What Can I Do To Help You With Blogging?
Over the last month I have noticed quite a few new readers here on my blog. This is totally awesome to see. However, with new readers comes new needs. In this article, I want to turn the discussion over to you. I enjoy blogging and enjoy doing what I do. What I can help you with? What would you like me to write about?
From time to time, I like to do these open discussions so that I can get a caliper for what I should or should not be writing about. The purpose of this article is to get to know you (my readers) better. I want to know where you are with blogging, what your goals are and the things that you need help to achieve them.
Drop me a comment and spill the beans. Over the last three weeks, I have received quite a few individual emails with some requests. Now is the time for you to come forward and give me some direction. What do you need help with? This discussion is all for you!
Examples:
- Please talk more about how to make money online.
- Please talk more about how to rank better in search engines.
- Please talk LESS about rants and gossip.
- Please talk LESS about Billy Bob and Suzie Q.
- Please teach more about search engine marketing.
etc.. etc.. etc..
What do you need help with? Drop me a comment and share your thoughts! I am here to help you in the wonderful world of blogging! It is very likely that your requests will turn into future articles here on my blog and I will give you credit and links for the request!

Hmmm, I could use more time in the day.
lol! Well… I can’t help you too much there. I already have time management issues myself. I live in a world that revolves around 24 hours in a day yet my body seems to be suited for one that consists of 36.
I would like to know how to make more money and do less work. Working part time and only making a full time income is getting tough, lol… Just keep doing what you have been doing, I always get something out of everything you write (except maybe those flashback 80’s post).
Tried and true money making advertising. For example, Kontera, Chitika, or whatever. And of course massively increasing traffic techniques.
Hey Mike,
I have to say I am really impressed with all the work you have done with your blog and the methods in which you go about promoting your products. I will be glad to help you. Drop me an email with some more specifics and lets see if I can kill two birds with one stone here. First impressions mean a lot and the first time I visited your blog and then did a little research, I said to myself… “Man, this guy really GETS IT”… it seems like you just need a little “reach around” and someone to help give you a little advice to take things to a higher level.
Totally awesome job with your blog man… and I will be happy to speak with you directly with some ideas on how to make it better.
Best Regards,
Garry Conn
P.S. I am creating a new section on my blogroll that will showcase blogs that I feel are going about things the “Right Way” and your blog will be the first to be listed.
Hi Garry
Here’s your another big fan out of million others…

Secondly nice to read your blog everyday.. we are doing a series for our upcoming event of 200 posts on our blog. Have a look if you have the time in th 25th hour
And feature any of them if you really like them
Thanks

As I am just learning everything I can about PPC it would be great to read more about it.
One of my biggest problems is that all the literature available is strictly focused on the english speaking world, most of the time only focused on the US. (but sadly this point is true for most of the internet marketing information available).
Have you tried using Google translation tools before? I just visited your blog and using Google translation to translate it back to English and I could then read your blog very very well.
I do see where you are coming from… however, with now knowing about the translation tool all in all you are saying that you would like to read more information on advice and support related topics that help you with pay per click programs?
I think I can handle that.
Hi Gary
Love your blog.
I’d like some tips on increasing traffic and maybe a list of top picks for money making advertising. Thank you!
I think the things you’re writing about on your blog are already great Garry, always worth reading since they are useful and interesting.
Specific areas that I know about and would like to learn more would be areas such as traffic building, theme design creation and editing, online income avenues. But I’m sure there’s areas I don’t even know that I don’t know, so please keep your other posts coming too!
Thanks for a great read on a daily basis!
I second David’s comment about making more money by doing less work. Additionally, I’d also like to know:
> the best practices for promoting one’s blog, especially when the blog is new. And I mean something other than submitting to Google and Yahoo. Is submitting my blog to multiple directories recommended or will that bite me somewhere down the road?
> how can I cast a net out to the Web and pull in content on my blog that’s relevant and requires little programming knowledge? I’ve heard of APIs and Yahoo Pipes, but are these right for my blog especially if I’m not a brainiac on code?
@ Cindy,
I got you covered!
@ Zath,
Man.. that is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for the compliment! That is great of you to take the time to express your thoughts and tell me some of the key things that will help you the most!
@ Mark,
Long story short, directories are great! As long as they are “Nice” places for your link. No porn and dirty tricky stuff. Useful directories. An example of a great directory is Joe Ant I have been a member there for over five years now. I do volunteer editing for them when I get a chance. I take a lot of pride in the sites I approve for their directory and I have quite a few of my own sites listed.
Mailing lists are great! Asking your current readers if they would like to join your mailing list is a great way to create repeat visits. Participating in other communities is another way to get traffic. I am registered in the WordPress Support Forums and help new bloggers with their problems. Additionally, I am the moderator for The Next Internet Millionaire Forum. All in all, the time and energy you put forth towards promoting is going to come back to you two fold.
As far as API technology and Yahoo Pipes… My good friend David will be happy to help you with stuff like that. Check out his blog at CyberCoder.net read his posts like you read mine and subscribe to his feed. Drop him an email, etc… he’s a very nice guy and someone really good to be friends with. He knows his stuff.
Together we just started our very own Internet radio talk show called, RadioBlogTalk.com. Be sure to check it out and subscribe to that feed too! Nothing but good stuff for bloggers coming your way!
Garry,
I am looking for a coder to “duplicate” but not copy a golf widget that I would like to offer my readers, jv’s etc…Do you think David could do this? There is one already out there that is nearly exactly to what I want, but I obviously don’t want to steal it.
Looking forward to hearing back.
Mike
Since you asked
I think we’d all like to know as much as you’re willing to share about your InternetAircraftSales.com business model.
I know others are curious but I’ll step up and ask
Internet Aircraft Sales takes the roll of a more traditional advertisement agency. Many of the pages you see on the site are provided free and complimentary. The benefit of providing a free classified ad for an airplane owner is that I can monetize the page with programs such as Google Adsense. These free and complimentary pages can be converted into paid pages and the 3rd party ads are removed so that there is no distraction from the advertisers airplane and information on the page.
With all the various business I do online, Internet Aircraft Sales actually has one of the most simple business models across the board.
I’m new at Blogging and could use many suggestions. I would like to know how to start my own blog.
Also how to make money online, how to rank better in search engines, and about robots, and spiders? In addition, search engine marketing. My site is new and any help or suggestions are appreciated.
