In The Mind Of Deneil Merritt
This past Friday, I didn’t do a video for Fun Friday because it was the last day of the $30 off sale for the wordpress plugin ninja affiliate. I am sure some of you bought it through John Chow affiliate link and not mine. ERRR!!! lol just joking. I did take it back to the basics with 3 articles; Must have wordpress plugins, SEO friendly urls for better search results, and free content via interviews.

To answer people questions why make money online bloggers slow down on posts. I made a post about it to help people understand why that happens. I also changed up my lunch break so I made a post about it and ask what you do on your lunch break. The answers are all so different. Goes to show that everybody is different.

Are you helping the community by bringing more bloggers? Push some buttons below!

@Lee Ka Hoong – I don’t think there is a discount coupon for thesis that is working.

Deneil – please correct me if I’m wrong.

Oh I see, but I think there is someone gives out a discount by using their commission, let’s say 33% commission they get for a sale, then they will refund 20% to us. I could get 20% off, but I’m still looking for the best deal, which is $25 off. :) I’m going to purchase it by today if there is anyone offers me.

On the Thesis forum I’ve heard about a few different sites scamming others and never pay back these 20 percent they promised. Often we only get one version but it’s still alarming.

Good bloggers start to know each other fairly quickly even ,or maybe because,they are competitors.They gain mutual respect.To get fresh content they found out that guest posting is of mutual benefit ,more than just being able to go on a work free vacation.
Taking a break is refreshing and change can be as good as a break.Not posting as often has another benefit if the content is really good and that is that it allows a post to acquire more comments which sometimes present further ideas on their own or questions that need to be answered without sounding redundant.
Likewise resurrecting an old post that was exceptionally successful, can be updated and comments will be made to how and if the content is still relative.It should be noted though that when doing so the old comments should be included with the post and have original dates but also make sure that the reader understands that it is a post from the past that would like comments added about it’s relevancy today.

Hello Deneil,

I received your E-mail and decided to visit your Blog again..
You know It seems to me that almost every Blog I visit ,
Everyone teaches you how to make Money Blogging..

What`s up with that..Is that the best way everyone can
make money Blogging. Or is that just the easiest way to
do Blogs..As I look around your Blog , I see that you
have improved…

Your Blog is looking great and I hope you are doing well
with your promotions of it…I just started putting together
my Blog and I still have no real niche..

I have only been Blogging for a little over Two months and
seem to be having trouble making any money with what I
promote…

If you have any suggestions , I would be happy to listen…

Like Michael Dunlop says,
To Our Success,

Sincerely G.A. Parenti,
