Another good choice is Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam HD. I bought one a few weeks ago, based on reviews like this, and I love it. The only thing it lacks, imo, is an audio in jack for an optional external microphone, tho the sound from its internal mic is not bad.

An often looked over fact is what you mentioned about not having a business plan. Most new bloggers want to convince themselves that they are “just” blogging. Wrong, you are a business person with a real business and a real brand. Treat your blog like you would any business that you would open on a street corner and you will be successful.

Great post!

Good work pays off we strive to do our best, and we are
clueless, to knowing if our work is ever noticed.

It’s quite amazing sometimes, how day after day, we strive to pursue our goals without seeming to make any real progress, when all of sudden, we make a meaningful breakthrough of some kind.

It may be small, but it’s still progress in the right direction. The key, is to continue to take those steps and not to give up.

This post exemplifies that message perfectly.

As much as I hear it, I never get tired of being reminded about consistency. It’s something I’ve always struggled with, but lately I’ve kept trucking and it’s been paying off.

Thanks for your post! We need to share positive success stories about blogging. I find somedays when I’m writing I feel like an audience of one…Me…and without feedback, it can seem isolating. But I too subscribe to the “Never Give Up” mindset and am determined to carry on. Cheers to everyone!

Mark’s small business link at the end of the article seems to go to a site with just a bunch of sponsored links. Is that the correct address?????
