This is cross-posted at ProBlogger. Which, by the way, is the online resource that has been the most helpful to me over the past year as I have been figuring out the blogging world. ProBlogger has great answers to a very wide range of how-to-blog questions.

I'm going to tell you how to get a six-figure [...]

Exercise is an essential part of a successful career. It's an essential part of a good life. I think one problem a lot of us face is that we approach exercise like it's a choice.
When email first became widely used, I worked for a guy who thought it was optional. At some point, it truly [...]

By Ryan Healy – like most people our age, my friends don't really read blogs. So I created a My Space page to market my blog.  At first, this worked out great.  Our friends could see bulletins every time a new post went up and people got a better sense of what the blog was all [...]

When you try to decide should you stay at your job or should you quit, you probably focus on the part of your job that is not core to you. For example, getting coffee for the boss. You do that and then your boss teaches you, say, how to review a fashion show in Milan. [...]

The good news about getting a contract for a nonfiction book is that you don't have to write the book to sell it. You just have to write the proposal. The bad news is that often authors spend four or five months figuring out what the proposal is.
Where agents earn their commission is helping the [...]

So here I am in NYC, doing my book publicity stuff. I had grand plans for posting on the blog last night and today, but my Internet connection is terrible. As in, nonexistent. And it was going to be be the first weekday in months that I haven't posted.
I started feeling withdrawal. So I called my husband to ask him [...]

One of the biggest issues for writers today is how to move between print and online. The issue is really authority. For print people, moving online is difficult because their established offline authority has relatively little meaning online. Conversely people who are mostly online understand that there is a much more structured way to earn [...]

I am speaking at the American Society of Journalists and Authors in New York this Sunday. So I thought that in addition to regular posts, I'd do a little series this week on tips for writers.
I have never done a series, but I've seen them done on other blogs, so I thought I'd try it. When other bloggers [...]

I am excited to announce two things. The first is that traffic to Brazen Careerist increased by forty percent last month. The second thing is that LinkedIn agreed to sponsor this blog.
The two are related. Of course, LinkedIn wouldn't be sponsoring the blog if there was not a lot of traffic. But to be honest, [...]

I took down a blog post today. I made a pretty big mistake in taking a critique of a book and making a personal attack. I am sure sorry that I did that. I sure don't want to be that kind of writer. I probably made a bunch of other mistakes in that post too, [...]

Ryan Healy will write a new feature on Brazen Careerist called Twentysomething. Presently, he is working at his first job out of college, at a Fortune 500 company, and thinking of starting his own company (of course).
I met Ryan through Brazen Careerist. He told me he was starting a blog with his friend and he asked for some guidance. [...]

It turns out that young people are poised to significantly increase workplace productivity. But, before we get to that link, here are links to help us redefine age and rethink what engagement looks like at work.
1. Recompute your age
Here's a new way to think about which generation you are part of: How many social media [...]

When I was a new manager, one of the steepest learning curves I had was how to adapt my communication style for the various groups I interfaced with: Technical, creative, executive. Fortunately, I had learned from my days as an arbitrage clerk that each group of workers requires a specific type of communication, so I spent a [...]

Ta-da! It's my new blog design. This is a big moment for me because when I started blogging, I never dreamed that it would matter so much to me that I would actually pay to have a custom blog design.
There is an important lesson here about starting something new. Many people who have successful businesses [...]

This week's Business Week just hit the stands, and what do you know? My blog is featured.
Lindsey Gerdes wrote a great summary of my blog, proving to me that other people can write a better summary of our work than we can write ourselves. (Yes, this is why you should hire someone to write your resume.)
Anyway, for you [...]

A few months ago, I was interviewing this guy, Ben Casnocha.
The first thing you need to know about Ben is that he started a company when he was fourteen. And it's still around today, four years later. Ben doesn't run it, but my point is that it's a real company.
But no, wait, that's not my [...]

A lot of people ask me how to become a syndicated print columnist (because I am one), and while I was answering someone's questions the other day, it occurred to me that this is information that all bloggers can use as a way to make money from their blog.
Like publishing AdSense links or using affiliate programs, print [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I was overhauling my time management strategy. And believe it or not, things are getting a little better.
I have integrated my email and my to do list, which saves a lot of time moving information around my computer. And I have consolidated my work calendar and personal [...]

It's been a big few weeks here at Brazen Careerist.
First, I've been accepted at 9Rules, a smart, very picky, community of serious bloggers, and I've been invited to be part of the Washington Post's blog program as well.
On top of that, blogs with very heavy traffic have been linking here, so average daily page views for [...]

One of the mantras of the online marketing world is that if you want to get something noticed, you need an offline and an online marketing plan. Because each type of marketing is more powerful when used with the other type.
Bloggers are generous with advice about how to get mentioned on blogs, but what about [...]
