What do you do when the big cow asks you to do another guest post, but you have a sore wrist and find typing on the keyboard very painful?

Simple… you do a blog series made almost entirely out of images, with little or no actual value, but may get away with it because the images are amusing. :twisted:

Carpal Tunnel Website Advice – Part one of two

1 – Keep your friends close and your competitors closer. Learn from what they are doing right and more importantly, what they are doing wrong.

2 – Money sucks! – Too many people focus on money first. Focus on your customers/readers, and the money will follow.

3 – When building a website start from the bottom and work upwards. The foundations of your site are the most important, start with the basics first.

4 – Do not be afraid of the huge mega sites in your industry. It is possible to build relationships with even the biggest sites. Remember, they are often not as scary as you think.

  4. I think in blogging terms that’s what they call a lazy day. 1 picture of a hot chick would have worked all the same.

  6. LMAO! Is that what they call defeating the purpose?

I realize that my success wont be from my blog but I can live with that.
