New WordPress Plugin, Scribe, Takes Bloggers to New SEO Level
This morning I got my usual ProBlogger blog post email. Inside were details about a new WordPress plugin called “Scribe“, a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) evaluator and booster. After doing research and taking the Scribe plugin tour, I bought it and am testing it out as we speak.
Here’s how it works… Scribe has a killer special right now to get their highest package for only $27 per month (that’s the same price as their smallest package!). You download the plugin, then upload into your website. The beauty of this package is that you can use this plugin on Unlimited websites…Imagine the possibilities. Then, activate the plugin and start a blog post. You’ll notice a new section in your Add Post page called “Scribe Content Optimizer”. As I do certain SEO tasks, I see green checkmarks appear that I am on track to having a highly optimized blog post.
3 Unusual Tips for Creating a Quick Product
Marty Dickinson’s 12/8/09 issue of “Tuesday Triplet”:
This morning marks the day our HereNextYear client project manager, Amber Ludwig (My nickname for her is “Bring It ON!”), has launched her first ebook after a year of working with me.
It’s an exciting time for her and there’s about a 1,000 pound pie of pride around here for her accomplishment.
She calls it “Online Evolutions” which is a compilation of blog posts she’s made at her website at InsightfulDevelopment.com.
Check out how Amber has assembled her sales page at http://tinyurl.com/yaugfdd and then read the rest of this email so to consider emulating what she has done for your own business.
Online Evolutions to Release in 7 Days
I started the Insightful Development website because I have this urge deep inside to share my knowledge – to make an impact on the world. I have felt so blessed in my life… overcoming many great challenges with the help of others. I want to be that person for someone else.
I am preparing right now to finish the very final draft on the first book I wrote, “What the Heart Wants: A Teen’s Journey From Lost to Found”. I think this will be a very important book for young people who struggle to know what to do in a variety of situations. I wrote this 200 page book 5 years ago and have been on-again-off-again ever since. It’s not that I didn’t believe in the story… I just couldn’t seem to find the right editor or publisher… until now.

A Preview of BySheSaid.com | Custom Rusted Metal Creations by Sharon Ludwig
Sharon Ludwig has been a residential home builder and land developer for over 15 years. Although construction was truly a great passion while rearing her two beautiful daughters, Kimberly and Amber, Sharon continually received what she called “downloads” of creative artistic ideas. Although she incorporated many of these expressions in her projects, most were filed under “Creation Folder” on her computer.
As Life tends to provide exactly what we need albeit sometimes challenging for purposes of growth, the 
real estate market fell into its current doom and gloom condition. Consequently, Sharon at long last found herself with time on her hands, thus BySheSaid.com was born. Although the web site is currently under construction, “Gateway” a division of BySheSaid.com is well under way.

Custom Twitter Backgrounds to Attract More Twitter Followers
Custom Twitter Backgrounds (see below for examples) can hands down increase your followers! If you are using Twitter to get business exposure then you need as many followers as you can get your hand on.
What if I get a follower who doesn’t appear to be interested in my Twitter topics?
It doesn’t matter. When “SarahJ” becomes a follower of you, your tweets show up in her Feed (where all of HER followers can see what tweets SarahJ’s followers make). So, naturally, someone else in SarahJ’s network will be interested in what you have to say…then that person will follow you too. Now you are showing up in that person’s feed where even more can see what you have to tweet. See how it snowballs??
