Bentley University: My New Home for Blogging
Hello Everyone!
As you may have guessed by the title, I have officially moved into college! I’ve been at my college Bentley University for about two weeks now and I’m loving it. I miss people from back home, but I still like the freedoms (and parties) at college. Despite the obvious college atmosphere during the weekends, the weeks are all about studying.
The Availability Effect: Cherish Your Small Audience
“I need more traffic.” “I want more views on my website.” “I want a larger audience.” These are phrases I see a lot online. They are understandable wishes from bloggers and website owners, but why is everyone in such a hurry? Well the quick answer is the fame or fortune. And in that case, I see your point. You want to strike that internet gold and be set for life. I really don’t blame you.
Simply Inspiring Stories: Caine’s Arcade (Video)
Happy Mothers Day Everyone,
Pat Flynn, the owner of the Smart Passive Income Blog, has mentioned a video in his last few posts called Caine’s Arcade. I finally watched it and WOW! It literally brought tears to my eyes. I imagined if that had happened to me when I created my little businesses such as Golf Ball Cleaning and Picture Drawing. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Caine is the greatest kid ever! Check out his video to be inspired! [embedtweet text="(Tweet this)" tweet= "Caine is the greatest kid ever! Check out his video to be inspired! http://bit.ly/L7So9S via @SimplyLBusiness"]

The “Pat on the Back Effect” – The Flaws in Social Media
There is a real problem that needs to be addressed here and now. It’s been ignored for way too long. Or at least, no post has been made about it. It’s costing you tons and tons of time and you are missing out on tons and tons of money. What is that problem? The “Pat on the Back Effect”.
This may seem like a strange thing for me to say. But social media may be actually doing you a disservice. In order to gauge whether it is or not you have to answer these two questions.
An Update from Austin, Texas and South by Southwest
On Wednesday, I flew into Austin for the South by Southwest Festival. The main focus is to learn about marketing, blogging, and any new technology that can enhance my blog. I plan to go to mostly social media and marketing sessions during this festival.
Today, Friday March 9 (when I’m writing this post), was the beginning of the festival that will last about two weeks. It’s like 6 hours into the first day and it’s already clear: I am one of the youngest ones here. That was to be expected though. As this was the case for the Business Connect conference I went to. Same soup, different bowl.
