|
|
When I relaunched The Twitter Manual on it’s own landing page, I was asked on Twitter why I used a separate landing page. The question posed by Brent (@function_ality) was:
Why do you setup different url’s instead of putting these on DavidRisley.com site? I never understood this.
He went on to say it dilutes my brand and

The Twitter Manual – Relaunched
|
|
Some time ago, I wrote up a quick, down-and-dirty manual for Twitter. I wrote it as a response to the growing hoards of people who either write it off as a fad or sit there and stare at it with no idea what to do with it.

I am fresh back from the Underground Seminar 6, hosted by Yanik Silver in Washington DC. As usual, I have some observations from the event that I thought I’d share.
One might ask… “David, you’re a blogger. Why are you at an internet marketing event and not at SXSW where all the other bloggers are?”

|
|
This is a guest post by Jason Ulsrud, at Forty2Fifty.
I have found myself asking this question a lot lately. Am I providing purpose to the world?
Your blog can effect humanity in one of three ways:
Make the world better
Not change the world at all
Make the world worse
How your blog can make the world a better place

If I Were To Start All Over Again…
|
|
Today, my blogging efforts enjoy a certain bit of inertia. It is easier for me to do things because I have an audience and I have traffic.
What if I didn’t have it? If you take all that I’ve learned over my last 12 years of blogging and told me to start over again from scratch,

Talking About Making Money Online In Order To Make Money Online
|
|
One of the most common confusions any new blogger asks themselves is… What should I blog about in order to make money?
Many of the times, the conclusion ends up as follows: The people making good money online are the ones who talk about making money online.
It leads to a huge catch-22. It leads to skepticism.

Now, I’ll be the first to say that Twitter is just a platform and it is up to YOU how you use it. It isn’t as if there is one way and every other way is wrong.

Are Marketers Ruining Twitter?

There has absolutely been a rapid increase in spam on Twitter lately.

It might go without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway: You don’t actually own your social media profiles. So, don’t depend on them.
