Promise Yourself. A Blog Mindset

Posted by Mark Ayers on Dec 30, 2008 in Blog, Blog marketing, Blogging, Optimist International, The Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself —

  • To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
  • To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
  • To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
  • To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
  • To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
  • To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
  • To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
  • To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
  • To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
  • To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble

The Optimist Creed from Optimist International. Who adapted these words from the late Christian D. Larson

51 Websites for Free Publicity for your Blog

Posted by Mark Ayers on Dec 25, 2008 in Blog, Free Press Release Sites

You can thank twitter for this post tonight, and thank twitter for delaying the post I had planed for you. But not to worry, I will not wait long to get to my original post idea.

Have you ever listened to a song and right away you knew from the first time you heard it you would like it and maybe even remember where you were when you heard it? That was the case when I heard Smooth by Santana with Rob Thomas. I was in TN on business at the time and the guy who was my boss had it playing on his laptop. I have never tired of hearing it.

So what does that have to do with this post and Twitter you ask? Tonight when I got back home from dinner and checked my email,  in it was a note from Twitter that Marlon J. Broussard from 10arrowsConsulting.com was following me. So I clicked the link to see who this guy is and when I went to his blog it was like being back in TN and listening to Smooth for the very first time.

What I mean by that is Marlon had a post up that read “50 Web sites for getting free publicity for your business” (I replaced business with blog in my mind) He had my attention at that point and so I decided to read what Marlon had to say. What I found is a guy who is authentic, genuine and serious about bringing value to the people who he interacts with. He even gives you tips on how to save a ton of money by studying what the pros are doing. And his writing style makes for great content ( a hint on what I will be writing about in a couple days) and I am a fan of his already.

So do yourself a favor and check out Marlin’s post. I think you will be glad you did. If you do not want to do the work yourself for only $47.00 he will take care of it for you.  Just so you know, I am not an affiliate, I just really like this guy’s style and think you will do good by going to his blog.

Psssst: I will add one more site for your consideration for free publicity as a bonus: http://www.italkblog.com leave a comment and you will have a PR-0 blog with your link on it, however iTalkBlog.com will not always be a PR-0, stick around and see for yourself.

You can watch Smooth on youtube here.
