Kitchen Sink Web Marketing
My friend Paul just started a blog! It’s called Kitchen Sink Web Marketing. I have been working on him for three years to blog. But to his credit, it only took him a week to catch the vision of blogging. He’s an official addict. He calls me and brings up blog posts he’s written or will write. I tell him, don’t forget to blog about [insert great internet marketing tool]. He still needs to blog about One Note (I think that’s what it’s called). I need to bring it up in the next RMAMA meeting on March 16th.
Paul and I are working together on some projects (like our PR 2.0 ebook) in our free time (hah! is time ever free?). We thrive off new ideas and work well together. We worked together at a job several years ago and were instant friends. He talked about internet marketing and I was captivated. I was obsessed and couldn’t get enough. We’ve each learned different things and taught each other along the way. We tried to get hired at the same company once. When it didn’t work out we didn’t need to work for the same company to work together. They asked to see his blog, like Janet’s, and he admitted he didn’t have one. That was the final push he needed to start one.
My blog and Linkedin have built so much credibility and momentum in my business. In turn this has enriched my life, made me friends, and gotten me jobs. I’m convinced that it can happen for anyone. You don’t need to be the most popular blogger, you just need a loyal following.
Paul will be joining me to teach the blogging class on Wednesday in Lehi. He’s already talking like he’s been blogging forever because he gets it. We can only have 15 people. There is another class on March 14th at 7pm in American Fork, Utah at 437 South 500 East that can accommodate up to 30.
Welcome to blogging Paul!

Janet- You’re awesome! I’ve decided that blogging brings out my vainness. I definitely want people to write and leave comments about my blog. Now that I understand this I vow to leave comments on anyone’s blog I read. Thanks for baptizing me into the blogging religion. I really am a convert!

no kidding…that’s why I say if you want to reach a blogger, play to that vanity (on a basic level, leave a comment). Also, give them entertaining or unique content.
To curb vanity and not be obsessed, I stopped looking at my stats. I rarely know how many or who is reading my blog. Sometimes I just don’t have time to obsess. At the beginning I did though. I watched it all very closely.
Looking forward to teaching blogging classes with you this week and next week. We make a killer team.
Janet
