HARDCORE MARKETING HAS CHANGED
ENTER THE AGE OF WEB CRUSH............
Hardcore Direct Marketing Has Changed Its Name.....
Shortly after the new year I changed the name of this blog completely to fit into my new web format. I recently changed the name of my company to reflect what I am doing currently. www.911copywriters.com will carry the new #1 SEO Michigan graphics and services.
We are doing more mobile media now with podcasting, blogging, and seo work. The "Hardcore Direct Marketing" sounded a little too brutal so we softened it up a bit.
More to come...

CHICKLETS 101
RSS FEEDS AND PODCASTING
I recently came across some online information about RSS Feeds and where i can get the best chicklets. I found this in one of the new Podcasting books thats out. After following the instructions I visited the sites where this was posted and found out that some of them didn't perform very well.
My Yahoo, My Google, and a few other chicklets didn't link properly once i got them into my blog template. So I selled out a big 6 bucks to get it done right.... and I went to Feedburner.
I am very happy with this service and I learned something that I never suspected. Out of the 20 odd chicklets they posted I only added a handful as you can see. But the most number of subscribers came from services like ROJO and Bloglines..... I ran a test on my other blogs and I don't think you should second guess any of these smaller news feed readers.
They are all pretty important. On one hand it may look a bit gaudy to have all of them running along side your posts but its better to be safe than sorry. Especially when Feedburner boasts that it can track thousands of subscribers for you. This is a great service when you want to really find out who is reading your posts.
Find out more here:
http://www.feedburner.com
When you get an account you get a graph to tell you what service your subscribers are signing up under. This is helpful to know. There are so many blog search engines, podcast search engines and RSS connections out there now that getting an accurate thumbprint of your traffic is downright crucial. It is going to save you a ton of headaches down the road.

How to Launch a Career With Your Blog
The following comes from Fast Company Magazine,
Your blog can get you the career of your dreams.
Silicon Valley start-ups and media behemoths aren't the only ones realizing the rewards of the rebounding Web economy. Already, many A-list bloggers have generated significant income from running advertisements on their blogs. Though with an estimated 53.4 million blogs expected to launch by year-end, according to Perseus Development Corporation, it's safe to assume that not everyone is going to get rich from blogging. So what's in it for the up-and-coming blogger, beyond creative self-expression?
Blogging can be transformative -- placing you on a new career path, earning you a book deal, or catapulting you into the field of your dreams. Just ask some of the folks we spoke with.
"My blog has led me to change my life," says Jeff Jarvis, author of the media and news blog, Buzz Machine. "I left my corporate job to take the consulting gigs, speaking gigs, and writing gigs that have come my way as a result of the reputation I built up through my blog."
Read more about it here.......
--------------------------------------------
The real question is can this really work? That is, work for you?
Granted, this is very time consuming and it can actually turn into an obsession. But the benefits of working this way you will have a definate shot at getting into your niche market. By talking and communicating interactively with your audience base you can boost your chance of making a new market for yourself.
The ones who have already have discovered the power of this have even quit their day jobs. Many are pursuing things they really love to do such as sell wine full time. Others have written ebooks, sold audio courses on every niche market you can think of.
This year we have estimated roughly 54 Million blogs in existence.

HARD TECH UPDATE: BLOG PLATFORMS
ANYONE RE-THINKING THEIR BLOG?
Check this out. According to the guys at: http://www.businessblogconsulting.com/
The reason to switch over to WordPress was obvious. Here is what they said.
"Because WordPress is such a popular blogging platform, it’s easy to find developers to work on it. It also certainly doesn’t hurt that WordPress is written in PHP — the most popular programming language on the planet!
WordPress is easily extensible through the use of plugins. Many hundreds of plugins exist already. It’s also pretty easy (if you’re a developer) to write your own plugins. That’s a lot more elegant that directly hacking the WordPress code base.
Maintaining inlinks to former URLs can often be accomplished just by making the “post slugs” (filenames) consistent with the old site then adding a rewrite rule to the .htaccess file that maps to the new URL structure. If that’s not possible, you can always create a comprehensive list of 301 (permanent-style) redirects to add to your .htaccess file.
So I made my case for running WordPress on non-blogs, based primarily on the positive impact on SEO that you’ll get out of doing so. This rounds out the reasons for switching to include compelling reasons beyond just search rankings."
Is that something or what?
THE BREAKDOWN
So of you want to get more out of your site and be seen this is the way to go. You will want to make sure that you are using whatever technology the search engine spiders are using. This makes the most sense so you are talking back and forth with them. Now... I do like Blogger and Beta Blogger because it is owned by Google. So its good to have a fair mix of blogs working with you so you can be seen on the web.
The correct combinations of blog software, RSS Aggregators, Podcasting shows and the right distribution networks are going to ensure your success. There is no "right" formula for doing this. But you definately can get some real search engine attention with just the right amount of "pinging". This new material on using WordPress gives you an edge.
Its worth checking out.

Blogging Platforms - What Should I Use?
I get asked this question a lot and believe it or not I like Blogger. No no no, not because its easier to use. But because Blogger lets Google knows about me first. It is owned by Google so that makes it very convenient for them to find me.
Yes.... I like Blogger... Honest !!
The new features are good too. This new Beta version has some rather cool features on it and it allows others to find me - fairly quickly! And if you play your cards right, (face it, not many of us do) you can really ping yourself to the top of the line in front of your competition. Rather nifty I'd say.
A Word About TypePad
You can set up style sheets in TypePad which is nice. It has a very polished look about it and they seem to update their features a lot. You have to pay to use TypePad because it is integrated into a hosting system.
The nice thing is that when you do host with them monthly you get three Blogs to fiddle around with. You can read all about TypePad here......
"You don’t need to be a professional designer or spend thousands of dollars to have a great looking blog."
Thats a quote from their web page..... Thousands of dollars for a blog? lol
Dear me I should hope not !!!

Make Way For The New Podcast -- Professionals ??
USA Today had two interesting posts on Friday for the weekend edition. If you looked in the Marketplace Today section you will find some very interesting business ops for investors. One is for Online Marketing, (you can make $12k off each customer per year).... another one reads and offers to teach you how to create your own Online Marketing, RSS, Blogging, Podcasting business for $10,000.
These companies also boast that they created "millions" in sales. This is interesting to me since this is such a young industry, (with most of its innovations just begining less than 8 months ago). If you type in any of these names into Yahoo they barely make a register and this should be deemed as disturbing.
The point is that there are a lot of web sites out there which are marketed quite poorly. These include improper linking strategies and missing meta tag data information. There is plenty of room for growth.
But if you are going to invest that kind of money into a program you need to know the game. The problem with this type of invested is that its profound statements come up "missing" where it counts the most. That is to say -- they do not come up in Online searches.
BUYER BEWARE.
