Hi readers, the last month I was running 2 polls related with my blog. Probably you already saw the results but I’m going to share them with you now:

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

In this poll I asked you about my new theme, if you like it or not… Perhaps I got some negative replies, the most of the people like my new style, which is very important for me and for my brand. For those who voted against my new theme, I would like to know your thoughts about it and why don’t you like this one…?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

In this other poll I asked you about the browser you use because some users reported an error on my blog with IE. So this poll was to verify how many people is seeing this error, in order to know if is a priority or not to fix it.

Well followers as usual, now let’s check the posts of this week:

• Don’t Follow Trends: Set Them! by Dmitry on Smashing Magazine.
• 7 Essential Things You Should Be Doing When Your Blog Is Still Young by Leo Babauta on ProBlogger.

Today, 4th thursday of November it’s Thanksgiving in US unlike of Canada, which is on the 2nd Monday of October.

Although people don’t celebrate that in my country, I understand its meaning and because of that, I want to thank YOU for being my reader and stay tuned with my blog. Mr Javo dot Com is near of it’s first anniversary and I’m so proud to see how much this blog has grew.

One last thing… What are you grateful for?

Hi readers, to introduce this chapter of my series Spreading Love, I want to give you an advance of my new series of posts.

I don’t know why I never did it, but since the next month I will start writing posts giving to you my income reports. In these reports, besides the green numbers, I will give you some tips about how I did that money, this way you could duplicate them and earn money with your blog as I do.

Also, the next month I will create a website related to my web design services. The page that I created here in my wordpress installation is far from good and impressive. If I want to catch people who want to hire a web designer, I’m not giving my best with that page… So, may be I will create  a page on a subdomain like design.mrjavo.com or acquire a new domain name, I’m not to sure… What do you suggest me?

Ok enough of talking, let’s check the links of this week. I highly recommend you to check ALL the links, all of them are great and helpful.

Aren’t you following me on Twitter? I invite you to do it!

Hi everyone, since 1 hour ago I have the WordPress manager openned, but I just couldn’t start my post before… I wasted some time reading some great feeds, news, articles and looking stupid videos on youtube, as the following one:

That was funny huh? Well, what’s this post about? This could be named an experiment, to see if it’s possible to create any kind of reactions by writing something real quick, and without sense at all. Some minutes ago, I had not idea about what was I writing, but now I find a little path among this randomness.

What should you make in order to get reactions?

With the passing of time, I have seen viral things being spread through the web, and they didn’t have sense at all. So I was thinking about it, and I have listed some things that I think you can generate some buzz from:

• Craziness: The most of the viral videos have a little of craziness, shocking you the first time you see it. That’s why they are viral, because many people get shocked and then, when the video ends, they decided to share it with friends, just because they cannot believe it!.
• Professionalism: When something is very very impressive because of its quality, it will generate buzz without any doubt. This factor cannot be combined with the last one, perhaps you can add a bit of amusement in order to make it more fun and enjoyable.
• Charisma: You can suck at what you are doing, but if you have the gift to manipulate and convince people about what you are saying, certainly you will impact them.

Also, by doing something really terrible/bored you can attract the people attention, but this is a harder task.

Now, let’s take this 3 elements and let’s put them together focused in a blog. Blogs depend of the personality of the blogger, but there is something that can affect this behavior, and this thing is the niche. You cannot act like a crazy if you are blogging about something important, something related with your business for example… But instead, if you are blogging about your life, you can do it so crazy as you want.

There is a balance?

Of course! You can blog about something relatively serious but giving it a touch of your personality, being funny sometimes… But watch out! You need to measure this kind of behaviors because not everybody likes them. May be, you can start losing readers because of that.

Moral

Every story has a moral, and this post also has one. You won’t always know what will cause reactions on your readers. What many bloggers do is to stick to things/methods that have worked for them before. That’s a good idea, but also could be a bad one. What I recommend is to experiment! You can’t know if something will work if you don’t try it.

Don’t be afraid of trying new things, perhaps you discover a non wise potential that tapeworms . Wow! I got over 500 words in this real quick post which I wrote it in less than 30 minutes, what do you think about it?

Hi buddies, first of all I want to let you know that I have released a new section of my page called Web Design Services. As you can imagine, over there you can find all my design services which include:
