Alright, well, I know he emailed me to let me know I had a broken link in a post. And I know he was interested in what that link led to, which made me think well of him, so I emailed him back. In less than 5 emails, in fact. This is perhaps my most important rule of thumb, whether writing books, blog posts, or emails.

Things I didn’t get done that day, emails I meant to send, bills I haven’t paid, posts I haven’t written, product launch process – they all keep me awake in the wee small hours. The good part of waking up then is that I’ll often write whole blog posts or emails in my head, and they’re generally quite good.

This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. I don’t know who wrote them and why they thought they had the right to sit before a keyboard and litter the Web with, um, substandard writing. So it’s a good exercise, although a bit painful.

I’m not talking about the manuals that promote get-rich-quick schemes or dodgy products peddled by snake-oil salespersons. No matter what the topic is, before you put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, be sure that you have the qualifications to write about whatever you are about to share. The problem? Reply Go ahead.

Sonya – I do have to admit that most people who email me their resume and quote an English degree tend to have some of the worst writing in the world… Not sure why that is, actually. If you’d like to be the first, please email me at steve@ionleap.com and ask me. Wish I knew. I’d really appreciate it, seriously.

It’s a contradiction in that we want to use the vehicle to promote ourselves, but that same vehicle is used for piracy. Just once in a while… I find I have those moments as well, and if you’re not right there with the pen or the keyboard, then you’ve lost it. It’s funny. Just grasp that moment, eh?
