Blogging with Character and Leave Botox Blogging Behind

By Rhett Soveran • Mar 28th, 2008

This is absolutely the worst moment that I should be blogging. I have had a terrible, stressful week. I had hopes of a big payoff—a house for me and my wife. However, all the stress was for nothing more than a learning experience. We did not get the house. So [...]



Titles or Opening Lines?

By Rhett Soveran • Feb 27th, 2008

I hate titles. Okay, I don’t hate them. I am extremely apathetic towards titles. Ever since I was a younger I never cared about titles, especially with music. I can’t even tell you the titles of some of my favourite songs. I know it’s track 8, but I have no [...]



All Bloggers are Liars

By Lee Robertson / Rhett Soveran • Feb 20th, 2008

It’s time for another one of those joint posts. I have to admit that Lee came up with the title. Lee is great at coming up with brilliant titles. I have no patience for them. The first part is by myself, Rhett and Lee follows.
There are a couple core ideas that [...]



Blogging in the Microwave Age

By Rhett Soveran • Feb 15th, 2008

Today, we are concrete. Today we are looking at writing and writing well. Today we are examining DigiKev and we see what this marvelous man can tell us about our writing.
I quickly came home for lunch yesterday to leave a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my wife to find when she [...]



Avoid Failure by Capturing Your Audiences Attention

By Rhett Soveran • Feb 11th, 2008

You have to love language. You have to love communicating in order to succeed.
I noticed a certain pattern in my posts over the last month and a half—writing about the status blogging and then giving (mostly) abstract ideas on how to change. Today I am doing more of the same. [...]



Who Are We as Bloggers?

By Rhett Soveran • Feb 6th, 2008

I was born on the prairies with solid ground beneath my feet. From time-to-time, I visited lakes and swimming pools, but there were no oceans any where close to me. Two years ago I visited Florida and for the first time in my life I swam in the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn’t [...]



Add Some Spice and New Perspective to Your Blog

By Rhett Soveran • Jan 28th, 2008

I was out for coffee last week, bouncing ideas off my good friend Leif and I came to the conclusion that we bloggers are a bit boring some times. Even the spiciest of us aren’t that spicy. We stick to first person. We tell stories and we tell our opinions. I [...]



Bring the Audience to You

By Rhett Soveran • Jan 23rd, 2008

First thing, let me just say, that I am completely aware that I am not helping myself or getting any street cred for having a picture of Dane Cook.
Last night I was working on the free eBook that we will be releasing soon for our subscribers. Actually, I wanted to have it ready for [...]



Ten Things Teletubbies Can Teach You About Blogging

By Rhett Soveran • Jan 18th, 2008

Here are ten things that I learned from watching Teletubbies that you can apply to your blog:

Make up your own language.
Listen to the giggling sun baby.
Be more non-communicative.
Use more bright colours to relate with toddlers.
Treat your audience like they are toddlers because they probably won’t get what you are talking about anyway since you are [...]



A Great New Way to Blog for 2008: Conversation

By Rhett Soveran • Jan 11th, 2008

Epiblogger has been open for little over a week and I have already screwed up. I just got a little bit too excited and I got ahead of myself. I started talking about writing and I didn’t even introduce myself. It was rude and I am sorry. Let me take a [...]
