General Career Blog

Typically when we start a blog there is one true follower…you. We all know over time you will see your readership grow. It might start out with two or three and then jump to 100+ soon after. The goal of most blogs I think is to develop a relationship with your subscribers regardless of the size, and that comes with the quality of your posts, how often you share, how active you are, and how encouraging you are of your subscribers. I have put together a small list of ways to grow your subscription list and keep them reading.

1. Write at least five informative articles. You need to write at least five tutorial, also called “pillar” articles, giving your audience something of value. Try to shoot for more than 500 words with practical advice. This would be an example of an informative article or “how-to.” The more articles the better.

2. Write at least a post a day. Now this does not mean every one of your posts has to be an informative post. You want to make sure your visitors know that you update your blog regularly. When you first start you should blog everyday. Once you have established a following than you can back off to a couple times a week. The goal is to get subscribers and they only subscribe to current material.

3. Encourage comments on your blog. The more people see others (including you) commenting on your blog the more they are going to want to participate. Again this is about building a relationship with your subscribers. Try posting a question or taking a poll to encourage them to comment on your post. Don’t forget to respond to comments as well.

4. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have a decent number of posts it is time to venture out into the real world and start sharing it with others. Commenting on others’ blogs is a great way of doing that. Try commenting on blogs in the niche that your blog is in; you want your readers to have similar interests. When you start posting make sure you have something valuable to say. I can not stress this enough, if what you say does not bring value to someone else than don’t say it.

5. Link to other blogs and use trackbacks. A trackback is like having a conversation between blogs; your post will reference someone else’s post. Trackbacks, just like comments will lead back to your site using a link. This is the point where you start to create and build relationships with other bloggers as well as your readers.

I hope you take this information you learned and start applying it to your newly created blog. I encourage you to post a comment so I can see your blog and so we can start implementing some of the skills you just learned.

It is sad to see someone gone at a young age. Someone that live to be a acting that was her dream my heart go out to her family. I don’t know her that well but I seen so of her movie she was a good person she will be miss. It is sad when someone you love is gone you think it a dream and you are waiting to wake up but you know that they are gone. well I am sorry for the lose of Brittany Murphy.

[/caption] This past weekend, Brittany Murphy suddenly died at the age of 32. Born in Atlanta, she grew up in New Jersey before moving, along with her mother, to LA to pursue an acting career at the tender age of 13. Murphy got her first part a year later and not long afterward was appearing in movies like “Clueless,” “Girl Interrupted,” and eventually “Sin City.” Take a look back at some of her most memorable roles.

Clueless (1995) [/caption] Murphy made a splash in this hit high school comedy as Tai, the fashion-challenged transfer student whom Alicia Silverstone’s Cher takes under her wing.

Girl, Interrupted (1999) Murphy raised her profile in this critically-acclaimed drama, starring alongside Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder and giving a memorable performance as Daisy, a suicidal teen with an eating disorder.

Don’t Say a Word (2001) Holding her own opposite Michael Douglas, Murphy played a disturbed young woman who holds a valuable secret, perhaps best remembered for her line, “I’ll never tell…” which was prominently featured in the film’s ad campaign.

8 Mile (2002) In director Curtis Hanson’s hip hop drama, Murphy starred as wannabe model Alex, who gets romantically entangled with up-and-coming Detroit rapper Eminem in his acting debut.

Uptown Girls (2003) Murphy transitioned from supporting roles to lead with this indie coming-of-age tale about a dead rock star’s daughter who finally steps out her father’s shadow. The movie is also one Dakota Fanning’s first leading roles.

Just Married (2003) Murphy starred opposite her then boyfriend Ashton Kutcher in this tale about a honeymoon gone wrong. Soon after this movie came out, they broke up and Kutcher started dating his future wife, Demi Moore.

Sin City (2005) Even though Murphy appeared in all three of the major stories in Robert Rodriguez’s comic book adaptation, her scenes were all filmed in one day.

Happy Feet (2006)

In this hugely popular animated musical about dancing penguins, Murphy not only voiced the role of Gloria, the bird with the best voice in Antarctica, but also did all of her own singing.

I’m sure that by now, you’ve done some business on EBay, either by buying or selling something. You’ve probably already thought that it would be great to sell things on ebay for extra income, maybe even as a career. This is entirely possible, but there are a few tricks to it.

First of all, unless you want to spend all day making crochet monkeys, swords or one of many things people sell on eBay, you’ll want to find a supplier whom you can get your items cheaply from. You have to make a profit, and there’s no guarantee that the auction aspect of eBay will drive the price up very much.

If you can mark up your product 3 or 4 times the amount you paid for it and still be competitive, you have a great start. This should be the “Buy Now” price that you will list in the auction. It will also be the price listed in your eBay store.

By the way, while being unique and cornering a new niche is a wonderful thing, you should also make sure that your products are stuff people actually will want to buy. You don’t want to be in a saturated niche to start with, but you also don’t want to be in a niche that no one buys anything from. If there’s nobody selling a particular sell things on eBay, there’s probably a good reason for it.

Of course, you will also have to make sure that it’s a “tangible product,” that is, something you will have to mail to the customer. If you have electronic files that you’re selling, it’s better to burn them to disk before you put them on eBay. It’s a good way to keep your account from getting suspended.

Now you may be a little ambitious and are wondering if there’s a way to make extra money off your product once it’s sold. Yes, there is. In your About Me page, include your outside URL and some copy that will convince them to go to this site to buy your non-physical merchandise.

Not that I would condone this, and eBay might not support it, but let’s say you sell a Playstation on eBay. You could include a link to your own website, where they can buy electronic copies of game guides and guides to hack the Playstation for different games.

To ensure the chances that your request will be granted by the company, it is important to know the basics in making an effective as well as impressive transfer request. Below are the simple instructions and tips that you can follow if you like to understand how to write a job transfer letter.

Instructions

To write an impressive letter, you need to start with citing the reasons why you want to transfer to another location or why you want to be considered in the vacation position. The reasons can be personal or can be related to the growth in your career. If you are applying for a job transfer for promotion, then it is important that you convince the company that you qualify for the position. On the other hand, if you are applying for a job transfer due to some personal issues, you need to cite the reasons as clearly as possible so that the company can understand your present situation.

In addition, your accomplishments can also include the awards that you received from the company. To impress your superior, remember to state the trainings that you attended and completed. The trainings that you will cite should be important to help you adjust to your new responsibilities if ever the request was considered by your boss.

The body should also include your interest to be part of the company. Cite all the contributions of the company to your career growth. You can also mention that the company helped you be knowledgeable about the various aspects of the business world.
