Looking for Your Name-Brand-Blog! Win my autographed best-seller!


Winner- Heather at Home!

Runner-Up (and only other “real” contestant): Kim of HighTechMom

Second Runner-Up (yes–it’s better late than never!): Teresa of Key Business Partners

So, You BOTH ALL will be getting an autographed copy of my book! Thanks for all the Empowerment–you did bring smiles, grins…and got me all blushin’ and stuff ;-) Thanks chickies! Your Brand-Name-Blogs Rock!

dog getting ready to bark- ruff!Okay…I’m having a couple of *ruff* (bark, bark) days :-P And well, it’s time for some link-lovin’ Ponn-Style posting goin’ on…just so I can get some good vibes racing ’round my world to help me feel better–or at least focus on the “good stuff”!

1. My Brain Pain all around bites the big-one! *ruff–I told u!*

2. I soooo wanna get back online…since being on bed-rest for now the 3rd-week can cause any normal person (let alone a Type-A chick) kinda restless!

3. In all honesty, I’ve watched my traffic drop and linger around numbers that’s quite disappointing..for the first-time ever, my alexa ranking is “wavering” here & there, yes….my technorati have gone up ;-)

Well, and my RSS feeds and ezine subscriptions are all all-time high!

And, these latter-two, are much more important to the “health” of my online business for the long-run, meaning if I ever *had* to sell, it–these are the 2 numbers that means the most anyways…yeah, butT…

I guess it’s your way of saying, you’re just waiting ’round to hop back online once I’m back..right!?

I can only make this assumption…

My point: It all comes down to “quality” and not “quantity”– With a caveat: From You! [Or, me...in this example!]

It comes around to “my internet brand” and yours!

And, EmpowerWomenNow.com is “branded Ponn Sabra”!

While we’re both finding helpful views and thoughts; long-time guest posts are not for us.

The problem is: Yes, I’m *not* up for work yet…so, please continue to be patient and welcome each guest blogger.

Another major thing holding me back…is, 10 days ago our laptop went to repair…hence, I can not sit at a PC for very long! I actually got more done with a laptop in bed.

Matt of The Article Writer wrote a very interesting post titled, “Guest Bloggers: Bounty or Bane?” You should definitely read this one word-for-word. Now, for me…my goal was always to “brand” this website/blog: Ponn Sabra. So, I fall in his category “You are an established blogger with a strong brand name”. I believe wholeheartedly that every single entrepreneur or small business owner should have at least one website/blog solely attached to your name-brand!

So, What’s Your Name-Brand-Blog & Why?

I want some thoughtful…I mean, *real* thoughtful comments/trackbacks to this question!

Here’s some spin-off questions to get you thinking:

  • What makes your name brand stick to your blog?
  • What IS your “name brand” to your blog? [Hey, some are Ms. ABC, or XYZ-dude]
  • Why are YOU sooooo special? Okay…you know what I’m talking about “your unique selling proposition”, “your niche-clincher”?]
  • Why do people (clients/colleagues/family and friends) love you? And, can’t wait til you come back?
  • What’s a big diddley-whoop about your blog and you? [Here's a "thoughtful" doozey of a question.
    • For example: Good Girl: I sell curtain hangers and well, I know why everyone in the world needs them because they are convenient, safe, long-lasting, beautiful, etc. So, you took a non-interesting product and showed me why you, your name, your blog, your business, your existence matters!
    • For example: Bad Boy: I sell envelope openers. You only need one. Buy the cheapest one from me...nice try! But, why? I love my envelope opener! I would buy one for everyone of my staff and family, because yours is so safe and comfortable to hold...with great safety measures, and nifty-thinga-gig to clip conveniently in my desk drawer so I never lose it. [BTW, false story! I'm still looking for one that has all these features. Are you an inventor? Start inventing then...and let me "brand your blog"! haa heee...]

Rules

  • I *will* read each and every single comment/trackback post I get…and, yes…I will be the sole–biased–judge to vote for what I see as the most unique, thoughtful, educated, well-researched, pensive, and FUN blog post regarding this topic–period! [Or exclamation-point :-( ]
  • Time-frame? At least until Monday, August 6, 2007…as its buying time for my web-chicks to get my new theme/layout ready to unveil hopefully on Tuesday, August 7, 2007…

Schmooze me…
