I'm Not Going to Gen Con Indy This Year. Unless...

Hey there.  As the title suggests, I do not plan on attending Gen Con Indy this year and I am extremely disappointed.  Gen Con Indy is scheduled from August 15th through the 18th and I was hoping that I would be able to raise enough funds to get a plane ticket over there and enjoy my 4 day press pass.  But alas, it's not meant to be.  Why?  Well... 2 things actually.  I haven't been as active as I would like to have been online these past few months due to me getting things together in my personal life.  Second, because of that, I haven't earned as much online income as I would have hoped so there simply are no funds available for me to use to get to Indy.

July Fitness Challenge and 30 Day Exercise Challenge

A little Instagram Fun
Hey there.  I have been gone for the past week or so.  I took some much needed time off from work (both my day job and my online job) and now I feel refreshed and ready to go!  But during that time off, I decided that it's time to get back into shape.  I took on The Hero Rush and The Gladiator Rock'n Run last year and I felt like I wouldn't be able to complete those challenging obstacle courses today.  That's why, I took on the July Fitness Challenge that my wife started doing.  First off, the July Fitness Challenge is more of an Instagram thing (Follow me here).  You take a picture everyday about the topic at hand.  The thing with this one, though, is that most of it is fitness related so it pushes you to work out.  I thought it was an easy enough challenge to get back on track.  But then, the wife and I also decided to do a separate fitness challenge on the side.  You do a set of exercises every day for the month.  Check out the 30 Day challenge below:

SEO for Higher Ranking in Search Engines

Hey there.  The rewards of proper implementation of search engine optimization practices to a website are plentiful. Good SEO makes sure that your website reaches the audience intended and performs well in search engines. However, if you are pushing a local product or service, you may need specialized SEO services from someone that understands your particular need. For example, if you are pushing a product that has a special significance to the area your are in, major wholesale SEO companies may not do the trick. Web.com local SEO services will put you in touch with the right SEO company for your website's particular needs. Sometimes dealing locally means that the company optimizing your website will know exactly what your product means to the community. This can mean getting a more specialized array of SEO that will make sure that your website ranks high in your area. After all, if you are trying to promote a product of local significance, it won't matter much if your website performs really well nationally but people next door can't find your site for anything. Local SEO services know how to overcome this and make sure that your website gets the local visibility it needs to guarantee that your business is successful.
