I was recently interviewed by Lynne Klippel host of Women’s Internet Talk Radio – Internet Talk Radio for encouraging, inspiring, and informing Business Women.
Lynne asked me all kinds of great questions about blogsites and my book “Does this blogsite make my wallet look fat“.
You can listen to the interview at Web Sorority Talk Radio.

Twitter is a micro-blogging and social networking service that allows you to post your updates (known as “tweets”) and read other’s updates.
Say that again? Twitter allows you to post mini blog postings (no more than 140 characters) that describes what you are up to. The limit of 140 characters keeps you from telling a huge story and keeps you focused on writing the details only. So you may say something like “Reading the latest Seth Godin book”, “Adding blog posts to my blogsite www.wordpressblogsites.com” or “Getting ready for my appearance on Oprah.”
Why would you want to tweet? Well there are a number of reasons, here are just a few:
- Attract new fans who are twitterites.
- Allow your fans to see what it is you are up to and keep them posted on your new services (yes you can market your products and services on Twitter).
- Google picks up Twitter posts in a matter of minutes and places them in their list! (Hello! You want to be on Google right?!)
- Connect with other Twitters by “following” them (sounds creepy but it just means that their updates will appear on your Twitter page so you can keep up with them).
- You can reply to other Twitters’ posts or ask your own questions and get other’s responses.
Your homework:
- Register for a Twitter account if you don’t have one already www.Twitter.com
- Start adding people to your “Following” list by searching or going to their profile and clicking “follow”. You can “follow” me at http://www.twitter.com/techcoach
- Stay tuned for more Twitter tips!!

You can change the published date for your post to a date in the past or a date in the future.
If you choose to publish your post to a date in the future, your post will not be published or appear on your blog until that day and time. So if you want to write a bunch of blog posts and post-date them then you can take “create blog posts” off your list of things to do for a week or more.
For versions 2.3.3 or earlier:
1) Create your post
2) On the right hand side look for “post time stamp”
3) Change the date and time (optional)
4) Press save/publish
For versions 2.5 or later:
1) Create your post
2) On the right under “publish status”
3) Click edit beside “published on”
4) Change the date and time (optional)
5) Press save/publish

Last week client, Sital Ruparelia, 6 Figure Career Management Coach, sent me this email:
I answered a question on how to increase traffic on blog and just ‘won’ the ‘best answer’. Take a look and see how far the student of the blog coach, is now a teacher himself!
I am already so proud of him for consistently blogging and getting his blogsites to the top of Google’s lists asap! But the article he wrote put smile on my face that made my cheeks hurt! 
Here it is for you to read and enjoy:
Question: How are you taking advantage of your blog?
I’m a fairly new blogger so by no means an expert – but here are some things I do to promote my blog
I use the word ‘promote’ loosely as the emphasis is on offering value and building relationships rather than ‘promoting’ as such.
1. Write interesting, relevant content that is of value (the obvious one).
2. Adding comments of value on other blogs read by my target audience.
3. Answering questions on LinkedIn and other sites similar sites.
4. Writing guest articles and blog posts for other sites and publications.
5. Guest speaking.
6. Post articles with links to relevant articles on other blogs (Google likes this and rewards you with more traffic).
7. Use Word Press as a playtform (Again very google friendly – my content is on Google as soon as I publish a blog post).
8. Review stats to see where traffic comes from, key words used etc.
9. Use some of these key words on future blog posts.
10. Use numbers on titles of articles “10 Tips, 5 steps, 3 ways” etc to encourage people to read.

Last week I was interviewed by friend and client Duncan Brodie. Duncan is putting together a ton of resources for his Goals and Achievements Giveaway.
The focus of the interview was blogsites of course. Duncan asked me a number of questions from what is a blogsite, what are the first few steps to get started with a blogsite, what are some of the common mistakes people make when creating their blogsites and what are the benefits of a blogsite over a traditional site. This interview was recorded and is part of the big giveaway, so if you’d like to hear it be sure to sign up at www.goalsandachievementsgiveaway.co.uk
After the interview, Duncan and I spent some time socializing. We had a great conversation about business building and how most coaches build their business without thinking about their lifestyle. I think many of us, myself included, are guilty of this. We build our businesses and then shove our family, friends and well being into the time and energy that’s left over. Soon enough we either resent our clients, friends or family or they begin to resent us! We may want to consider re-evaluating our businesses annually or semi-annually to ensure that our lifestyle and lifestyle changes still fit our business models.
I believe this is just one of the reasons why Duncan is putting together the “Goals and Achivements Giveaway“. These resources will help you build your business, develop your management skills and your leadership skills. Be sure to visit his blogsite and sign up for the giveaway.
