They are: Concept… character… theme… story structure… scene execution… writing voice. The Secret to Breaking into the Business You don’t need to write like John Updike or Joyce Carol Oates, and you don’t need concepts that make you think of Dan Brown. A killer, totally cool concept. That’s as true as gravity, death and taxes.

Digital flipbooks are still a relatively novel concept, especially in the blogosphere. Readers have shown that they enjoy the medium, but thus far digital flipbooks haven’t yet reached their full potential as a means for bloggers to interest their audiences. They’re also a great way to wow business clients with your portfolio.

Bloggers, business owners, authorities and other providers are making absolute statements, as if their advice applies to everyone, everywhere – without verifying the truth. And I’m living proof of this concept. But that’s not what’s happening. That’s just irresponsible. Did you use some from that bottle I gave you earlier?

Should bloggers start charging for content? So here are a few of the things we can do, as bloggers, to address this issue – and many more issues we all face together. Don’t turn your back on the name necessarily, but stop thinking of yourself as a blogger. I also asked readers what we should do about this situation.

I even heard from a blogger the other day that he would never guest post on a blog unrelated to his own because it wouldn’t get him any traffic and that it was a waste of effort. See, if you’re a writer, a blogger or an online business owner, you need to connect with the community. What a twit. Powered by frugal

If my client can’t convince that CEO that he really is successful, how difficult do you think it will be to sell that CEO on the concept that my client has something he doesn’t already have? My client says to the world, “I know a secret to success that you don’t have, and if you pay me some money, I’ll teach it to you.”

Lessons from Lady Gaga and Luke Skywalker Reply Daniel Rose ( @outsiderabbit ) August 28, 2010 at 11:32 pm I agree with this concept, but there are some areas where care needs to be taken.

I can’t think of another word that works nearly so well to create a total understanding of that concept and I’ll be darned if I’m going to leave all the rockin’ words for the dudes. Mine, by the way, are brass. James’, I’m pretty sure, are titanium. I think we’ve all arrived at a very special place.

But for bloggers or singers or artists who have digital material, there’s no control. They had no concept of the person writing. His work and creative career stirred my curiosity.
