I’ve got it for you … at least if you’re looking for free articles on “grant writing,” “productivity,” or growing your “business online.”

Scroll down to go directly to the feed link and instructions for getting good content. Keep reading if you want to hear my story …

trafficLast week, I was checking my Google Analytics report for unique visitors coming to my Grant Writing Newsletter opt-in page. I noticed 9 unique visitors were coming from 1 organization … a professional association for nonprofits. I learned from my mentor Stu McLaren to follow up with people sending you traffic. So, I did!

What I discovered was that the organization had included my article – “Can You Pay a Grant Writer a Percentage From the Grant?” – on its website for its members. So, I thought, “Wow, if they are looking for good content for their members, they might as well subscribe to a ‘direct feed’ to my article stream.”

Then, today I was speaking with my friend Kelly Rudolph (also a member of Stu’s Instant Business Answers). I mentioned that while I was following up with the organization, I found the “Gatekeeper of Content” for members of that organization. That is, she is the person who is looking for content, then sharing it with members.

I get positive goose bumps when things come into my radar screen 3 times in a short period of time. So, when a new acquaintance with a top service organization – another gatekeeper of content – said just a few minutes ago that he was “looking for content,” I got those positive goose bumps again.

So, I think it’s the perfect time to give you a direct feed link to good content

website-designToday, I got an email from a friend who wants to create a business online. He asked me what class I recommended for him to learn how to design a website for his online business. 

I recommend that you learn WordPress if you want to design your own site. It’s easy to use, but powerful enough to handle a business and making money online.  Here were the recommendations I made to him …

  1. CLASS - I recommend the Website Creation Workshop with Christina Hills to learn WordPress … http://budurl.com/WebCreation. Christina is a world-class teacher of WordPress. She helps many pro’s create their sites.
  2. HOSTING SERVICE – I recommend Blue Host for hosting your site … http://budURL.com/EasyWebHosting. Best rates and 24/7 customer support in the business. It supports WordPress, you can add new domain names for $10/year … plus I use it for my ticket system (needed for a business).
  3. THEME – For your WordPress theme, I recommend Thesis … http://budurl.com/ThesisWPTheme.
  4. SHOPPING CART – When you’re ready to sell something online, I recommend 1ShoppingCart … http://budURL.com/1ShoppingCart. You don’t need this initially, but eventually you will.
  5. MEMBERSHIP SITE – If you plan to protect the content on your site and create recurring revenue streams with WordPress, I recommend Wish List Member … http://budurl.com/WishListMember

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. There are a lot of scams out there that promise a lot … but don’t deliver … after you’ve put out a big chunk of change. Feel free to run stuff by me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or email.

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life [...]

I Blamed It On The Blister

January 8, 2010

Today, I stopped my run short because of a blister.
I like to run around Virginia Lake, which is a beautiful man-made lake about a quarter of a mile away. My typical run is to the lake and around it 5 times.
However, when I didn’t schedule enough time, I cut back the number of laps … [...]

Blog Talk Radio

It’s super easy to set up and use. It took me less than 60 minutes to be up and running!
It allows for easy syndication. For example, you can “embed” each show easily into your WordPress sites; others can broadcast shows [...]

Here’s my story …
I’ve been online since 1997, when hired my friend and colleague Martin Bauer to help me design an online grant writing class for Truckee Meadows Community College. You see, the college didn’t have staff or the technology to help at the time. So, he helped me created the first online class for [...]
