I’ll bet you’re wondering, “Do I need a small business blog?”

Before I answer that, let me ask you a few questions.

  2. Would you like to be seen as a leader in your market or niche?
  3. Do you find that you’re answering the same questions over and over again with your customers?
  4. If you do have a Website, would you like to receive 55% more traffic than your competitors?

Corel PaintShop Pro Guide for Bloggers

Corel PaintShop Pro is a great alternative to Photoshop for writers and bloggers. You need pictures on your site to explain things and to make your writing interesting.

I use Corel PaintShop Pro because it fits my needs. It is easier and cheaper to use than a heavy-duty program like Photoshop. Also, you don’t have to be on a subscription to use it.

If you’re a professional graphic artist, then Photoshop is a wise investment. When you are making money as a professional then you should invest in the best you can get.

Hands down Photoshop is the overlord of graphics programs.  So if you’re making a living creating graphics, then you should get it.

But for those of us that need a program to blog with, it can be…overkill. You don’t need a program that is massive to get the job done.

Writer’s block is a serious problem with many writers.

Here’s the usual scenario…

You’ve had it in your brain all day that you need to write.  Finally, you set your buttocks down at your laptop and stare at the screen.

Now it’s time to do something.

Ugh…

Nothing is coming. So you start snooping around on the Internet in a vain attempt to find ideas that will give you inspiration.  Oh, while you’re at it, you need to check on your email and glance at Facebook; you really don’t want to miss out on anything important – and it’ll only take a few minutes.

2 hours later, you still haven’t written anything and you’re frustrated. Not only that, but you have other pressing matters of the day that you can’t ignore.

You’ve got a lot of movement but no effect…Yeah, writer’s block is setting in.
