It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. It's time for another weekly Internet Business Fortune Cookie. Last night I had Jalapeno Chicken and fried rice. Basically, I call this “Texas Chinese Food.” It was really spicy hot, and that explains this week's cookie that talks about a hot new blog from Garry Conn.
The Cookie Speaks The Truth
As you know, everything you need to know about running an internet business can be learned from fortune cookies. This week The Cookie has obviously been surfing the Internet.
Hear The Cookie:
“Big things come in small packages.”
Of course, the fortune cookie is obviously referring to the fact that I got a small little email from Niche Blog and AdSense Guru Garry Conn last weekend announcing his Next Big Thing — a new blog!
Garry has launched BloggingQuestions.com, a blog where you can go to get your questions about blogging answered by the blogging community. Here's how it works (in Garrys' words):
How the blog works is very simple:People can follow or subscribe to the blog and read newly asked questions or even archived ones. Because these questions have been asked by readers such as yourself, it is very likely that you will have a personal interest in the questions being asked and the answers that go with them.The part that makes BloggingQuestions.com “one of a kind” and totally unique is the fact your questions are welcomed! There is no such thing as a stupid question on BloggingQuestions.com. You are invited to ask your own questions! Simply create a free account and post your question LIVE on the blog. From there people who read the blog (including myself) can provide you with answers by using the comment form.
Besides being the coolest domain name that I have seen in a long time, this promises to be a great resource for bloggers. Truly, a big thing in a small package.
The Cookie Speaks About Value — Follow The Cookie
One of the things that I like about Garry is that he really tries to help people. Sometimes, he does this to a fault, and people take advantage of him (you know who you are).
When I was just starting out working on MasonWorld.com, Garry took tons of his own time to help me. This new BloggingQuestions.com blog is another great example of Garry's willingness to lend a hand. Pay attention — Garry builds trust and gives people something in exchange for their participation in his business.
As a side note — I think Garry has a cousin or someone like that who works at GoDaddy. That is the only way I can explain how he gets these killer domain names.
So, listen to the cookie. Watch out for the small packages. There may be something big in there. Check out BloggingQuestions.com today.
Have a great day.

@Mark
This is a killer post. You describe exactly how Garry helps people all the time. This new BloggingQuestions.com is a perfect example. He has been setting me on the straight and narrow for about a year now, and I take every bit of his freely offered wisdom as a gem.
I also want to say thanks to you also, because your answers to questions I have posted are always clear, concise and interesting. This is such a great industry filled with talent.
All the best.

Thanks Rich. Garry has certainly helped a lot of people (me included). I appreciate being mentioned in the same breath. 🙂

Mark,
Thanks for pointing out this great resource. I have read Garry before and he’s great.
I just registered and subscribed to the RSS feed.
BTW…also passed on your PHP code to a friend that cloaks the affiliate link that you helped me setup. She loves it.

Wow Garry has cousin work in Godaddy? wow! may be I could ask Garry’s Cousin if I have any trouble in Godaddy :). Before I lost some great domains in Godaddy from Scammer, and Godaddy not help me for that case :(.

Garry and Mark are both great. I suggest you follow the cookie. Both have helped me with my business and personal blogs. Matter of fact, Garry will be helping us shortly with a project.
I would suggest in return for their awesome help that you look at the products they affiliate for. I think what makes them different is they actually believe in the products they recommend.
@Gushin — Thanks for the comments. That makes me really happy. I am glad that I was able to help.
@CD — Thanks, man. The cookie knows.
@Goonie. I was just kidding about Garry’s cousin. Sorry to hear about your experience with GoDaddy and the scammer. As an aside, I really like NameCheap more than GoDaddy. That is one area where Garry and I differ slightly. 🙂
The site is very well done. However, I think I asked a question that was so stupid Garry hasn’t found a home for it yet. 🙁
@kent No way Jose- Garry would never think a question was stupid! Give him time and he’ll have it posted. If it’s MMO or Social Media related I might even be one of the pros to answer. 🙂
Loved the post Mark. I think Garry’s new site was a great idea. I think we’ve all seen Garry’s Q&A posts and been pretty amazed at the turnout. Not only in the form of questions, but the amount of information Garry shares- truly amazing. I’m loving that this is now an entire site where Garry has encouraged other, more experienced bloggers and successful MMO pros to answer questions. Going to be a great community and I’m proud to be a part of it!
Excellent post.I visited Gerry´s blog recently and liked it so much I put a link to it on my blog roll.
