First off, the link that I will provide is to a sales page. From there, you can scroll down to the download link to get the book Psychological Triggers for free. (As of this writing, you do not have to provide your e-mail address to download it.)

Second, I am not partnered with or an affiliate of the guys that provide the book for free. I don’t link directly to the book because they took the time to put together a list of excellent recourses and I didn’t want to bypass that excellent list.

So anyways, first go to the Sale page at Seminar.org. Scroll down to see the link for a free copy of Joe Sugarman’s “Psychological Triggers: How to Take Complete Control of Your Prospects Mind– and Influence Them to Buy What You’re Selling”.

So who is Joe Sugarman? Well he’s perhaps one of the top three copywriters in the world. He’s known for introducing to the world the sunglasses Blu Blockers. And he’s an excellent writer of the art of copywriting and selling. And you would be a fool not to at least check out what he has to say. Below are links to books by Joe Sugarman. By all means, feel free to buy from those links.

No time to write an in depth post. But if you do one thing today related to SEO, download and install Aaron Wall’s new Rank Checker tool for Firefox.

He just released it yesterday and it looks to be a great free tool for your SEO arsenal.

Okay, I’m throwing around the idea of vlogging in the future. Vlogging is essentially blogging by video. The one thing that has prevented me from doing a video post is time. In order to produce a quality video to post on the web, you’ll need to devote some time to film and edit. Much more so than simply writing a post.

But money? That’s not a problem. No, it’s not because I’m rolling in it. Yet. It’s because you can do it with a small budget that won’t break your wallet.

Sarah Myers over at Pop17 recently posted a video entitled How to Make a Web Show. She shows the viewer how inexpensive the equipment necessary to produce a high quality show can be. It almost makes me think I can go out there and be a “star”. Unfortunately for me, I’ve got a face for podcasting.

The other day I was reading a post from Teckh on posting to your blog using Google Docs. At first I wondered why do that? Wouldn’t it be easier to just post from within your blog’s own system? But after some thought, I came up with a couple of reasons why this is a good idea.

Use Google Docs as an Idea Repository

If you are like me, ideas for posts come fast and furious. Unfortunately, time limitations and motivation sometimes get in the way. So when those ideas come, just create a document in Google Docs to sketch out the post idea, then come back at a later when you have time to flesh the post out. Why not just save those ideas in draft form you ask? You can do that for sure, but too many draft articles may be unmanageable. And lets face it, you may not end up posting some of those draft posts, thereby cluttering up your system.

Use Google Docs to Create Your Pillar Post

Pillar Article, Flagship Content, Cornerstone Content … they are all the same. They take time. And some editing. Saving those posts in draft form within your blog platform is just not suitable. With Google Docs, you can take time to create your opus. Think. Write. Edit. And when your masterpiece is ready. Publish.

These are just two quick reasons why using Google Docs to post to your blog is a good idea. Bavatuesdays gives a nice step by step illustration on how to do so.

UPDATE: I used Google Docs to publish this post to SemiProBlogging.  And like Teckh’s experience, the post Title did not port over, despite my indicating that I wished it so. Thus, I had to go into WordPress and edit it in. Thus, for those posts that you are ready to do in one sitting, Google Docs would not be the method of choice.
