and tell them that I will be in town, and need a place to crash, and their answer would be, "no problem, Joel. c'mon over." {I think!}

Robert,
Terrific list!

Here is one:

If you do end up setting up a blog, don't post 5 times, and let it sit. It looks amateurish.

Chris who?

Chuck,
Nice job with a nice idea. I do have a suggestion, and you may have heard it already. What if you make each featured blog a one week gig instead of two?
Joel Libava

Hi Chris,
I am the same way. First of all, I don't NEED as much sleep, anymore. Secondly, I am marketing in my head, and thinking of new stuff 24/7.
Healthy? probably not.
Just looking for that thing, whatever it happens to be, that gets me where I want to go.

Chris,
Nice job with this great little eBook. Thanx for SHARING.
Joel Libava

Chuck,
Just put one foot in front of the other.
This gig will work exactly like it is supposed to...
It will all work out fine.
Joel Libava

Hi Chris,
Thank you pointing out this cool, and hopefully, winning site!
I am very happy that I am involved with it, albeit in a small way, as a guest author.

Chris,
Thank you for the opportunity to get in front of your community. Anything that I can do to get my blog to the next level is positive. Keep up the great, and valueable work, chris.

Hi Scott, I am a fellow Work.com expert, and have something for you to look at that I did. This was not MY idea, but Jon Jantsch's over at DuctTapeMarketing.com

I put together 2 Hub Pages. One for my name, and one for my network of blogs and sites I have created.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Hi John,
I have one of my blogs on WP. I like it, but, as a one man show, Typepad is the way to go...for this blogger.
