What is a blog? A Primer for Beginners at Blogging

What is a blog? The question was on thousands of lips in 2004, when blogging was new. Since then, literally hundreds of millions of blogs have hit the Web spanning just about any subject under the sun. And the concept of a blog itself has evolved to become so much more than the plain and simple online diaries they were at the beginning.

So the question "What is a blog?" may well be legitimate all over again - in a whole new way. Let's talk about it.

A blog is an online diary. That's the simplest definition I can think of. And one that I give flippantly whenever someone first asks me "What is a blog?" The last thing you want to do is launch into a technical explanation when the person is merely "casually curious"!

A blogger (which is the fancy name for the person who writes a blog) publishes content through a 'point and click' interface that makes blogging a piece of cake. No tweaking with code or tinkering with scripts any more.

47 HEARTS - You can make it a hot-100 Amazon.com bestseller

It's time...

Time to think about your business' purpose.

Eleven years ago, I did.

I asked myself this:

What would you do for a child in pain, who was ill
and had little chance of being made well without

an expensive surgery?

   What if it were your child?


The answer was simple and glaringly obvious.

You'd do whatever you need to do to make whatever
needs to happen, happen.

That's the story of 11 years which I share by way
of 47 short, inspirational axioms in a powerful
little book called

  "47 HEARTS - How To Live YOUR Dreams, With

  Passion, Purpose & Persistence"

Now what if all YOU needed to do was read this
book - to help save a child's life?

Would you be willing to do so little while helping
so much?

My non-profit CHD Foundation works with children
in India who suffer from Congenital Heart Defects.

I perform the surgeries.  I raise funds to help pay
for them by writing and selling ebooks.  I do it
because these families are not able to come up with
all the money.

   And without treatment, children will suffer.


Now you can help me help those families when

you purchase the digital version of "47 Hearts".

Plus if you are willing to tell just one person,
you can help even more.

Will you order the ebook, "47 Hearts" from this
page and then tell just one special someone about
it?

   http://www.47hearts.com

  

You're MY 'one person'.

You know me. And I know you know someone,
someone in your life who has needed so much
more than you've been able to give.

So you gave what you could, and it helped.

Will you do that now?

When each of us makes even a small gesture,
it adds up to sharing and healing a heart, which
is ultimately connected to our own.

Share your heart. Buy the digital version of
"47 Hearts"

Have a wonderful and love filled Valentine's Day.

Buy The List Edge & Get a $179 Bonus

I said this about Gabor Olah's new course, THE LIST EDGE:

  "I recommend that you buy "The List Edge" IF you

  want to learn how to build BIG and RESPONSIVE
  email lists to later sell high-ticket products
  (or even lower priced ones) as an affiliate

  marketer or product creator."

 
Why?

Because I've suffered from apathy of opt-in list members
- and even abandoned a 15,000 strong email list early
in my marketing experience!

My The List Edge bonus (a $179.00 value) will show you
how to avoid this.

Read about it and a full The List Edge review here.
