Use Landing Pages to Highlight Your Best Posts
Could your recipe posts be considered 'piracy'?
Does this sound like you?
You start blogging and post a few favorite recipes. Maybe your smoothie, your oatmeal, your wrap. But pretty soon, those run out, especially if you do most of your cooking from cookbooks. You're cooking tasty, healthy food every night, and you want so badly to share those recipes (that aren't yours) [...]
Ain't No Shame in the Game
Hey guys! Rachel here from Shedding It & Getting It with a little topic I like to call, “Ain't No Shame In the Game.”
Today I’m talking about shameless self-promotion….and how self-promote without being shameless. I know it’s hard, but if you want your blog to succeed, selling yourself is crucial.
HBH has already talked about creating [...]
The simple tweak that spiked my traffic 30%
It's Sunday morning. I wake up, turn on my computer, and start reading a free PDF I've been meaning to get to, called Authority Rules. A few pages into it, I'm so inspired that I immediately implement one of the concepts on my blog No Meat Athlete. A half hour later, I notice that traffic [...]
Why great blog posts deserve D's in English class
Everything they taught us in school about writing is wrong.

I'm as excited about my blog as I have ever been. Readership is growing quickly, incoming links are up, Google searches have spiked, and I'm finding new ways to monetize that search traffic every day. More important than any of that though, I am loving every minute of it. My fun [...]
Two great opportunities
Hey everyone, just a quick post today to let you know about two neat opportunities I found out about in the past few days. One's a bonus offer, open for five more days, on an e-book that I personally own and highly recommend. The other is an affiliate opportunity that I haven't seen on many [...]
What can AdWords do for you?
You know those little text ads that show up on Google searches, webpages, and some blogs? You know, like the ad to the right? (It's just a copy of an ad; in a real one you could click the link.) For a long time, I figured these were expensive and off-limits to everyone except companies [...]
