Slacker paradise. (:<<BR/><BR/>About going outside your comfort zone - I know exactly how you feel. I think it's absolutely essential for getting better at what we do. -jJohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13613498851194504637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29591761.post-20229075394982959572007-03-07T05:57:00.000-08:002007-03-07T05:57:00.000-08:00John, you have blown my mind. A site dedicated to helping bloggers blog better/increase revenue is the LAST place I expected to be mentioned. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed my post. I especially appreciate it because I went a bit outside my comfort zone in writing it. The affirmation is encouraging.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much!<BR/><BR/>Your faithful reader, TKTwo Kniveswww.twoknives.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29591761.post-85856723305668423722007-03-06T15:00:00.000-08:002007-03-06T15:00:00.000-08:00Yo Av: You are forgiven, sir.

The fact is, "While a wise/useful comment will earn potential readers for your blog, a comment full of self-promotion tricks will make you look bad. And if the blogmaster is like me, he'll surely delete such tricky comments." <BR/><BR/>Blog readers need to understand this fact. They waste their time leaving a wrong comment.Avinashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03395093470459611542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29591761.post-38111516767021676222007-03-06T14:45:00.000-08:002007-03-06T14:45:00.000-08:00Hey Liz,<BR/><BR/>That's a good point, thank you. When we turn our noses up at someone directly promoting themselves, is it because of the act itself, or because they give us no reason to care? -jJohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13613498851194504637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29591761.post-45467329599610521812007-03-06T14:35:00.000-08:002007-03-06T14:35:00.000-08:00One blogger did a great job of nominating her own blog. She wrote about why I would want to read it with as much passion as she blogs. <BR/><BR/>The key to self-promotion is being fully-expressed as a person in what you do. Then, when you talk about what you do, you're not selling, you're talking about your service etc. like you might tell a friend about anything that gets you jazzed. <BR/><BR/>It's the self-consciousness of self-promotion that makes that anyone with any sensitivity want to shoot themselves rather than watch. OK so I exaggerate. In editorial, we used to call that humor. :)<BR/>LizME Strausshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.com
