Excellent Lesson from the Blogging Experiement

The Simpsons: Lessons on Blogging written by Ben Cook over at the Blogging Experiment has some very interesting insights.

What great advice! I especially could relate to the points he makes in this article regarding writing and the popular Simpson's cartoon:


Plans Will Fail

• How many times doe we plan to do something and it not result in what we want? Does the result that we get give us something better? Is it really a failure?


• Donald Trump had many failures -- is that a bad thing?


• What it means to be successful is to learn from our failures and move forward.


• Don't complain about failure, find a positive spin on it and share with your community.

Attention to Detail

• Are you writing the types of material that your community desires?


• Are you taking time to comment on other bloggers sites?
