During this week’s Author Interviews with the Working Writer’s Coach, I talk with Esther Luttrell about her new book Dear Dean….Love, Mom.
About the Book:
Esther Luttrell is not a religious philosopher, or a psychic, or anything remotely like that-just a mother who lost her boy and who has been blessed by his presence from the Other Side.
“Dear Dean,
I know you’ve wondered if I would ever understand what it is you’ve been trying to tell me since the day you crossed over. In my missing you, in my desperate search for answers, I was so busy shouting why, why, why that I couldn’t hear your clear voice. This book, honey, is my wholehearted effort to share your messages-when I finally shut up long enough to hear them.”
-Esther Luttrell, Excerpt from Dear Dean…Love, Mom.

Become a Better Blogger

For the past couple of months I’ve gotten a bit distracted from blogging. There just seem to be so many other things to do, so many other things to write.
To get back on track, I recently decided to sign up for a 10-week blogging internship.
Actually, this internship is more of a self-study program that includes helpful audio files from blogger, Internet marketer, and coach Kelly McCausey where she explains different aspects of blogging and why and how all bloggers need to do these things.
If you’ve got the blogging blahs and you also need a little help to become a better blogger (and have fun as you do), then here’s what you can expect to learn from Kelly’s internship:
* Working with WordPress. WordPress is the most popular blogging software for a reason: it’s the most robust, best supported, and easiest to use blogging platform out there. During the internship you’ll learn everything you need to know about running a blog on WordPress.
* Developing a Daily Blogging Habit. Blogs – especially new blogs – need lots of love and attention. It’s nearly impossible to build a successful blog without committing to a daily posting schedule.
* Using Social Networks to Promote Your Blog. Social networks like Twitter and Facebook are important to the growth of your blog. In the Blogging Internship you’ll learn how to gain followers, and how to promote your blog to those followers without being called a spammer.
* Developing Relationships with Other Bloggers. Blogging is a social endeavor. You need to get out there and mingle with other bloggers in your niche grow your blog and your readership.
