WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

With a weekedn upon us and overbearing news of continues crash of stock market and economy going down the drain I wanted to leave you with a great video I have run into yesterday.

A speech by a man who refused to fall into “expectations” and created multi-billion dollar empire with an idea and passion. Same passion that drives many of us - bloggers, put him into the success realm many of us can only dream of right now.

Art Williams - “Do It” speech to the religious broadcasters.

I just finished reading an article on Yanik Silver’s blog and simply had to spread the message shared within. the video provided below nails the core issue we are seeing day in and day out and one that has a potential of turning this beautiful country into a socialists outpost!

Sorry, I’ve been there and I feel this video is a MUST see!

Do you have a plan? For your blog I mean? Is there an ultimate target you are pursing or are you simply going with the flow? A blog isn’t simply a blog. They vary a lot. Some bloggers target a mailing list to upsell products on the back end, while others intentionally help people to raise their social profile.

Whatever your game or intentions, you need to understand how important it is to have a plan. Sometimes when people go blank on me when I talk about plans I try to use the analogy of a railway and it’s tracks.

I have debated if I should write this post or not for a while… Not only because I offer a product (W2.0W) that is based entirely on WordPress and uses its power but also because I had to actually think about this one, get my own bearings together…

WordPress is GREAT! In my personal opinion it is The Best Web Publishing platform for the masses! …but IS WordPress Right For YOU? Or Better yet, are YOU REALLY ready for the raw power WordPress provides? Let’s see if we can sort this out…

Do you ever feel like you need a make-over design on your blog? You know, the whole deal with all the trimmings? I do right now and spent hours in the past month to find the perfect theme to do it.

I had a clear vision of what I wanted and while I saw several themes that offered parts of that whole picture, it was never exactly what I wanted.

Until…

I found it. Finally.

Task accomplished. Next.

Well, not really, the fun has only just started

A theme make over takes a lot of planning and ideas for it to come out in a satisfactory manner in the end. Admittedly we can just slap on a free theme and leave it at that.

While mulling over ideas to post here for Alex on his WordPress Web 2.0 blog I came across some notes of mine I made a little while back. I was in the middle of updating my Portfolio site and tried to make a good job of it.

While looking at my brainstorming notes I thought why not make a post out of it.

I wanted you guys to see what type of process goes into creating a Portfolio site. This applies to anybody who offers a service of some kind. Whether you are a web designer, a graphic designer or a freelancer, it doesn’t matter.

Pretty loud statement, huh? Obviously this is my personal opinion but I strongly believe I have a right to say that. As a member of [tag-tec]Internet Marketing[/tag-tec] community I’m subscribed to about 30 or more different mailing lists and on daily bases one of my email boxes looks like a parade of headlines. Almost each and every one of them promising me some new guide or tool that supposed to “propel me into riches” within the shortest possible time period.

Granted some of those info products do reveal new ideas or techniques, which will help you if properly implemented and used but is it really worth spending all the money people ask for it? I have purchased several and took action as advised – I made some money in a few case, I learned something in others but I have also discovered that more often then not these products pitch you very same ideas you can learn for free.

After all – what is revelation for one person is simply a daily business for another. While first will try to create a product and sell it to you, second will give it away to help you or to promote something different. And this is how we can take advantage of it.
