'Last week I spent time with a young blogger who was completely stalled with her blog (for the purpose of this post I’ll call her Sally). Sally’s blogging had started with a bang and had put together 3 great months of content and had started to build a readership but then it suddenly all came to a halt. I arranged to catch up for coffee to see what had happened and see if there was a way to get her moving again and she told me a story that I’m sure many readers will find famili

'Fifteen years ago, email was such an exciting concept that it inspired a movie. Millions of people watched Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love in "You''ve Got Mail", and millions more fell in love with their inbox. Today, the romance has faded. We dread our inbox and its overwhelming demands. And yet, more people than ever use email. In 2012, 2.2 billion email users worldwide sent an average of 144 billion messages a day – and more than two-thirds of it spam, according to a Pingdom report.

Direct mail has consistently remained a powerful tool in the marketer's arsenal, but in an age of digital dominance, its effectiveness hinges on the strategic integration of behavioral science. 💡 When you incorporate powerful behavioral science principles into your direct mail marketing strategies, you can prompt the hardwired decision-making shortcuts your audience relies on — and that automatically unlocks new avenues for engagement, conversion, and brand loyalty.

'A few weeks ago I asked readers of ProBlogger to tell us about the fears that they’ve faced and overcome as bloggers. The response was fantastic with some honest sharing – thanks to those who commented – your comments not only helped me prepare for a talk I was giving on the topic at our event but also helped me to overcome a fear I was facing on that very day.

'At PBEVENT last week I was having lunch with a group of 5 bloggers from quite different niches and for a few minutes the conversation centred around the topic of which social media sites send us the most traffic. We went around the circle and shared the top sources of social media traffic for our blogs and it was fascinating to hear how for different blogs and niches the answer changed.

'This is a guest contribution from Ryan Biddulph. “Should I write this post? I do not know. I mean, it will probably go live in 1-2 months. 1-2 months is a long time. Not worth it.”. These thoughts traveled through my mind a few minutes ago. Honestly. Limiting beliefs cripple most bloggers. A select few embrace their limiters, listen closely, tune into their nasty little dialog and do it anyway.

'At our ProBlogger Training Event last Friday I had a great conversation with 3 attendees during a lunch break where we each shared a post on our blogs over the last month that gained more visitors and/or comments than normal. We had to say what the post was about and why we think it ‘worked’ The exercise was fascinating and revealed a few similarities between the posts.

'Several years ago on my photography site I was approached by a company who sold a software product for photographers. They wanted to run a banner ad campaign on my site to promote a new product. Their product was a quality one from a source I trusted and it was relevant to our readers so I sold them a banner ad that would run in the sidebar of my blog for the duration of a month for the cost of $2000.

'This a guest contribution from full time affiliate marketer, Nrupen Masram. Some people think that banner ads are coming to an end. The problem is most of us use banners in way as they were used in 1994-2003. As time passes, the industry changes and so does the use of banners in marketing plans. However, banner advertising is a flourishing billion dollar industry that pervades advertising, teaching, publishing and every other information marketing industry you could name.

'This is a guest contribution by Skellie Wag. Every blog has a design. Whether it’s a beautifully put together custom job, a WordPress theme, a template or something frankensteined together with a vague knowledge of HTML and CSS. Most of us are not web designers, and because of this, the design of our blogs can end up being a thorn in our side. We want to make changes, but don’t know how.
