Although I haven’t come up with idea to write a new post for this particular task, I noticed through my webstat that most people typed word : dreamland beach bali to enter my blog, and I realized it is one of the most popular beautiful beach in Bali, I have written a post about that dreamland that has changed into a new ‘tourist disaster’ kuta beach on my latest post Reasons why dislike Dreamland Beach Bali http://www.beeamazing.com/reasons-why-i-dislike-dreamland-beach-in-bali/ , so one problem solved through my blog :)

Thanks,Darren!

Let me redo my post so the links work:

I like talking about auditions on my blog as that is what we are doing most of all (sometimes more than performing!) In two posts, I discuss breath support http://operamouth.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/friday-fermata-breathless/, and general physical health http://operamouth.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/top-10-tuesdays/ and ways to help with those issues.

Your “7 Methods for Identifying Problems to Solve on Your Blog”, Darren, will surely help me to better understand my blog readers´ needs. The most incentive methods for me are numbers 2 – Look for Questions in Search Referrals, 4 – Ask Readers for Questions, 6 – Use Social Media to Gather Questions. I will try to use them for identifying problems, which could be solved on my blog. Thank you!

For this task we had a lot of posts that are not getting much traffic. It's a great chance to use the forum tasks as a way to get them noticed and hopefully help some people out at the same time by solving their problems. We are surprised! Very few people are making use of the forum for this task. It's another masterful problogger "win win" opportunity created for bloggers. TIP If you can't think of what problems to solve in your niche just go to answers.yahoo.com and in the search box type in some of your niche keywords. You are sure to find a lot of "how do i .." type questions being asked.

As I was reading this post, I was thinking – I’m not sure that I know how to solve problems – but as I kept reading, the ideas started coming.

Problems I can help encourage the discouraged, I can motivate those that feel they can’t make a difference, I can post pictures and show how easy it is to change a life with one simple act, I can tweet positive things, I can inspire others to seek the good, I can share the stories of others who are trying to make a difference.

I’m sure there are other things. Got to get into the forum!!!!

So many people start to-do lists, and then give up on them. So I wrote a post to help people “get back on the to-do list wagon.” It outlines the why, when, and how to create helpful task lists each day, featuring:

~ the 2 most important reasons to use a daily task list (they’re not what you think!)
~ the 3 types of people who use task lists
~ the best times to create them
~ the low-tech and high-tech variations
~ task lists for the state-of-the-art homemaker
~ and, 3 ways to prioritize your list

Today, I feel in the 31BBB groove!

I’ve been working on this post about hiring a Virtual Assistant, and I think it fits nicely with solving a reader problem. While not all of my readers are ready to engage an assistant for their blogging business, it’s good to be thinking about it. I also tried to entice VAs to participate in this post, and made it more appealing by letting them know I am going to be highlighting all the great VAs I learn about in a coming post. Here it is:

Cheers everyone! So much great work here!

Funny, I started off just trying to write a standard daily post, and it turned into a problem-solving one.

I love writing posts like this and you have provided some great idea for getting inspiration for those ‘help me’ posts.

thanks for another great challenge; I’m going to trawl through my search results today to find out what people are looking for :)

I am so grateful to Darren and all the good people associated with this site. I have used the internet since I was 14, and it’s a very comfortable place for me.

Steve Pavlina originally convinced me through his essays on the subject to think about blogging for money. I’ve always been a strong writer, and I’m completing college for motion graphic design at a reputable school in Canada.

I bought Problogger’s book, as well as Blogging Heroes, and haven’t looked back since. This is really ‘do-able’ for me, and my dreams of passive income, self-employment and full control over my own creative work are appealing. (intoxicating and seductive actually ;)

I even found a relatively obscure niche and am getting decent traffic. These principles are valuable beyond measure… (at least, I’m not going to measure them!)

Thanks a lot!!

Very interesting post…
I actually discovered TweetBrain while thinking of questions and tried it out. Terrific and useful. I am finding the forum is also a great place to get responses to this and other assignments – All Good! Thank you!

LOL, most of the terms from which people arrived on your site are just weird. :D

I like the idea of spending more energy looking through the search terms that people typed in to get to my website. Some sure are strange, though…

Good idea to become “the” place people look for information on our individual topics. Thanks again.

Interestingly, this is something I’ve already gotten into the habit of at least thinking of when I brainstorm Newsletter articles and some older blog articles. It’s an excellent reminder.
