Are you like most people? You’ve been given snippets of information about StumbleUpon but lack a coherent plan? Maybe you only set up an SU profile because your favorite internet marketing maven says that you should. You read various blog posts and forum comments which tell you to do this and do that so you write down and try the stuff you’re told. Maybe you stumble a few sites, add some friends and submit some sites just to “cover the bases.”

But is any of this working for you? Can you honestly say you know what you’re doing?

If not, don’t feel bad because most of us are either in or have been in your same situation. But there IS help for you!

This is a topic that’s near and dear to my heart because it seems like nearly everybody you ask this question to has a slightly different answer. I realize this is probably because sharp people (like my readers) will take a “system” and adapt it to their particular situation rather than trying to force an “out of the box” solution to work for them.

So, here’s your opportunity to be heard, help me understand what’s working for you and, if you’re part of Disqus, write some content that ends up on your FriendFeed for all your followers to see.

If you would leave a comment below and tell us what has been working for you and what hasn’t, we all stand to learn from it.

That is the ultimate goal of any community, isn’t it?

Best,

I’ve been following along with the ThirtyDayChallenge pre-season and I wanted to make a short post of something that has already paid me dividends-using Google Reader to read my daily blog feeds and so much more.

Oh, and did I mention you can put your FriendFeed on it too?

Since Ed Dale is a much better spokesman, I’ll let him explain how incredibly powerful this tool is.

A tough loss and a lesson

If you’re a tennis fan and you watched the Wimbledon men’s final last Sunday, you probably already know that it is going to go down in history as one of the greatest matches ever played. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal squared off in a contest that was nothing short of best vs best. Federer was going for a record sixth straight Wimbledon title and Nadal was looking to complete his installation into the ranks of the tennis elite.

After losing two straight sets to Nadal, they were at 5-4 in the third set when the first of the rains set in. After an hour and twenty minutes they resumed.

What happened from that point has left most commentators speechless and fans needing a sedative.

Federer battled back and won the third and fourth sets both by tie-breakers but lost the final set 9-7. After the match, Nadal cried and Federer, who normally is very gracious in victory or defeat, was at a complete loss for words.

Did I just convert this blog to a tennis blog without telling you? No. Rather, I want to make sure that you walk away with some very important life and business lessons from this contest.

Say It Isn’t So!

One of the things that I hear from readers all the time when asked about their experience on my site is they appreciate the no-nonsense internet marketing and business advice I share with them. They like that I sift through the information on the web and bring them fresh, relevant content that I think they need to have to be successful. They also like my unique insights on everything from multitasking to relaxation.

However, one of the things I hear them say is missing is fun. Fun? Isn’t life all about internet marketing? Really? Just kidding. My answer? Guilty as charged!

Since this blog started seven months ago, I have grown as a blogger, writer and internet marketer. I am always trying to improve myself and my endeavors. Unfortunately, this has given me tunnel vision and I believe it is holding this blog back from getting to the next level. Let me explain.
