How do you clearly send a message to the world, short of printing it on your forehead, that you are running a business as a blogger and that, as fun as it may be, you are not just in it for the fun, (unless you are of course, in which case this blog post might be handy a few months or years down the road when the idea of turning all your hard labor into a thriving business makes more sense then but no rush!)

Anyway, we all need incentives to be moved to action. Right? [Read more…] about How to Treat Your Blog Like a Business Not a Hobby
