PLR Content & Some Link Love

If you're new here, why not subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!



After going back and forth with myself I have made many changes to my plans. For one, I have unloaded several domain names and it felt GREAT. With the unloading of domains was also a shift in thinking. I no longer want several sites making a few dollars and more. I have finally realized (after much resistance) less IS more. I want to work on things that inspire me and make me want to write. I have a nice handful of new/existing sites based on this premise.

I am a big fan of PLR (Private Label Rights) articles. As long as you realize you do/should make modifications to make them unique (or so I think anyway). My favorite PLR site is Niche Content Packages. The articles are good quality and the graphics are superb. I was thrilled when Stev announced they made several BIG changes to their website. One such change is now you can purchase credits to buy the article packages of your choice. Can you tell how happy I am about this change?

My Favorite Blog Posts this week:

One of my best friends (and partner on a few projects), Belle, has a thought provoking post titled Finding My Voice. Much of what she said resonated with me and some of my own struggles as a blogger.

Lynn Terry has a trio of posts that are a must read:
The Difference Between A-List Bloggers and the rest of the alphabet…
What It Takes To Become an A-List Blogger and Join ‘The Blogging Elite’
Six Reasons To Shoot For The B-List and Forget About Becoming an A-List Blogger…

Pick the Brain has a motivating, helpful post 27 Lessons Learned on the Way to 3000 Visits a Day and 2200 RSS Subscribers.

The Real Secret to Getting Tons of Blog Subscribers - one of my favorite blogs. It’s about time he finally lets us in on the *real* secret ha!.

You have probably heard about it all over the web but still worth mentioning is the Authority Black Book, some very good tips and suggestions.

Lastly, John Chow has a new, free e-book Making Money with an E-book - Using An E-Book To Drive Traffic & Make Money Online. I have only been writing my e-book for two years now (procrastinate much?). This was a real kick in the @$$ for me.

And there you have it. My list of favorites for this week. Happy Reading. Any suggestions for reading, leave me a comment or send me an email :) I purposely didn’t mention all my trips to the bookstore the past two weeks. Maybe I should just start a 12-step program?

Space, I need Some Space

I have several blogs/product blogs. When aligning the image to the left, the text is always smashed up against the image. Being technically challenged, I was banging my head on the desk trying to figure out how to get a small gap of space between the text and the image. I finally found some code to help! I thought I would share incase anyone else is frustrated with this same problem.

The code is this: .photo {padding: 3px 15px 3px 0;}

How to apply the code: After inserting the CSS code to your style.css, next you need to apply this style to your images inside the post. You can do that easily by adding these two lines of codes inside your [img tag "align="left" class="photo"] as shown below:

[img src=’/images/image.jpg’ align=’left’ class=’photo’/]

Easy fix, for people that are technically challenged like myself. I can work around a template/css stylesheet but build it from scratch, not so much. They don’t call me the Template Queen for nothing ;) Unlike my good friend the WordPress Queen, whom masters WordPress, writes her own scripts and tons of other cool stuff ! I want to be just like her when I grow up!

ReviewMe Affiliate Program

ReviewMe unveiled their new affilate program today. Get $25.00 for every new advertiser you refer to ReviewMe who purchases a review that makes it to completion!

You can read further details on the ReviewMe Blog. Or you can pick up your affiliate badge when you log into your account.

While I do like Roy and find him extremely cute, I personally prefer a text link rather than an affiliate badge to post on my site.

I did the initial review of ReviewMe and have received one other review offer since that time but I chose to decline because the topic was not related to this site in anyway.

Have you had any review offers from ReviewMe since their initial launch? Inquiring minds want to know ;)
