Re: How to Use StumbleUpon to Promote

Jeremy Day — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:19:30 -0000

Hi David,

This is a great site. I found you from Problogger. I am checking out a lot of your articles. As a fairly active user of SU I found this interesting. I think its spot on except for one thing....

You didn't really say anything about subscribing to favorites. This is one of the most important parts of the SU experience. When I go to my home page I see the stuff of people I have subscribed to that they have fav'd in the past couple of hours. I surf those sites and I rarely use the Stumble button.

The more active users all use subscribe to favorites a lot. This can't be underestimated. They are the ones you want finding your site because its more viral. They are the ones that get it voted high enough to gain traction and for SU to start loading that article in the random Stumble mix.

Food for thought...

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: When Nerds Attack

Hi David,

Everyone's got an opinion. Chrome is supposedly less of a memory hog, but I like to open multiple tabs at once. Chrome doesn't seem to handle this as well as firefox. But Im only one user and have only one experience. ;-)

Anyhow, these are entertaining to read. Not sure you have done so already but I would be interested in reading articles about how you deal with these situations.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: Too Many Blogs Out There Already? Why Even Try?

Hi David,

As a self-proclaimed self-improvement guru ;-) I love reading this stuff. Stop making excuses and get to work! Thats about the best key to success in life you can have. All other advice I give comes after you get started on the thing you want to accomplish. Good stuff. Enough reading for now... Im subscribing.

Cheers,
Jeremy

p.s. let me know if there is anything I can do to help make your site a bigger success...

Hi David,

It's an idea like this that helped make that one guy a million dollars by selling a million pixels on his website. Anything creative and different attracts attention. I think it is pretty cool.

Re: The Problem with The Pareto Principle

Jeremy Day — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:47:59 -0000

Hi Ali,

I think the Pareto Principle is a just a good idea taken too far. And it should only apply to the macro level rather than the micro level. Great way to put it all together Ali!

Jeremy

Re: Mental Bias - Would You Like Fries With Your Warm Fuzzy Platitudes?

Jeremy Day — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 12:40:10 -0000

This is a really good article Ali. Ive heard of many of these things before, but they are always a good reminder.

But like Billionaire Woman said, I just recently have had a number of coincidences happen that I can't deny. Maybe my brain is just trying to seek out things in the environment that will confirm a decision I have been trying to make for years.

Lest we forget, many grand life changing and history changing decisions have been made with these biases. Both good and bad.

While it is wise to watch out for biases that will steer us in the wrong direction I also believe that, with the right mindset, self fulfilling prophecies can, and should, come true.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Steve,

I'd say that if your wife is 100% with you than you should go for it. I am considering a similar move. Good luck whatever you decide!

Re: Suck On This John Chow, My Blog Made $45,000 Last Month!

Jeremy Day — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 23:57:41 -0000

No bad, not bad. Overall, I think you provide a lot more worth and value on this site. I think its wise to generate income from places besides advertising because who knows if advertising models will change again in the future.

Re: Self-Employment: One Selfish Way to Financial Independence

Jeremy Day — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 11:52:19 -0000

Hi Nathalie,

Great post. I love it when I find other people encouraging people to be entrepreneurs. That is one of the main things that made this country great and I think we have lost some of that. I do look forward to reading more.

Re: How I turned a $400 investment into $4,000 in a few hours

Jeremy Day — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:00:45 -0000

Hi Nathalie,

Another great post. Surprised there are not more comments on this. I am curious to know what sites are making you money.
Also, I think if you stop reading and just start doing, you will be that much closer to your goal.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: Are you interested in a lot of different things, but not sure what exactly you want to do about your career?

Jeremy Day — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 12:37:30 -0000

Hi,

Great article and website. I must say this is one of the few blogs that I was impressed by right away. I will be subscribing.

Also, seems we have similar interests and a similar desire to help people. Hopefully we can work together in the future...

Sincerely,
Jeremy

Re: Your relationship with your parents have a lot to do with your career success

Jeremy Day — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 18:40:41 -0000

Hi,

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I have always had problems making decisions. Although my parents are partly the cause I can not come close to blaming them entirely.

My personality has a lot to do with it too. But ones always needs to remember to never under-estimate the power our past and upbringing have on us. There really is something to it. This is a good helpful article.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi John and JK,

This was a very insightful article. I love following comments around and around. It's funny to see comments on here from Allyn who I found out about on Garry Conn's website. This is a really tight knit community. The great thing I think is that we can all grow together.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: P.S.: Don’t Forget to Include This in Your Copy

Jeremy Day — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 21:40:06 -0000

Hi Michel,

Great post and I agree wholeheartedly. I have used this for both personal and business writing and it works wonders. With all the emails and letters we get for advertising in the mail many of us have turned into "skimmers". The PS is truly a great tool because it really is a second headline opportunity.

Hi Maya,

Good to see you are doing so well. I wanted to say that I really like the thinkmaya framework. Its a great way to start putting things together and build a solid foundation. Kind of wish I would have done something like that when I first started blogging. Keep up the great work and let me know if you need anything.

Cheers,

Re: The Business Idea: MemeTales: Democratize the creation of children’s books

Jeremy Day — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 12:31:03 -0000

Hi Maya,Wow! I didn't know you had these other sites until I looked at your SU profile. I think your business idea is pretty good. And asking for reader feedback is great. I think if you put all the advice together and think about what will really work you will get a great result.My 2 cents......I think finding the correct price point is important as well as studying any competition. I was shopping for kids books the other day for my niece and I was surprised to see how much they cost. I thought kids books were less expensive than the business books I read but they aren't! I ended up buying a book for $10 but most of them were closer to $20.I think Avani has a great point about customization. I think that could be a big hit.If I were you I would charge at least $5 per download and also give parents the chance to buy actual books for a higher price. There are a few companies that specialize in self-publishing now. My friend got her book of poetry made that way.All in all, you have a lot of research to do, but as more people find your site and comment you should be able to tweak it for success. Best of luck to you Maya!Cheers,Jeremy

Hi Clay,

Great site! Found you through the Financial Philosopher. Kind of curious why you have two sites, but I guess I will find out as I read more.
I currently have a fairly unique life with a job that I love and some side income. Who knows if I will ever make the switch to total self-employment, but we will find out soon. Keep up the great work!

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: Make Money Online by Not Starting A Blog About Making Money Online

Jeremy Day — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:21:37 -0000

Hi Garry,

I think the make money online niche just gets a ton of exposure because the only people that read it regularly are other bloggers. Sure, some people find it through search engines, but I think most leave as soon as they get there.
Nobody seems to listen to good business advice. I see it everywhere. That advice being find something people are searching for and build a blog about it. Sure, pets, lawns, decorations, etc., and everything else under the sun are boring to most people. But thats the kind of stuff people are buying online. I really like Allyn's site on life and lawns. THAT is the kind of site that will make a lot of money in the long run! I hope more people figure that out so we can find more valuable blogs worth reading.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Re: Using Gmail as Your Universal Email Account

I already do this and it works great! Google has a great spam filter too so it may be worth thinking about doing just for that factor.
