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 ...

Secrets of a Successful Squeeze Page

Posted on Jan 3, 2008 - 5:02 PM Comments (0)

Lead generation is an important part of internet marketing. Using a well designed squeeze page can dramatically improve the number of leads you are able to generate. Got a new product you want to let the world know about? Why not send an enticing email to your ever growing list of email subscribers? There is no faster, cheaper, or more effective form of immediate advertising that I know of.

What is a squeeze page?

I should start at the beginning. A "squeeze" page is a landing page that requests the readers name and email address before they are able to ...

Discover the Art of Hypnotic Writing

Posted on Dec 27, 2007 - 4:22 PM Comments (1)

A few months ago I decided to look into, and learn about, internet marketing, affiliate sales & PPC (pay per click) techniques. The industry was interesting to me and I figured I could use my skills as a programmer to make me some extra cash on the side. I will write more on this in an upcoming post.

When I started learning I found that "writing" is the bread and butter of affiliate marketing & sales. I decided to educate myself and help improve my writing skills. I ran into a book titled "Hypnotic Writing" by Joe Vitale. I was a little ...
