If you’re out today shopping and facing the “black Friday” crowd, all the best to you; however, if you wait, apparently come Monday you’ll be able to find a ton of even better bargains online. (more…)

This morning while participating over at ForumFinder [40,466 Alexa traffic rank], my eye was caught by a particular post at U-G-H [108,508 Alexa].

The post itself, One Step Closer to the Living Room YouTube Goes Widescreen is not only interesting in terms of YouTube, (can you guess what YouTube is up to now? LOL), but in the formatting – the WAY – in which the post is constructed.

And it’s done brilliantly! (more…)

It seems a bit odd writing this post because as you read it, you’re already “doing it.” And, if you take the time to comment, you’ll even be putting it into practice (and getting some free marketing all at the same time).

Social media is huge, and blogging is one of the fundamental layers to using social media marketing to your advantage.

Being a blog reader – and again, commenting – also makes you a strategic part of the whole web 2.0 marketing hubbub. (Keep reading to get the stats AND find out what new “toy” is available online… for free!) (more…)

In order to properly review anything, you must first read and apply what you’ve read in order to give your review the proper perspective. My reason for opening this post in this fashion is simple… There are many times when we really and truly doubt that all the great claims to fame given in testimonials are true. Also, if a product launches and there are a ration of people offering “get this from me and I’ll give you this and this and this” it does (more often than not) make us suspect. We ask ourselves, “Did they really have the time to delve into the product before slamming it out there to their lists, visitors, etc.?” We may never know…

However, we did purchase Atomic Blogging 2. In fact, we purchased it just about a week ago on Feburary 29th. We then read the entire 140 pages – even though areas we are already familiar with – download when applicable, and applied (and are still applying) what this large volume offers.

In a nutshell, Alvin Phan has done a tremendous job covering a broad spectrum of efficiently and effectively using blogging to make money online. Even if you are not interested in the money aspect, the wealth of information on properly setting up the basics and then adding in the icing is superb.

If you are totally new to blogging, you’ll be exceptionally pleased. If you are a veteran, you’ll enjoy the benefits of this ebook by making use of either 1) applying all his strategies or the ones you are missing or 2) find bigger and better ways to grow your blog. Atomic Blogging is for everyone.

We consider ourselves fairly knowledgeable when it comes to blogs. Sure each template has its quirks, but the overall (and more specific) tools and ideas we know about and use. However, we have made many strategic changes to our format based on Alvin’s recommendations. We’ve downloaded, installed, and are applying several plug ins we were not using (and in a case or two not aware of) to enhance the strategic marketing of this blog. (If you don’t know what “plugins” are don’t worry, Alvin really does a great job covering everything you need to know.)

The meaty stuff is shown (step by step in most cases) throughout the book, but page 107 starts what Alvin writes as the:

“… real secret in the Atomic Blogging system is here in this last chapter.”

(This section runs from page 107 to page 136 so it’s not one of those “fluff” chapters.)

Suffice to say that at just $47, your purchase of Atomic Blogging 2 is sure to be a “keeper” in your online marketing arsenal.

Enjoy!
