Thanks a lot for taking the time to check out my blog!
I’ve been making websites for over 10 years now, but this is my first blog I’ve ever created! I remember when blogs were just starting to be popular in the beginning of the millennium, and I always thought to myself…
“Blogs are just websites for people that can’t make websites.”
So, I always had a pretty pessimistic attitude towards blogs despite the fact that I knew thousands of people were making a killing online with their blogs.
But, I was just SO anti-blogging that I could not even bring myself to create a blog! I mean it’s crazy cus I know HTML really well, but I just hated the thought of having a BLOG, period.
Well, thanks to a story I read on the Warrior Forum the other day by Dean Holland, I came to my senses!
Dean explained how he was trying to make money online and nothing ever worked for him UNTIL he talked to Alex Jeffreys at a seminar. Alex simply told him he HAS to get a blog up and running. Dean did just that, and now has a profitable list that’s steadily growing day in day out.
That story really struck me, and I subscribed to Dean’s list to get his blog set-up guide. It really helped me set up my blog the way I want it. Now, I have a theme I think’s cool and my autoresponder widget, my twitter widget, and everything looking slick.
I want to thank Dean for posting that on the Warrior Forum, because it really helped me out. I think one of the biggest deterrents I had about making a blog was getting it all set up the way I wanted.
I mean, I see so many blogs that are just packed with content and widgets all over the place and they just look really cool. So, I was always like “yea, their blog’s cool, but man how did they get it all slick like that? It’s gonna take me forever to get a blog that sweet looking.”
But, Dean’s Blog Set-up Guide is a step-by-step instruction manual that will really help anyone get a blog set up fast. So, I totally recommend it to anyone looking to get theirs set up! Check out his blog here: http://deanholland.com
So now I’ve got my blog set up and I plan to write at least one blog per day, and constantly strive to add value to my readers. And if you read this, leave a comment PLZ! I’ll definitely comment back!
Til next time,
Mark Sullivan
