My favorite is

Hi Folks,

Someone asked what your favorite tool is so I decided to post a short list of favorites (not just tools).

My favorite online tool is:
http://www.mind42.com
It’s a mind mapping software that is great for planning out sites, goals, blogs, etc…
I like it because it helps me get out of my head and get clear.

My favorite blog is:
http://mixergy.com/
This blog is about business… start-ups. The creator Andrew Warner really knows how to create value for his subscribers. It’s a must read/listen/watch for entrepreneurs or entrepreneurs to be.

My favorite food is:
Pizza but I can’t eat much of it anymore because it’s not good for me… bummer.

My favorite places are:
Hawaii (lived there for three years) and Karuizawa in Japan.

My favorite website is:
http://www.Youtube.com because I can listen to English. Living in Japan for 15 years has hurt my English.

My favorite book:
Mastery – The keys to success and long term fulfillment – By George Leonard.

My favorite business and internet marketing teacher is:
Eben Pagan

That’s my short list, what’s yours?

Heat maps and header image size

Hi folks,

The following video I made to answer a question about how big should my header image be.

I posted on my marketing blog but it would be relevant here as well.

After you watch the video, search Google for “Heat Maps” and check out http://www.crazyegg.com/ for more info.

New how to start a blog report

Hi Folks,

Because I’ve heard from many people they still do not have a blog up and running, I decided to make another report.

The first report was purely mechanical but it seems like folks need some other types of information before getting to the mechanics.  Such as;

1. Should I use a free platform like http://www.blogger.com or http://www.wordpress.com ?

2. Every time I sit and try to get into starting a blog I get over whelmed by all the choices, where or how should I just start?

3. What are the steps I need to take before actually building a blog of my own?

What are your thoughts? I could really use your opinions.

Please post your comments below and thank you very much in advance.

Back in action

Hi folks,

been away for five months to build a new site and train the folks involved. If you’d like to see it go to www.askintegralexperts.com

That site is a WordPress blog! But it has a very advanced membership script running behind the curtains.

IF you’d like some new WordPress themes that will work well with WordPress 3.0.1, I’m upgrading themes on the free themes page here.

I’m going to make some new videos too. Post what type of videos would be of use below in the comment section to contribute your ideas.

Setting up your first blog warnings

Would you like to know how not to do well blogging?

Okay here it is:

Start a brand new blog and fill it with ads.

I’m writing this because I’ve seen so many new blogs that are filled with ads and zero value.

People contact me often to look at their blogs and I’m shocked to see what they’ve built.

It’s as if they’ve drank the Internet Marketing cool-aid labeled “start a blog, fill it with ads and sit on the beach while millions roll in”.
