I’ve been really enjoying your comments and I appreciate your participation so much, I’ve decided to have some fun called Comment Cash.
First, I’m not “buying comments”. Everyone who knows me even a little bit knows I’m very generous and giving. One way I can express that is to give back to those hang out on my blog and help continues its success (I give away a LOT of stuff; this is just one more thing). So… here comes Comment Cash:
And, you get some added attention when you win because people will want to read your comment. I’ll announce the cash-getters on LinkyTools Twitter so I don’t have to write a blog post just for that. You’ll love my tweets anyway, so sign up. Check out the Comment Cash page here… I already announced the first winner.
PS: WHAT ARE YOUR QUESTIONS FOR ME? Ask here. Want to book me for training, speaking or business consulting? Go here. If you benefitted from this post, would you be so kind to share this post with others by clicking one of the SHARE buttons?

MAN you’re desperate!
I tried to read what you have in your blog but you do not even practice what you preach.
20 years of “Experience” and 10 years of blogging and your blog is ranked at the bottom of the pit.
Way to go!
Unsubscribing.
PS I KNOW that you will not be publishing that comment. I just wanted you to know my opinion and I am sure you have received lots of similar emails.
John. I’d love to publish your comment. Perhaps some of the many tens of thousands of readers and subscribers I have across my various sites and blogs might enjoy it. This blog was just launched in January. It has page rank of 4 and going on a thousand subscribers… what would be enough to win your approval after 6 weeks? Thanks for unsubscribing. I wouldn’t want you leveling the same type of criticism at other readers on this blog. Sheesh…. BR
Brent,
I enjoy reading your posts and I comment when something is relevant to me or when I can ask a question. You have been marvelous at answering questions and that is what is important I think – relationships.
I am enjoying using the Linky Tools and have met some wonderful faith filled people.
I have to make sure that I don’t get carried away in linking here and there and get sidetracked from writing – I believe that is what God has called me to do – regardless of “sales”.
Blessings on your ministry,
Janis
Thanks Janis, I appreciate your kind comments. Good writing (content) is the basis of a good blog, so yes, stay focused on that. BR
Launched in January..has page rank of 4 and going on a thousand subscribers .. uh.. if that doesn’t deserve a FIST PUMP, I don’t know what does!
And.. I second that sheesh!
Thank you for blessings such a blessings to ALL of us!
Thanks Keren… some people just aren’t happy if they aren’t tearing down someone else’s effort. BR
How about fist pumping $10 in Comment Cash! Congrats! Email me and I’ll paypal it to you… BR
I am going to try your suggestion to publish this comment from my website. You are the most helpful person I know and not sure why that commenter has a problem.
Here I go.

This is going to be a rather lengthy comment – thanks so much for the valuable information you continue to provide! My first encounter with you was when I was looking for a way to publish my blog in book form. You were quick to respond and provided a great product for me. I read you nearly every day, though I rarely comment. I have been struggling with my blog – as in, do I continue it? I started it in an effort to showcase some of my photography and to hone my writing skills. However, I quickly got sucked into the vortex of subscribing to too many blogs that are a nice quick read, but rarely had a lot of substance, hoping to gain more readers for my own blog. Now I am in that black hole and the only way I could figure out how to get out of it was to stop blogging. How do I manage that without offending nice people?
Linda, thanks for the nice comments. I realized a long time ago that anyone can get online but few will excel at genuinely good customer service because the word “serve” is not a common trait anymore. Yes, absolutely, my blogging and sites are a business – for profit – but my goal has always been to succeed and make money by treating people right and serving them.
I’m not sure what you mean exactly by your question… you want to stop blogging without offending people? Who would you offend? Or do you mean you want to quit spending so much time reading other blogs and commenting on them without offending people?
The fact is this: there are millions of blogs. We have to be discerning about our time. Pick a few blogs that really benefit you, and by participating on them you help YOU and you help THEM. It’s like charity… you can’t possibly give to every needy cause or alleviate all suffering. You have to choose a few things to be a part of, and be satisfied with what you can do.
Are you planning to quit blogging? Or just wondering how to get it under control and back to being enjoyable? Anyone else have advice for Linda?
Your blog is extremely helpful – I read it even though I rarely comment. Thank you for the useful tools you provlde. (I left a rather lengthy response using my iPad and somehow, it never would submit, so hopefully this is not a duplicate!)
I don’t mind duplicates… it means I get two chances to consider your comments.
I always look forward to your tips. You arrive in my email box (I hope you are cozy in there). Thank you for the giveaway opportunity, Hugs!!
Katherine,
I moderate posts so they don’t appear immediately. Thanks for the kind compliment… Brent
I take time and read your posts. Most of them help me, others motivate me. Thank you for that and helping the little bloggers out.
Thank YOU for taking time to send that nice note to me. I think you are going to love the book I’m about to publish in a few days. Stay tuned… BR
My first time here, did not even know anything about blogs or Linky just 2 weeks ago!!

Thank you Kate. Welcome aboard. You’ve certainly come to the right place to learn about blogging. You’ll love the tips I’ll be sending you via email… very practical and easy to understand! Your English is just fine… how is your English reading comprehension? BR
Today was my first day to your site too after my issue with the blog hop that I am cohosting. Boy do I have a ton to learn!!! I LOVE blogging and sharing all of my homesteading and herbalism ideas with people. While I am no great writer, I just blog as if talking to my friends! Thank you for all the good info here.

Good to have you around Anne-Maria… you’ve found a great place to learn what you need to know. BR
Personally, I like coming to your blog if only to read the comments. I guess it’s to see something in your blog that I’m not seeing, but I don’t comment really because I really don’t have anything to say at this point until today. That person… John? He’s a hoot! And I must compliment you on keeping your cool, and putting him in his place so gracefully and it cracked me up. You’re such a gentleman I must say. Personally, I probably would’ve proved I was a truck driver’s daughter. lol Well, you know what I mean. Guess he was just showing his limited intelligence, and I would say jealousy. I never claimed to be smart, and I need all the help I can get on most things, but personally I liked you from the beginning because… well, how does that old saying go? It’s better to give than receive, and you just keep on giving to so many. Keep up the good work Brent. Don’t worry I was raised in Mayor Daley’s neighborhood. I got your back!~ Marie
