@atlantarobin Is there a catch? That seems like a strong pitch for a free product. They must be adding people to a massive mailing list. 

Sorry, but I’m haven’t a hard time getting on line lately.

Kristi, yes, many marketers sponsor free wso’s in exchange for your email in order to build their lists. I go to WarriorPlus and do a “free” search under Track WSO’s about once a week (up till my computer problems happened). There are ALWAYS some really good FREE offers there, but you have to go through so many grundgy worthless ones to find the good… it’s just not worth it to me to go look daily.

I don’t know this guy, but HIS plugin looks great and the Author Blurb Widget that puts the nice Boxed photo and author info on your sidebar is one of the best I’ve seen. 

Honestly, I hooked up my Authorship thangy so long ago I can’t remember how I did it, but it was definitely BEF?ORE all thse cool widgets came out.

But I thanky, thanky for the authorship link… as I’m trying to build a database of resources like this… which is why I go seek the wso freebie info weekly. I’ve been there so long now that I usually recognize the good and bad names so I do it faster than I used to. Still, it’s a “waiting” chore… with too many required clicks to just find out what the heck you’re looking at.

Hi all,

I’m finding a problem with Google products is that I use different email addresses for different things. Most notably, I set up analytics and youtube using my @gmail.com address, but now am putting most of my writing effort towards my @splistrategy.com.au address.

I have people adding my splitstrategy email address to their circles, etc. The circles function has removed the need to have different email accounts.

What’s the best way to reconcile it all?

(I’m down with the idea that using authorship on my SPLITstrategy address is great for ranking that site – it’s more a broader question about bringing together my gmail juice with my SPLIT strategy juice)

All suggestions welcome – really hoping the question makes sense.

Matt, after I pondered what you said a bit… I agree that that’s quite a quandry… or it should be pondered… by everyone.

I mean, I advise real estate AGENTS to market THEIR individual names… so all their efforts will be transportable and follow them regardless of broker. Same for hair stylists, tattoo artists, doctors, lawyers or any professional or specialist.

Their personal name first… employer or contractor next, if they must. Of course, employers tend to try to contract their way through this, as they should in order to protect their investment in that employee or contract. 

Still, out there in the wide, wide world of unemployment, I don’t think anyone disagrees… market your own name continuously, promote your employer on a reasonable schedule. (Shhhhhh… but whisper that softly… so no one hears, lol).
