A lot of blogging software is specifically designed to be
simple to use, but even the least intimidating blogging
program can feel very overwhelming to somebody who
has not spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs of
different kinds of software. Particularly for newer
bloggers, learning how to use the interface of blogging
software is the most difficult part of blogging. If you are
somebody who feels comfortable expressing themselves
in another medium, it may prove to be well worth your
time and effort to learn blogging software, but that
doesn’t mean that the task will be easy.

The main thing that will help you find success as you
learn how to use a new kind of blogging software is to
try and take things slowly. Many people get so excited
about learning to blog that they try to rush into the thick
of it and start exploring the most complicated features
of a program right away. This can lead to getting
confused and feeling frustrated, and all too many
potential bloggers burn out during this stage of the
process. If you take your time learning the basics of
your blog software program before you move on to
more advanced techniques, you will be more likely to
retain what you have learned, and to keep feeling
positive about your ability to understand the world of
blogging.

I found this article on twitter today while I was trying to figure out what to write about. This got my attention because there are so many self proclaimed gurus trying to get you to buy into their methods, it’s downright scary. This article gives you some ways to know if the person you are dealing with actually knows what she is talking about. Here’s the link to the article: http://darrenhardy.success.com/2010/08/dont-trust-experts/

Hi!  I’m looking for entrepreneurs to interview that have had success with social media. I’m creating an infoproduct about this topic.  I’d like to show case studies of real people that have had success with social networking.   I just get so sick of hearing people say social networking doesn’t work, when I know it works for lots of people.  You don’t have to have made $1,234,567 bucks on twitter or have gained 100,000 subscribers overnight in order to qualify.

If you made one sale or gained one new client as a result of social networking, I would love to interview you.  Just leave a comment if you’d like to participate.  I’d like to have these interviews done by no later than next Monday.  The people that help me with this will get the chance to help promote the product and get a higher commission than regular affiliates will get.

Update:  I have decided to work on this project during the month of June so you still have time to participate.  Leave a comment if interested.
