Going Beyond Blogging in 2010

Beyond Blogging2010 is right around the corner and with it will come a shift in the blogging world from just blogging to Beyond Blogging. My friend Nathan Hangen (We met at Blog World Expo and he is an amazing guy) and his friend Mike CJ (Whom I have not met but hope to meet someday because he’s a pretty interesting guy living a dream life on an island, something I’d love to do someday) have created a fantastic program called Beyond blogging.

I was lucky enough to be asked to be part of the affiliate program and got an advanced draft of the the program. I loaded up the extensive ebook .pdf file into my Kindle and read through it in a couple of hours. What I read were profiles on some of the best bloggers in the business. People I respect highly like Chris Brogan, David Risley and Gary Vaynerchuk. Other people I wish to emulate like Darren Rowse and Jonathan Fields. Their stories of success are so inspiring that it is near impossible not to take any action.

As a part of the affiliate program I can tell you that Nathan and Mike have released a free .pdf report about future of blogging in 2010 and beyond.

As a blogger, or someone thinking about starting a blog, you should definitely read this report, because it talks about some of the pitfalls that most bloggers face, and the many more that you’ll face in the near future.

It’s called 2010 and Beyond – The Truth about Blogging in the Next Decade, and it’s a very intriguing and educational read.

It’s 15 pages, and reads in about 15 minutes. Considering the time of year, it couldn’t be released at a more perfect time.

So head on over and grab the free report. There’s no opt-in required and you can be reading it within 60 seconds by clicking the link below.

The launch is a few days away and I also want my friends to have the chance to Get in on the ground floor of this program that I believe will help you kick start your blogging career in 2010.

Personally I want a program like this to help motivate me and inspire me. I’ve been blogging since 2003 and I’ve yet to make a real success of it because I don’t treat blogging as a business that can help me have the life I want. I treat this as fun and games and a hobby but work on it like it was a full time job. A job I love but do not make money from. I’m certainly not an expert at making money online but the people in Beyond Blogging are and they can prove their track records. Me personally, I want to be a case study in the 2011 Beyond Blogging book (if there is one)

Dada had Eva for the day so he took Eva and (Uncle Mike) to Borders, Toys R Us and Dairy Queen. I had coupons and gift cards I needed to use so I wanted to go use them.

At Borders I picked up the book Career Renegade by Johnathan Fields. My Life Coach Kim Ann Curtin suggested this to me and since we are going to get started with sessions soon I figured now was as good a time as any to get started. So I picked up that book and also picked up a watercolor book for Eva. She did some water color painting at the Eric Carle museum and enjoyed it and so she picked out a TinkerBell book with the watercolors attached. It has been so long since I’ve done any watercolors.

We went to Toys R Us because I had a $10 gift card but I needed my Toys R Us credit card so I left the toy there and we continued to Dairy Queen.

I love taking Eva to Dairy Queen because it is fun to watch her eat ice cream. She barely touches it and it gets all over her. She was swapping my ice cream for hers over and over it was funny. Uncle Mike certainly had a laugh or two.

They're all mine!

Later on we went to my Uncle Rich’s place for a cook out. He even had a singer/guitar player there who was singing all the great soft rock hits. He was really good and my Uncle pretty much provided a nice sound for the neighborhood. We had a nice time and came on home.

Oh and this morning at church Eva’s timing was once again spot on. Fr. Gabriel (a priest we like and who Baptized Eva) was consecrating the host and we were kneeling. Suddenly Eva starts saying the prayer that we say for Grace before meals. The kid has great timing. After church we saw that Fr. Dave’s lawn had gotten “Flocked” It was covered in pink flamingos. We took Eva to check them out.

You've Been Flocked

And here is one of those weird but cool connections. Today I also worked on Kim Ann Curtin’s Website/Blog and on her Consulting Page I saw a testimonial from one Mr. Christopher Williams. Christopher is my inspiration behind the Photo-A-Day project. How small a world is that?
