An Experiment In Blog Post Frequency

One of the most common questions I receive from fellow bloggers is “how many times should I post on my blog?” I usually respond with a simple and honest answer…I don’t know.

I have been blogging on and off for over 5 years now and still have no idea what the best blog post frequency is. Here on this blog, I typically try to post Monday through Friday. I’m usually too busy on the weekends to post and I expect my readers are as well. However, I do miss some …

7 Ways People Find My Blog In Google

A few days ago I was looking through my Google Analytics reports and clicked on the keyword feature to see what keywords my visitors have been using to find my blog. After looking over the whole list, I noticed 7 keyword phrases that make me really proud of my blog. I never would of guessed I would rank for these terms but now that I do, I love it. Haha.

Bookkeeping And Tax Tips For Bloggers/Freelancers

This weeks episode of Digital Nomad Radio is all about bookkeeping and taxes. I agree, it’s the most boring part of having a business. Unfortunately, it’s something we all have to do at some point.

The reason I chose this topic this week is because I spent about 8 hours (at least it felt that long) last night printing and scanning receipts, entering invoices, and catching up on all the books. It took me a lot of researching before I had any idea what I was doing. I have a feeling some of you are in the same boat as I was and are clueless about what to do.

Some of the topics I will cover include:

• Accounts Receivable - How to keep track of all your income.
• Accounts Payable – What you should be keeping track of for business expenses.
• Tax Deductions For Bloggers/Freelancers – I’ll share some of the tax deductions that you might be able to take if you are a blogger or freelancer.
• Invoicing Software - I’ll share a really useful tool I use for invoicing.

That pretty much wraps it up for this weeks episode. Click the continue reading link below (or the post title above) to listen to this weeks show.

An Interview On ShiteILike

Over the last week, I have had the pleasure of doing a few interviews with bloggers from all over the place. It seems people are really interested in the digital nomad lifestyle. Which is awesome!

I love answering questions about how I escaped the cubicle and managed to find a way to make a living myself. I hope it will help inspire more people to give it a shot.

Anyways, today I wanted to share with you an interview I did earlier this …

Life of Justin: Greatest Hits

One thing I have never done here on Life of Justin is put together a list of my favorite posts of all time. In other words, a greatest hits album without any music (or album for that matter).

So last night I took a long look at my archives page and went through all the posts I have written over the years.

It took awhile…that’s for sure. I’ve written a lot more posts than I thought. It’s amazing how my writing skills have changed with time. My earlier posts were …
