@ Jennifer – Thank you very much. And I always welcome any luck folk send me.

@ Daniel – Thank you.

@ Patricia – Thank you very much. I’m glad you’ve been finding my blog useful and that you’re persisting with SU.

@ John – You have a point. I guess it’s always better to get the .com domain, if you can. But I suppose it would depend who your target market is. When the exchange rate was $2 to the pound, it just wasn’t profitable at all for folk from the uk, to sell to people in the US.

It can be tough trying to write a newsletter and a blog at the same time. Before I discontinued my newsletter though, I found that it was bringing me more cash per visitor than the blog alone, which is why I’m reintroducing it.

Plus, a newsletter is a great way to remind folk that your blog is there. If you were thinking of starting one, I would write a few posts in advance and only publish your newsletter once a week. And try not to promote a product in more than one in three newsletters.

Hi Dennis – thank you.

Hi Robin – thank you very much. I love reading your stuff too – it really has opened up a whole world that I hadn’t even considered.

Cath has been very helpful to me as a blogger, with her support and encouragement, which I really, really appreciate – and I love the way she writes. I hope all her dreams come true!

I’ve crossed over and plan to subscribe to her as well.

In reference to something you mentioned to Scott about how being in the UK doesn’t really hurt you as far as being more visible in the US and attracting US-Based advertisers, however, I would think if you chose a TLD (domain name ending like .com or .net) local to your country this could be an issue (geez, that was all one sentence!).

For example, if you chose cathlawson.uk you probably wouldn’t have nearly as much Google love as cathlawson.com because your site wouldn’t show up in as many searches here in the US.

Here’s a question for you. Don’t you feel a newsletter (like one using Aweber) is just another form of a blog? I mean, people can subscribe to your blog via email. I’m trying to figure what real advantage a newsletter can have if you author a blog at the same time other than possibly giving out some exclusive offers. At least with a blog you can converse and if you don’t want to converse, you could turn off comments.

Any thoughts?

I got a 100 posts done for my birthday in the fall…good for me!

And I am taking the SU tutorial you suggested and finally got on and have completed my second lesson – have 2 friends there…thank you for persisting.

I am indebted to you for all your suggestions and offerings, I just have to keep going back to the archives because I am so slow at this stuff…glad it is still there and that you are too!
