Welcome to 2013 and Some Cool New Year's Quotes I see you made it and I’m so glad you are here. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season, got some rest and enjoyed great quality time with your family and friends. As you probably noticed I took part of December off again, just like I did last year. Welcome to 2013 which I know will be a funtastic year. So the $64 thousand dollar question is… Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions? I used to, because it’s the thing to do I guess. So, to spare myself feeling miserable about breaking the promises I made to myself, I don’t make any New Year’s Resolutions anymore. I think the thing about resolutions is that they are too vague. For example, if you say, “I want to lose weight this year”, it’s probably not going to happen.

There’s a big difference behind wishing for something and putting the action behind it to achieve it.

Credibility Starts With Your Name - How to make a blog and a blog income Establishing credibility online, especially if you wish to operate as an internet marketer, has some similarities with the real world. The first thing to think about when launching yourself onto the online world would be your online name. Seems an easy enough concept. But it’s not that straight forward. Let’s have a look at some of the issues here. Calling your company ‘Sexy Girl’ or ‘Hot Stud” will not be the right move if you are hoping to establish a serious business that sells computers, serious books or even green technology. It will take a considerable amount of time to brand those names to make people think of them as representing a serious business. If you want to sell sexy lingerie, or naughty pictures, possibly even pornography then the name would be an advantage and certainly add to the credibility of the business. If you are an avid gardener and want to start up a small business online you might want to go for a name such as Gardening Guru.

20 Loyal Bloggers You Will Want To Know This is my last post of the year. Wow, what a journey this has been too. I contemplated on what to share since my last post of 2011 was pretty epic. I thought about doing a follow up like what still works and what doesn’t type thing but I decided against that. I’ll share with you in my first post of the new year why I decided not to go that route. Most of you who have been visiting my blog for quite some time now already know my story. By March of 2011 I started getting a decent amount of traffic and comments to my blog. I started connecting with a lot of bloggers and really learning from each of them. Paying Tribute to 20 Loyal Bloggers As the nature of the industry goes, a lot of those bloggers that I bonded with early on are no longer around.

I’m truly honored to know then all and be able to call them a friend. Jens P. Dee Ann Rice of Dee Ann Rice
