I'm out of the cave, back in saddle and ready to rock and roll again with all of you. About 60 days ago, I signed out, took a break from &lt;a href="www.oddpodz.com"&gt;Oddpodz&lt;/a&gt; and just about everything else to finish my 2nd book &lt;a href="http://www.mcgrawhill.ca/highereducation/product/0071775285/"&gt;Brand Turnarounds: How Brands Gone Bad Return to Glory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; (McGraw-Hill 2012).&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oddpodzrss/~4/HGNG0Bk47-U" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

And with that type of competition growing everyday, is the effort worth the prize? What makes a blog a rewarding a home run? and are you still wondering how to attract more visitors to your blog? &lt;strong&gt;We are too.&lt;/strong&gt; I did some research regarding this matter and there’s a lot of opinion on the subject. Some say sell advertising, some say to blog every day, some say to not write more than 200 words so the audience doesn’t get bored, others suggest tightly niche your content and others say wake up the dead with extreme controversy.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oddpodzrss/~4/35xQ7YpiXqE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

&lt;a href="http://www.heywire.com/"&gt;HeyWire&lt;/a&gt;, the new Facebook app for texting in one place, may be the perfect option for you. &lt;a href="http://www.heywire.com/"&gt;HeyWire&lt;/a&gt;, a service that has been offering free SMS (short message service) and recently partnered with Twitter to develop &lt;a href="http://blog.heywire.com/2010/12/announcing-heytweets-%E2%80%93-heywire-users-can-access-twitter-via-sms-for-free-from-anywhere-in-the-world/"&gt;HeyTweet&lt;/a&gt;, is now debuting it’s &lt;a href="http://blog.heywire.com/2011/03/heywire-hits-facebook-the-first-facebook-app-for-texting-and-tweeting-via-sms/"&gt;Facebook application&lt;/a&gt; that allows users to send both texts and tweets from a cell phone (while using Facebook, of course).&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oddpodzrss/~4/KI6pjOSHExg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Stop what you are doing!  Take the pulse on your personal brand, today. It's fast and painless. Add up all the No's and then total them.  If your total higher than 2 you've got some work to do. Earned a low score, below 2, Go Celebrate! These tips were part of a talk I gave this morning at the Southeastern Entrepreneur Conference. Thank you University of Tampa Entrepreneurship Center for hosting such as awesome event.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/oddpodzrss/~4/69xOKOBh2KE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
