Encouragement To Boost Self Confidence

Last week I was talking to one of my friend, he is Joe Boyle from WebsiteBegin.com. During our discussion we were talking about his blog and I was asking him “how comes I don’t see readers commenting on your blog”, “aren’t you doing enough promotion?”. I told him what he needed to do in order to make his blog successful. He said he was working on some things and have some great post coming up soon.

I am glad to say that he made some adjustments, is now riding the waves and blogging away with some great blog posts.

What I was doing for Joe is giving him some encouragement so to push him further to build up his blog. In today’s world encouragement is needed for everyone.

I Love My Blog. What About You?

How many of you bloggers ever said that to yourself? I Love My Blog…

You might have not said it out loud but deep down inside you, you love your blog without even knowing it.
