7 Reasons Why Unemployed People Should Start Blogging

109 Comments / Blogging Tutorials, Guest Posts / /

Blogging has exploded into the mainstream web over the recent years, with more and more people turning to blogging for a variety of reasons.
The beauty of blogging is that you don’t need a degree or a scholarship to start doing it, you don’t need a huge amount of money either, and more over being unemployed means you have all the time in the world to work on your blog, to some degree. I certainly wished that I had made the decision to start blogging when I was unemployed for a solid 4 years, back almost 20 years ago, but to be honest the internet had only just started coming to life…

Incapsula

Incapsula Review: Is It The Best Way To Make Your Blog Faster and Safer?

69 Comments / Guest Posts, Tech / /

About a month ago, I saw Justin of Dragon Blogger talking on Facebook about a new service he was using called Incapsula. I decided to sign up (it’s free) and give Incapsula a try. The best way to visualize Incapsula is to think of it as the “middle man”. Incapsula sits between your server and your reader, so instead of your user’s computer asking your server to deliver your blog’s pages directly, it asks Incapsula and then Incapsula talks to your server. In addition to protecting your server, Incapsula also gets rid of some of the server load.

When I was speaking in Ohio at a blogging convention, I realized the price of admission to go to one of these things. To be honest, it’s kind of outrageous the prices they charge. While there, I really got to thinking about events that I could create that would be free to bloggers who were just getting started. The kind of event that you could attend in your own living room or office. Naturally that event would have to be online, and that’s just the event I created!

Facebook Promoted Posts have been getting some not so welcoming reviews. Especially from small business owners without deep pockets to spend in social media.The more favorable option is to focus your efforts on a different platform altogether. No you shouldn’t abandon Facebook entirely, but, if your reach declined drastically, you may need to cut your losses. This is how I see it…
