Wilby blogging for money

Details on where the event will be held and on how to RSVP can be found by following the link.

For those who can’t make it or don’t live in the area, you can read the very short version of how I did it at:

How to Get 1,000,000 Unique Visitors – 7+1 Steps That Worked for Me.

Or you can subscribe to this site to learn how via email when/as I write the steps up in more detail.

Bookmarking the site and coming back often works, too.

Hope to see you at a Meetup!

CalHigh

I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet. (See Amos 7:14) But every now and then I get a glimpse into the future.

Today, maybe I saw a bit of the days to come at CalHigh in San Ramon, CA – San Ramon Valley Unified School District: California High.

I was invited to speak to a group of future entrepreneurs, headed up by Zahra Siddique. My assignment to let the young people know about how I do the blogging thing and how it pays my bills.

But if you ask me, I want to know how 14-year old Zahra was able to get 40 some people all in a room at the same time, quiet (while eating their lunches) and attentive?

Now THAT’s leadership. Well done, Zahra. Seriously, can you teach me how you did that?

I spent more time in the car driving to and from San Ramon from my home in Sunnyvale but the 20 minutes of jumping up and down (it’s how I talk – can’t help it) and the 10 minutes of Q & A that followed made the trip well worth it. (more…)

How’s your blog doing?

Not a few of you have already signed up for the 2nd Blog Workshop on Saturday, April 24, 2010.

Details -  http://www.southbaywriters.com/meetings/workshops/blog2_workshop.html

Many of you will also have an opportunity to attend a workshop being organized in your area as well, albeit a bit beyond April 24th – June in Sacto, July in Fremont and …

My take on this April 24th workshop is that it is a prequel to the first blog workshop.

The first one addressed – how to use blogging as a platform, to get traffic and the earning potential. It was the ‘meat’ or whatever else you might put in a sandwich so to speak.

This next workshop is the two slices of bread – How to get started, the mechanics of posting, inserting links, images, media and scheduling…. And how to build your network, add links to your books and make some money… (more…)

I will be speaking this coming Sunday, 3/14 at a church located at

62 S. San Tomas Aquino Rd, Campbell, CA 95008 2nd floor,

on my encounter with a Soviet High Party Communist professor during the peak of the Cold War, being whisked away at night by the KGB, and taken to meet a Witch!

Time 11:00am-12 (noon).
