Added for You - Ten Reasons to Continue Blogging
In studies conducted by Motivational Systems of West Orange, New Jersey, researchers found that 72% of the 12,000 participants reported that, in first time meetings, non-verbal communication carried significantly more weight than a verbal message (words). Only 6% of the respondents paid the slightest attention to what a person said at a first time meeting. This finding parallels Dr. Al Mehrabian’s research at UCLA, who reported that only 7% of a person’s communications effectiveness comes from words, while 38% is made up of tone of voice and 55% from non-verbal communication like eye contact, gestures, body language, dress, facial hair, etc. Ninety three percent of what is effectively communicated is non-verbal.Think about it. Isn’t it true that when you first meet someone

The reason I started writing a blog was down to three people:
Jack Black is a Scottish motivational speaker and I went to see him in Glasgow 2 times in 1995 and again in 1996 and his seminars changed my thinking about my life. When I went the second time I said to my friend ‘That's what I want to do with my life'. I wanted to affect people's life so they would have the power to change themselves, give them the tools so to speak. So 10 years on I have started that dream and I am only in the beginning phase and writing a blog is helping the dream along.
Steve Pavlina Steve was the inspiration for the blog. I found Steve's site by accident and suddenly saw a way of reaching a potentially huge audience. His posts were also inspiring and I found he thought along the same lines as me, which I thought were quite ‘out there', it turned out I wasn't the only one. I then asked myself how I was going to devote time to blogging when I had a full time job, a part time web design business and a family. Steve's site gave some helpful tips.
Darren Rowse - Gave me the logistical information I needed to start up the blog and continue it. His site is chock full of helpful information for any blogger just starting out of for seasoned pro's.
It's been a tough 4 months as I wasn't getting anybody to the site, I was getting around 10-20 visitors per day in the first month which rose to around 50 per day in September, 100 per day in October and to around 200 per day in November. If it keeps going the way it's going I should be reaching my goal of 1000 visitors per day by February 2007.
I also noticed the lack of comments, which frustrated me for a while but when I let the need go they started commenting.
I also concentrated on making money from Google adsense and I have recently let that need go also and the money is starting to trickle in
August - $0.00
September - $5.80
October - $12.74
November - $4.81 (so far)
And about $28 from donations.
Also because of my blog I managed to secure the management of another blog at around $540 per month
So why do I keep going at this blog when there is seemingly so little in it for me? This is a question a lot of bloggers ask themselves and a lot of them give up and stop blogging altogether. I won't give up, I want to be talking about my blog in 2 years time and say ‘this is where my blog took me' like Steve Pavlina or Darren Rowse.
The top 10 reasons:
10) To make some money: admittedly not a lot of money is made unless you've been going for a while and you done all the right things and managed to get a good following.
9) To learn something new - I come across blogs, sites and people who teach me something new and it keeps me updated in the world of the blogosphere and the net itself. I love learning and I am constantly learning when I am blogging.
8) It can land you some extra work - I have managed to secure some extra work managing a blog which provides me with a bit extra money every month and I expect after doing this for a year or more there will be more work in the future.
7) Build connections - having a blog allows you to meet with a whole host of interesting people. It's good to have a group of people who have the same interests. They can often help provide ideas, help with professional services etc.
6) To help your business - If you have a business, blogging can make you seem more human and you can interact with your customers a lot easier and a lot quicker.
5) Establish yourself as an authority on your subject - This is a big reason people start to blog and there are a lot of people out there blogging who are experts in their field and their knowledge can make them a great resource and also build up their following.

Enormous opportunities to capture Customer demographic and behavioral information, are offered on the web channel. This information gathered on the business web site, can be used to improve Customer service.The use of e-services is characterized by a lower degree of anonymity compared to conventional cash transactions, given that it requires the submission of a minimum set of payment data (name, credit card number, shipment address for a physical product).

Since Internet became a sacred and eternal-nowadays tool for mankind, websites are the primary key to make this new world trend structured and stable, with a constant growing pace, at a very fast way, faster than web can imagine! Since several years ago to recent years this cyber market has evolved quite a lot, since the past “brochure sites” to huge portals that sell, promote or even talk to people. Dominican Republic has an importance when talking about tele communications, we have many good things so foreign investors come to settle down here and work from here, and it’s we are strategically located in the very center of the Antillas, a special spot for what is related to communication per se. in recent years government has concentrated on this and has invested on different pr

One of the greatest impediments to meeting someone at a bar and/or club is that they often play loud music which makes it difficult to talk. People also tend to become intoxicated at places like this and might not act like they usually would under different circumstances.If you are out at a bar or club and see someone interesting, what should you do?The first thing to remember is that most people at a bar or club are looking for dates. It is expected that people will approach other people and talk. If you want people to want to talk to you, don’t stay lumped in a small group. A potential suitor will find it intimidating to talk to you in front of a group of your friends.You don’t need to use any cheesy pickup lines or act ridiculous to gain attention. What wo

When you are looking for website hosting, you often consider domain names last. Your website domain name is perhaps on of the most important aspects of your entire website. You could have the flashiest, most professional design on the entire internet, however, without the right domain name all of that will be pointless.Your domain name is your website’s calling card. It is the first thing seen when a person visits your site, it can even be a deciding factor as to rather or not the person will even visit. That is right; a person will decide rather to visit your website or not, based on the website address (domain name).When you go to obtain website hosting, you will need to choose a domain name for your website. This can be done through your host, which is likely to
4) Traffic to your generic sites - By their very nature blogs are updated regularly and therefore have more food for search engines to digest. You can create more traffic to your generic websites as well as interacting directly with your customers.

I know I need to write at least 3000 words per week to keep my blog updated and bringing in regular readers. If you write this much every week for 1 year you will have written around 150,000 words in 1 year. The average number of words per book written is 120,000 - 200,000. So you will, in effect, have written a books worth in 1 year. If you have aspirations of writing a book, blogging is a fantastic discipline to get into.
2) To know yourself - Strange one this but over the last few months I have come to know myself a lot better than before. I have figured out inner resources I didn't know I had. Intellectually and spiritually I have grown. It takes a child to write a blog, it takes a man to continue writing. When you see nobody is reading your blog, nobody is commenting on your blog and you don't even know if anybody has seen it, it takes guts to keep writing those 3000 words per week. Believe me in the dark hours of 5am you will get to know yourself.
1) Passion - At the end of the day you wouldn't continue blogging if you didn't have a passion for what you are writing about. I have a deep passion for giving people the tools to help themselves in their own lives. I know what it's like to have those tools given to you and how long it takes to change; I don't want to be someone who was here in 2006 and gone in 2007. This will be a lifelong quest for me. If you have the passion for what you are blogging about don't give up.
If you build it, they will come!
