This Week in the Hound House:<\/p>\n
Fresh eggplant, Michigan peaches, portabella mushrooms, cukes and
\nblack popcorn–all from my local farmer’s market. Love it!<\/p>\n
======================================
\n1. Why My Heart is Breaking
\n======================================<\/p>\n
Every time I hear one of these three comments, sadness grips me:<\/p>\n
–“I’m not blogging yet because I don’t have time.”<\/p>\n
–“The reason I don’t blog is because I can’t think of anything
\nto say, and I don’t want people to leave bad comments at my blog.”<\/p>\n
–“I’m already blogging, but I only post about once a month. I
\ndon’t write more than that because I’m not getting any traffic.”<\/p>\n
I hear this at least three times a week!<\/p>\n
Patiently, I try to counter each of those arguments with solid
\nreasons why blogging positions you as an expert in your field,
\npulls traffic to your website and impresses the heck out of
\npeople who type a problem into the Google search box, end up
\nat your blog, and find the answer.<\/p>\n
Now, I have one more piece of major artillery: Blogging shortcuts
\nfrom Danny Iny, who grew traffic to his own blog by 100 times,
\nlargely through guest blog posts he wrote for many high-traffic
\nblogs.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have time to blog, he knows shortcuts galore.<\/p>\n
If you can’t think of anything to say, he’ll help you come up
\nwith so many ideas, you won’t know what to write first.<\/p>\n
And if you only post once a month, he’ll show you how to write a
\ntop-quality, 1,000-word post in less than one hour.<\/p>\n
I’m hosting a free webinar at 3 p.m. Eastern Time today, and I’m
\ngiving Danny an hour and 15 minutes to explain his techniques,
\nand answer all your questions. Even if you’re not convinced that
\nblogging is for you, register anyway, and then decide.<\/p>\n

The video and software are free.<\/p>\n Watch your email for more about this–probably in a few days.<\/p>\n ==================================== Does your bio make readers smile? Or does it sound like the same I have a list of 12 questions you can ask yourself.
