		<description>Here&#039;s something you could try if you use Ezine Articles:
1. Dig around in your stats to see who is publishing your articles on their websites and who sends you the most traffic.
2. Contact those sites and offer them 1 original article per week.

I just did this. The website owner was really pleased that I contacted him and has offered a complete bio page on their website as well as having a bio paragraph at the end of each article.

I reckon this should generate a fair bit of extra traffic for my website.

What do you think of this approach?</description>

		<description>Robert,

I&#039;m glad you enjoyed the article. Like I mentioned in my comment to Reese, I just try and write about what&#039;s interesting to me. 

Finding branding role models/leaders/mentors like Steve Irwin or sharing resources like the article databases is all part of the fun. That&#039;s why I do what I do:)

Your stuff&#039;s not too shabby either friend!

		<description>Nice article Kam,

Very nice... It&#039;s definitely got me thinking about branding in a new light. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on the consulting/coaching opportunities.

		<description>Reese~

I&#039;m glad you dig the article. Let me attempt to answer your questions...

1) Hell yeah! I WAS and still get spooked by putting my stuff &quot;out there&quot;. When I first launched my website, I was a wreck. Yet people started showing up, I put more stuff out there and it gets easier everyday. I try and write articles that interest me, hoping that others will find them interesting too. I&#039;m always HONEST, and write from my heart. And I think that&#039;s what people find interesting/entertaining about my articles. I don&#039;t pretend to be something I&#039;m not.

2 &amp; 3) I usually stumble upon a site, blog, article or quote that inspires me and go from there. It&#039;s usually when I&#039;m surfing for something else, so I keep a file where I save interesting links that I can refer back to and save &#039;em for later if needed. Or I STOP what I&#039;m doing and just dive right in as inspiration strikes!

4) That&#039;s funny that you mention coaching people around this. I am heading down that road. I have several friends that build websites and I am putting together a one-sheeter of info for them to refer clients to me for those very services. I&#039;ll need to add the internet consulting/coaching info to my website as well. If you know anyone in need send them my way!

Reese, you are a model and mentor of authenticity in business for me and I appreciate your supportive feedback. Keep on rockin&#039; the bad-ass websites like you do!

		<description>Hi Kammie,
It should be no surprise I enjoyed this article of yours. I have a couple of questions that may help both me and other readers:

1. When you started, were you scared people would think you were a fraud or somehow unqualified? (I ask this NOT because I think it of you, but because it&#039;s actually a personal fear that many people struggle with). 

2. How do you figure out what to write about?

3. How do you do your research to supplement your articles? (You&#039;re always citing great other quotes, sites, etc). I would imagine that research 
can get time consuming!

4. (a random idea for you).  You could COACH people on this stuff--getting online exposure, what to write about, where to go, etc. I can totally see it@</description>
