Blogging is my business, and when you’re trying to run a business it always helps when you can have every tool you need right at your fingertips.

It’s for this very reason, I sat down yesterday and created what I call “My Digital Dashboard”. It’s almost like having your own personal secretary to run and get things for you when you need it.

I tried using bookmarking websites, the bookmarks toolbar in firefox, and many other tools, but nothing offered the quick and easy (all tools on the table) approach I was looking for. So I created this, and I’m currently working on a version that you can use right out of the box.

Here’s a little video preview of “My Digital Dashboard”:

If this looks like something you’d be interested having for yourself, please let me know.

Have you ever been out with friends, or on vacation with family when you wanted to take a picture or video of yourself and everyone else together, and realized that you’d have to find someone to work the camera for you?

It’s really frustrating, and now with Christmas around the corner, it’s time you decided to change all of that headache.

An awesome tool that many bloggers and vloggers are using to make things a bit easier is the new XShot Camera Extender.

This thing can extend your camera reach up to 37 inches, which lets you in the picture as well.

The XShot was a big hit at IzeaFest this past year, when John Chow decided to play with it constantly after recieving one for free from a fellow blogger.

Here’s a video to illustrate just how it works:

I’ve already asked for one for Christmas, but if I don’t end up getting it as a present, it’s so cheap that I’ll probably buy it myself.

Do you have an XShot Camera Extender?

Some of you may have noticed everyone talking about Shoemoney’s Tools for pay-per-click, and SEO, and how great they are compared to everything else available to use.

They weren’t wrong.  I signed up yesterday, and after having looked over it in depth, I’m glad that I made the decision I did.  These are absolutely The Best tools for SEO and pay-per-click that I have ever seen, all piled into one solution.

Because I loved it so much, and because I want all of you to have the same opportunities to try them as I did, I talked to Jeremy extensively about offering a very large special discount for my readers only.

Jeremy’s tools originally cost $99 per month.  But I’ve talked him into letting me offer you those same tools to try for $9.95 for the first month.  This is a very rare offer, and will give you plenty of time to try it and see if you like it as much as I do.  To get the discount, simply enter the code: steven-sanders, when signing up.

John Chow offered his readers an 80% discount, but I’m offering it at a 90% discount.  Just for you!

I’m serious!  Try the tools.  They work!  You can get the Shoemoney Tools here.

Here’s a video from Shoemoney that helps explain a little more about them:

Many people often take blogging for granted and don’t think about how it really can make a difference in someone’s life.  Blogging has the power to change the world (it already has), and the power to give you a life that you could only dream of.

I recently came across a video by Glenda Watson (The Left Thumb Blogger) on Problogger that showed how Wordpress and blogging has changed her life in a major way.  I was moved by this video, and I hope it inspires you to really go for your dreams, no matter what limitations stand in your way.

Here’s the video, please take the time to watch it.  And visit Glenda’s blog to learn more about her as well.
