Learning Internet Marketing

I read about an artist in another country who wanted to make a living selling her paintings. So she came up with a very creative method of attracting interest. Every week, she creates a video showing her in the process of doing her painting.

I think I would also keep track of the topic, since my titles aren't always terribly descriptive. Then he re-uses the older content on his autoresponder. Often people don't read your old posts, especially when you've got a lot of content that stretches over years. So it's a good way to get those evergreen (still current) topics back into circulation. Now it's your turn. How do you keep track of your posts and re-use older content?

But when I started online, I had a blog about Canada, a blog about computers, a blog about myself and on and on. See where I'm going with this? I started off calling myself TorontoCarol and that's how I'm known on the Internet marketing forums. After all, I'm a native Torontonian and Carol is a very common name otherwise. Even Carol Bremner is owned by people I've found out about online from England and Australia (none of them related and one I wouldn't want to be mistaken for). So TorontoCarol was fine for the forums and worked well with my Canada blog. But I have a company blog too. TorontoCarol doesn't sound very professional. There I
