Not A Pro Blog Acquired By ProBlogger
For Immediate Release: NEW ALBANY, Indiana. (April 1, 2010) – Not A Pro Blog, the web’s worst blog tips site, today announced that it has been acquired by ProBlogger.net. This acquisition will be a part of Darren Rowse’s extension of the ‘ProBlogger’ brand and a precursor to his new paid forum for the hopelessly unsuccessful, NotAProBlogger.com – where broke bloggers sabotage each other. “Blogging continues to grow in popularity, but since no one actually implements my advice – I might as well hedge my bets.” said Rowse on one of his horridly boring UStream chats today. “Not… dare to read more?
A Fake Apology For The Unaware
So, I haven’t posted here on the blog in 4 days. Wait for it… Wait for it! I’m incredibly sorry and apologize to all my 12 readers, but I’ve been… Hold on, it doesn’t even matter. You probably haven’t noticed any difference, right? For all you know, I did write three blog posts over the weekend – but you scrolled right past it in your RSS reader. Boy, I definitely would sound quite arrogant if I professed my heartfelt apologies thinking I was somehow an integral part of your life. Actually, I should be the one upset. How important are you that I can disappear for a whole… dare to read more?
Why I Quit Using TweetDeck
Breaking News: Social media guru expert speaks heresy about popular 3rd party Twitter app! That’s right, folks. I’m going to be the one person truly brave enough. I’ll point out something that has irked us social media types for quite some time, but too many are afraid to open their mouths. I’ve heard the grumblings long enough, so I’ll take the bullet for the team. TweetDeck sucks! Don’t you all feel so much better now? Now, to all the non-believers clutching to your prehistoric ideologies circa August 2009, feel free to flame me in the comment section. I can take the heat. But… dare to read more?
Nigerian Spammers Changed My Life
I wanted to take the time to let everyone know about the people online that have made a difference in my life. Those that have made made it more meaningful… Like Mariam Abacha, wife of the late General Sanni Abacha of Nigeria. For the past decade or so, I’ve had quite a strong relationship with her and her family. See, 12 years ago her husband, then the Nigerian Military Head of State died mysteriously as a result of cardiac arrest. Now this left a void in the control of the country and the new democratic government had the assets of the Abachas frozen by President Abdusalami Abubakar… dare to read more?
A Tale Of Two Storefronts
In the neighborhood where I grew up in Brooklyn, there’s a hodgepodge of independent businesses. The proverbial “mom and pop” establishments run by passionate sole proprietors. Let me tell you about two of them. A few blocks away from my old home is a sewing machine repair shop. It’s been there ever since I can remember. It’s a two-person operation and all they do is fix sewing machines. That’s it. They have a regular storefront, ample space and signage. They have regular store hours six days a week. To this day, I have never seen anyone walk in to that place. When passing it by every… dare to read more?
Confessions Of A Free Addict
I want everything for free. I want it all for nothing. $0.00 is the only price I want to pay. I will fight tooth and nail to get anything for free. Music, movies and games, I’ll try to find a torrent. Any type of news or information, I’ll search the heavens and the earth for what I want at no cost. No law will stop me. No moral or ethical argument will persuade me. Yes, I have money to spend – but you will have to pry it from my dead body to get it. I don’t care how valuable the content is. To me, it’s not worth paying for if I don’t have to. I don’t care about you. I don’t… dare to read more?
How To Build A Powerful Blogging Alliance

Loving the ability to succeed completely on our own, it’s important though to admit that help may be needed to reach our goals.

You’ve been blogging for a whole 5 weeks, so you obviously have all the answers already. Why would you want to collaborate with competitors in your field? Of course… dare to read more?
The Art of Crowdsourcing
I’m too lazy to write a blog post today. Frankly, I’ve just been too busy. Over the weekend, I brokered several joint venture deals, spoke at 34 different conferences, had 107 coaching calls, set up Wordpress blogs for the entire nation of Burkina Faso and conducted a 15-hour webinar on the subject of brevity. Ok, who am I kidding? I obviously spent countless hours on Twitter while checking my blog stats every three minutes. Do you realize how much work it takes to talk about all the great things you’re planning while never actually doing it? It’s exhausting! That’s why I’m… dare to read more?
