Nearly 4 Years In and I Still Suck At Writing Blog Posts

Posted on Oct 9, 2010 - 12:22 AM Comments (0)

I first registered the domain name PeterSanchez.com back in 2005 and pretty much had a blog up ever since.

In 2007 I switched from WordPress to Serendipity because I wanted to use PostgreSQL as the database (holy war flame bait, but I f'n hate MySQL!) and WordPress didn't have the support for it.

A few months after that I started to learn a web development framework named Django. Well like any normal developer learning Django my first project was a blogging platform and so I soon switched the platform, yet again, from Serendipity to my personally developed ...

Yeah... I've Been Hiding Out...

Posted on Feb 13, 2010 - 7:21 PM Comments (2)

Yea, I sort of quit blogging the last few months. Not because I don't have anything to write about or that I think it's a waste of time. Even if it was a waste of time, the real issue is I haven't had much of just that... uh, time that is. No time.

I have a list of blog post ideas in my iPhone that I just haven't had time to write them up. I also have a list of like 4 or 5 products that I think would sell really well but just no time ...

So You Want To Write A Sales Letter Huh?

Posted on Jan 13, 2009 - 11:35 AM Comments (1)

I have been re-reading one of my favorite books titled "The Ultimate Sales Letter" by Dan Kennedy. This is probably the 3rd time I've read it in the last 18 months and like most of the books Dan has written, I can't read it enough.

All of us, everyone of us on this planet, does some sort of selling every day. Think about it. We sell our products, skills, and services but it doesn't end there. Ever ask a woman (or man) out on a date? Been on a job interview? Bug your spouse for your favorite ...

I Can Control You With My Words

Posted on Jul 15, 2008 - 3:23 PM Comments (0)

I've written in the past about Hypnotic Writing. Since I found the book by Joe Vitale I have been very interested in learning more about the science behind it and how I can increase my profit from it.

Today I stumbled across a very useful reference article. I suggest you read it if you are interested in this sort of writing technique. In fact the guys entire blog is one great big resource for this particular subject.

It's fairly obvious from my blog posts that I am no great writer. I'm not even a good one. The ...

The Business of Blogging And Why You're Missing Out

Posted on Jun 13, 2008 - 12:55 PM Comments (0)

This blog is more of a personal blog and I only write about things that interest me. You can tell from the limited, and specific, categories I have for this blog that this is more of a "small town" blog and I hope it has a "small town" feel. The reason is I want to be able to connect with any of my readers. I would like them to feel like they know me a little bit and get a handle on my personality. I am basically the same person on and off line. The good, bad and ugly.

Have Your Visitors Eating From The Palm Of Your Hand

Posted on May 31, 2008 - 10:35 AM Comments (0)

Ever wonder how you can build a relationship with your website visitors? If not, you should be.

Fact: People buy from people they trust. Building a rapport with your visitors is a sure fire way to turn that visitor into a customer. It's not as difficult as it sounds. I don't mean getting into a personal first name basis with every one of your visitors. That's impossible. But there are ways of building rapport and trust with your visitors. As someone doing business online, this is absolutely vital.

I've written in the past about ways to ...

Fortune & Fame ... Becoming A Rock Star

Posted on Feb 26, 2008 - 10:35 PM Comments (0)

Ever wanted to be a rock star? I think we all have at one point. I mean, what's not to love about it. They rock on stage, party all night and have their pick of the hottest ladies at the show. Sure that all seemed great when we were younger but what about becoming a modern day rock star?

What is a modern day rock star?

Good question. That could probably be defined as any one who truly stands out in their industry. For instance, Michael Arrington could be considered a rock star in the blogging world for the ...

Getting Rich Quick - Online

Posted on Jan 30, 2008 - 3:23 PM Comments (1)

I stumbled across an article today titled How To Make $1,000,000 By Blogging. It's an awesome read and pretty funny through out the entire piece. It's basic outline is that you use the money you make from your blogging to buy lottery tickets to win $1,000,000+.

The moral of the story is that blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. I've written before about how I plan to make a million bucks this year and in the post I give an outline of my overall plans to achieve this goal. A lot ...

Tips From The Career of Howard Stern

Posted on Jan 17, 2008 - 12:33 PM Comments (1)

No I don't mean lesbian dial-a-date or porn star game shows. Anyone who actually listens to The Howard Stern Show knows that there is so much more to the show than the "shock" bits he has gotten a bad name for. The bottom line is, the man has a HUGE following and it's not only because of his on air antics.

Last week Howard celebrated his 2 year anniversary at Sirius satellite radio. He took the company, threw it on his back, and sky rocketed them to being the satellite radio provider.

During the Christmas break, they played ...

RSS Feeds That Fatten Your Wallet

Posted on Jan 9, 2008 - 7:24 PM Comments (5)

I've received a few emails asking what RSS feeds I read regularly. I figured it would be a fun post to list the feeds I read and why. So without further delay, here is my list of subscribed RSS feeds (all the links below will link to their RSS feeds, not their websites).

Marketing / Affiliate

Dosh Dosh - I found this one about a year ago accidently. There are some very well written posts on this blog. They are usually long and very informative.

Chris Bloczynski - I recently found this guy's blog and it's been a good read ...
