Bloggers: Learn How to Nab Eyeballs & Peacefully Win the “War” from a Pro, the “Copyblogger”

If you’re a fellow blogger, you always yearn for more traffic, right?
To garner more fans and followers, I heartily urge you to read this fabulous post from Copyblogger, “Your Blog vs. The World: 7 Steps to Winning the War for Attention.”
Blogger Jonathan Morrow eloquently presents the plight facing us bloggers.
We’re waging four battles at once, including “against anything that distracts your reader from making it all the way through your content,” Jonathan explains.
“Here, you’re at war against the world. You’re up against the child that knocked over her apple juice onto the rug, the dog barking to go outside, the phone ringing at work, and the e-mail that just arrived in their inbox.”
Read the Copyblogger’s thoughtful eight-pronged solution so you can win the blogging battle and get your posts read from start to finish.
This post sure provoked me to thought — and to action. For instance, I need to think about a strategic content plan. Dear readers, let’s hope it does the same with you!

Cookies Abounded at a Conference, But I Passed Them Up. What Could You Do to Resist?

Today, I was at an authors’ conference all day long, and junk food abounded. In fact, as the day
progressed, the sugary snacks came out more often!
It never fails to amaze me how events that are supposed to help authors or entrepreneurs serve such
incredibly low-caliber snacks that actually diminish your brain capacity. (And we were supposed
to think bigtime about our books, our audiences and even our blog readers — that means you!)
So how did I resist all those cookies that conspired to land in my stomach?
First of all, these days, resisting sweets is a really simple, happy habit that I now have. I’m so used to a healthy lifestyle that having sweets just isn’t even an option. And, much to many people’s amazement, it does not bother me that I have to turn the stuff down.

Agave: Is It a Safe Sweetener Alternative? I Recommend Skipping It

Agave nectar has become quite controversial of late. Lately, many people — especially folks who are concerned about their health — have been eagerly consuming it, but I believe they’re doing so without knowing the full facts.
After repeated questions from people about whether or not they can safely consume agave, I posted on this Sugar Shock Blog, most recently here and before that, here.
My conclusion? Briefly, I’m really wary of this sweetener, which is really high in fructose. I have too many questions about agave.
To put it bluntly, I won’t ever consume agave since I know about the dangers of fructose, which I learned more about last weekend from Dr. Richard Johnson at a Food Addiction Summit in Washington state.
Richard (I got to know him while hiking there) is the author of the fascinating book, The Sugar Fix: The High Fructose Fallout That Is Making You Fat and Sick.
