Most of my visitors also land on a page other than the homepage so I like the idea of using that space to build readership!

Liked and followed as well!

Smile  Do you even sleep?

I'm a little too early to start trying to escape the rat race, but I have a serious interest in entrepreneurship so I will definitely keep checking in.

I personally have huge objection to sites that try to collect emails more prominently than providing some value first.

He really is providing value first if you consider how most people visit a site... they come in via search to a post, then many that like what they see will go to the homepage next. Too many blogs (including most of mine) still follow a worn out layout of latest post at the top of the page.

But really, can you say your latest post is always the best impression you can make to a new reader? In my case, with a roundup on Friday and nothing on the weekend, that roundup is the content I'm pushing to a new reader 3 out of 7 days. Why not impress them with my best content instead? Or convert them to a newsletter subscriber since they were already interested enough to make that second click to get to my homepage?

I think you opened my eyes. You are right. On my blog, not even 15% visit the home page. This makes more sense now Tom.

I love that StudioPress theme. I've been trying to come up with a good way to use it like you have.

But, I personally have huge objection to sites that try to collect emails more prominently than providing some value first. So my motto is give bigger piece and collect a smaller piece.

 

But, its me.. all the very best, another feather in your cap Robert!

I thought I was going to yawn. I see so many bad ugly sites but you my friend hit it nicely.

I like the concept! There just has to be a good market for this type of blog.

I'll follow you on Twitter.

I hope so!  There are a few similar blogs out there, but hopefully they'll take kindly to me!

Congrats on your new project! How can we help?  Awesome concept - there certainly seems to be a lot of people out there wanting to leave their jobs for greener pastures as the economy gets better.

 

I liked you on Facebook, and will follow you on Twitter once it's back up.. Twitter keeps crashing for me today. 

Thanks for the love!  Any promotion would be great.  If you love the free eBook or are looking to move towards entrepreneurship, check it out!
