Grow Thick Skin!

Hey Guys,

Today I want to take a moment to thank you all for your love and support of my blog, I love you all and hope that I am doing you right with the posts I’m making. Be sure and let me know by commenting below!

When it comes to blogging some people really need to grow a thick skin, its not a job for the feint of heart and I am tired of all the complaining going around the industry.

I think a lot of it has to do with the economy and a lot of people are and have been effected by losing there jobs. That’s one reason I hope to get my blogs and sites / online business to a full time income within the year. I don’t want to be dependant on any one job to make it, I love working and have an incredible work ethic (thanks Dad) but some days I just want to lounge around, play video games, workout or just be silly because I can. With a full time income I could work a part time job for fun and spend the rest of it doing what I want!

Anyways to get back on topic, growing a thick skin in this industry is necessary, here are 3 tips to remember when it comes to blogging to help you not be effected by the everyday blows!

Tip 1 – Remember who you are, dont take yourself for granted or cut yourself short. Anyone can be successful and remember that if you put your mind to it (you can do it). Its all about your thoughts and staying positive, you can read this post and this post I wrote on self motivation awhile back!

Tip 2 – Always have a backup plan, I cannot stress enough how vital it is to have a Backup Plan or a Plan B for when things don’t happen like you want. Didn’t you reach your monthly RSS goal? Whats your backup plan to supercharge yourself for the next month? Need to make cash quick, how are you going to do it? These are all questions you can and should already have an answer to, that way when the present themselves you know what to do!

Tip 3 – Never back down, the biggest thing here is confidence, if you have confidence in what you are doing it will shine through and you will never back down even if its tough to do. Just remember Tip 2 and Tip 1 and this Tip should almost take care of itself!

Bless you all and have a great day, be sure to sign up to my newsletter if you haven’t already and have a great day blogging!

How I Got Robb Sutons Ebook For Free!

Hey Everyone,

I was just reading through the comments on my blog about the Robb Sutton ebook called Ramped Reviews.

I noticed a few of you asked questions like how I got the ebook without paying for it and in all honesty if you buy that ebook it will teach you what to do.

However I know some of you asked specifically what I wrote Robb in order to get his ebook for free and to please you all, here is the exact email I sent to Robb through his contact page.

My Email

Hello Rob, My blog has over 850 daily rss readers and I wouldn’t mind promoting your http://robbsutton.com/ramped-reviews/ ebook to them.

All I ask in return is a copy of the ebook to properly review. If its good I’m sure you will make sales through me, let me know if we can work something out.

Now, this doesnt mean you all should email Robb asking for his ebook for free, it really is worth the money and if Robb had said no I probablly would have bought it myself anyhow…

I do think however that some of you got the wrong idea from my review, a lot of you are saying you will wait till your traffic grows to a certain level and such before you ask to review a product or ebook. I want you to throw all that kind of thinking out the door, even if you only have 10 readers you can get stuff to review.

Those ten readers may be worth hundreds of dollars worth of products, your only one email away from finding out!

Don’t hesitate, try, try and try again! You have nothing to lose from asking!

Ramped Reviews Ebook Under Review!

Hey everyone,

Today I had the opportunity to check out Robb Suttons Ramped Reviews Ebook!

I read about Robb and his ebook on JohnChow and I thought I would check it out, reviewing products is something I have done for several years now and I have done reviews for companies like Adobe, Maxon and other big named companies. Lets just say I know a thing or two about getting products for free to review.

I then noticed it was $20 to buy the ebook, this presented a challenge for me because I wanted to read the ebook and hopefully get some tips from it but I didn’t want to pay $20 for information that I may of and probably already knew since I have had success with getting products in the past.

So I sent off a brief email to Robb and he kindly replied with the ebook attached! I wrote a post awhile back called “you do not have because you do not ask” which explains a simpler method to achieve the same that Robb shows. However keep reading this review because his ebook is worth the $20 and I explain why!

Why this ebook is worth $20!

Lets face it, there are so many “free ebooks” these days and “paid ones” that promise all these great ways to make money, learn seo, get twitter followers etc… But its hard to cut through the noise and see which ones are actually worth the time of day right?null

I found that Robb Suttons Ramped Reviews Ebook is not only worth the $20 its probably worth a lot more.

Robbs approach is simple and to the point, although its a 44 page ebook is a delightful and easy to read ebook so you won’t be wasting time reading what we call “Fluff Words” just to make the ebook seem bigger. All 44 pages is jamb packed with the goodness Robb promises!

Robb covers everything from how to be organized for better results all the way to blog design and how important that is to getting free stuff to review.

I am fully confident that if you purchase Robbs ebook you will have been more then satisfied with the purchase.

I thought I knew how to get products to review beause I have done it in the past but Robb opened my mind to many new ideas and techniques to try. His chapter which actually shows a letter he sends to companies to get their products was very good, its always nice to see someones actual copy that seals the deal and Robb is no exception!

Robb is a great teacher and his ebook is very easy to understand even if you are a novice blogger.

Overall this is a excellent ebook and well worth a look, for only $20 I guarantee if you follow his methods you will get free products worth a lot more then that within 1 month of using his techniques. In fact you will probably rake in hundreds of dollars worth of free stuff that’s yours to keep or give away for free on your blog!

Be sure to grab your copy of Robb Suttons Ramped Reviews Ebook today!
