Blogging Tips

So this week, an email subscriber asked me this exact question. And I’ll be honest with you – after everything Google has pulled with these updates, I caught myself asking the same thing. Late at night, staring at my traffic graphs, wondering if I’d been wasting my time all these years. O_O Should I jack it all in and go back to corporate? Is it even worth the effort anymore? But here’s where I landed, and I mean this: absolutely, blogging is still worth it. What’s changed is the definition…

Hi there, If you are like me when I started, trying to figure out all the ‘admin’ you need to do before you actually start your business might actually put you off starting entirely! Bank accounts, tax, legal compliance! O_OMost online business owners think about legal compliance the same way they think about going to the dentist. They know they should, they keep meaning to, and they assume they’ll deal with it before anything goes wrong.The problem is that legal blind spots don’t announce…

I met a friend today for a walk. She said: “I still haven’t had time to set up a blog… but I really need to make extra money.” And honestly… That’s where most people get stuck. Not because they don’t want it, but it feels like too much to start. So I said something simple. Don’t start a blog. Write a newsletter. You can set the blog up later.
