Blogging
It’s no secret that I love Google Chrome {Google’s web browser}. When you spend 99% of your day in front of a computer connected to the internet, the little things make the biggest difference. {Not just for blogging-I’m a small business owner of an online nutrition counseling company.}
Some of my favorite internet tools include:
- Super Google Reader makes navigating through my favorite blogs fast & easy without having to click and open a million windows.
- Chrome extensions help me manage my time and work efficiently throughout the day.
What internet tools do you find help you be more productive or make things easier?
Social Media
Things you may have, should have, or would have learned at Fitbloggin’11:
1. If you have big {but not super big} feet, you get to rock the black New Balance sneaks.
2. Share your friends posts- it’s better than self promotion.
3. Updating your title tags after the initial publishing of a post likely won’t do much.
4. Workout pants are larger than they appear.
5. You’ll never become a good photographer if you don’t take pictures.
6. To be successful blogger, you need to hold yourself accountable- just like any other job.
7. Use language that is unique to you and your brand.
8. Even if you eat 80,000 Popchips, despite all beliefs, you will not turn into a Popchip. And you’ll still want more.
9. If you don’t ask for what you want, you’re just hoping and wishing.
10. Have genuine, real conversations with people.
11. Jumping on trampolines isn’t just for kids with pent up energy and ambition to flip each other high into the air with the highly sought-after double bounce.
12. It’s not about competition; we can ALL be successful in our own ways.
13. Zumba isn’t so bad after all.
14. Don’t keyword stuff. You will get penalized.
15. Owning a smart phone is essential if you want to succeed in life. You may only pick up on this being mentioned 50,000 times if you don’t own a smart phone.
16. Link to each other with good anchor text, not necessarily the name of the blog.
17. Social media is an SEO factory.
18. stolencamerafinder can help you discover your photos across the web using uber secret ninja codes embedded in your camera.
19. Watch out Facebook, there’s a new “poke” in town. Pokens all the coolest thing since sliced bread. I can already see everyone walking around in 10 years high-fouring each other. So long, business cards, you’re in the past.
20. Above all else, be true to yourself.
21. Hustle.
