I’m glad that Friday is finally here, because it has been one exhausting week (again). Go ahead and kick off your shoes, because it’s time to read some great posts from the blogosphere.

Martin Reed from Community Spark is always one to look a little outside of the box and his most recent blog post is no exception. He describes how your competitors can make you more money. Who knew that Coke and Pepsi could be such good bedfellows?

Courtney Tuttle says that he wants to subscribe to your blog, but you have to give him a reason. The post goes at length over how you can go about getting new subscribers to your blog, but the biggest piece of advice that he gives?
I (and the rest of your readers) want to feel I’m better off for having read your post. As a reader I’ve never said “That post was junk, but at least the author posts a lot.” Quality over quantity, folks.

Aimee from Foximus walks into Future Shop and is tempted to buy a new laptop. A $3000 infrared sauna would be nice too, but sometimes you just have to protect your savings from yourself. Remove the temptation and you won’t spend frivolously.

Derek Semmler is getting ready to take his blogging a little more seriously. He asks, “Have you attended a blogging conference?” He is striving to attend his first this year and he’s looking for any advice, feedback, and direction.

Cameron from Career Ramblings addresses a very common issue. Have you ever showed up at work and you’re already exhausted? That’s not a good thing, so be sure to check out Cameron’s post on how to keep your energy levels up throughout the work day.
